  • 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

Yuh wanna copy of one of my sermons....?

:) Sure, for my husband! He was once told be an older gentleman that there was no place for humor in the pulpit. He let that bother him a while but God knew that was part of his personality when He called him to preach.

I personally think it's a wonderful asset to a pastor.

I absolutely think God has a sense of humor - just look at the platypus. ;-)

I think that Ben probably made a joke about something the man considered to be too reverent to joke about but he didn't tell Ben.

I did suggest to Ben not to joke about something like water baptism. Like he shouldn't say things like "hold 'em under 'til they bubble".

I can prove God has a sense of humor. Yuh see there was a young Christian couple planning their wedding. They requested the baker to put 1st John 4:18, everything up to the colon, on the cake:

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear"

Well, the baker was not a Christian and didn't realize there was a difference between 1st John and the Gospel of John. I'll let y'all look up what was on the cake...
