• 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

Hey guys! I made a survey about evangelism and if you have a few minutes to fill it out, I'd really appreciate it! I'm just curious about how strong people are about sharing the gospel and what some reasons are for not being more proactive in that. Thanks in advance!

... I'm just curious about how strong people are about sharing the gospel and what some reasons are for not being more proactive in that. Thanks in advance! ...

In my observation we - not just I - don't get adequately equipped. But we must also ask with whom are we to share the gospel? Is there not large scale confusion and haziness about it among Christians also?

Dr David Pawson points out most Christians get an abnormal birth.

Is "counting the cost" not both more serious and less scary than we believe?

If there is a cost, will God keep account of the benefit in others' lives including those already Christian?

Is the church fivefold (one-fifth evangelisers)?

Would outsiders join a church where they see members - if lucky ones get fawned over - aren't necessarily nurtured in character, discernment, prudence, virtue?

Is belief in Holy Spirit power for caring not vital to old timers as well as prospective newcomers?
