• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A response to yet another endless theological debate...

When "theology" is reduced to merely "The study of...", we outta here!

Let none of us, me included, lose sight of the fact that our relationship is with the Person of Jesus Christ. He is the Author of Scripture and had a Word for some who had their noses so deep in wrangling over said Scripture - that they failed to recognize and fellowship with the One Who fulfills the law - Grace Himself.

In regards to that, know when to continue to engage, and when to walk away - even allowing the other guy to have the last word. A good clue is when both sides are lobbing Scripture at each other, and neither is listening, eh?

None of us really have the last word anyway.

Only One does - The Amen!

I like theology of daily life. It is there sometimes hidden.
