  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Bi-polar research

This is the beginning for research on a cure for bi-polararity among Christians. You'll have to pardon the directness but I'm looking for an answer, a path that a believer has found that worked - minus medication. It may not exist nowadays but I believe that it does through Christ, even this side of death. I see it as a spiritual problem as the symptoms are all addressed in God's Word. I'm the person with the sinful symptoms - anger, hate, anxiety, irrationality about abilities (pride or cowardice). These sins remain but thank God the depression has greatly abated. I've been on meds for a decade or more and have a love hate relationship with them. To those rightfully concerned I will not go off them without a good Dr.'s OK and watchful eye. Also, not suicidal anymore - again about 10 years - thank God. He's been merciful to me for his reasons and I need to thank him more for these blessings. To finish - it's not all doom and gloom - I enjoy many good aspects of my life with friends, good church, job, supportive family, and a love for the Word and Jesus though my "sin is ever before me". Please address this with your success stories - if any - minus meds. Gratefully
