  • 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

DO YOU FEEL DISCOURAGED?

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

I'm always encouraged when I read the Bible. God hasn't forgotten us; His will is better than mine and will always be done!

Yes and when you have that realisation that God is there and that His will was right and best all along. But there for the grace of God go I.

I think its rare to hear the great words of the prophets and men of the bible. It was like a testimony to the world. It was not just words but it was born out of experience and realisation of God. Especially in that God was revealing Himself as the Creator and Father God. A personal God.

I wish there could be great men and women that will speak out like this again to the world. Speak with authority and truth that when all hear it they know it is truth. No worldly evidence is needed. It is believable because it is spoken truth and reality.

I believe that Gods spirit comes when His church needs it. With all the bad stuff that has been happening. Especially all the whitenoise of words and narratives all fighting for the truth. People are confused and cannot believe or trust anything that is said. The truth is turned into a lie and a lie the truth.

But the great men of God speak from the heart, from the spirit with truth and authority. The world needs to hear them again. Not TedTalk and TV Evangelists, But great Christians who will rise up and remind the world of the Almighty God. Christ truth will cut like a sword that it cannot be denied.
