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

Well, the Bible tell us differently.
Matthew 10:29-31
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny[a]? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.


The number of hairs on each of our heads. The location of every single sparrow. God knows these things, in addition to knowing all about all the galaxies in the universe and beyond. It is supposed to blow our minds that the God who made and controls all of that knows all about our hair, and our ears and if we put holes in them or not.

I know the Bible doesn't condemn the piercing in itself, but I decided if it feels wrong I won't get one. I know that I'm not a rebel, but I'm scared that some people might get the idea that people with multiple piercings are rebels...I don't want people to think that, so hmmm I might not get one. The only reason I care what people think is because I want to represent Christ...but if people won't get that kind of idea, then I want to get the piercing. I know they shouldn't judge me by my appearance, but they will anyway. I feel kind of dumb for caring about such a small thing, but I just don't know what to do.

I think that you're being incredibly wise about this.

There is nothing dumb about it!
