  • 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

:angel: I have been a Christian for many years, but I recently realized that I never really paid attention to most of the things spoken about in church. I have no doubt that I'm saved, that I'm going to be with God in heaven. But I started to feel empty when I realized that I really don't know that much about my religion. I don't know the difference between what I believe and another type of Christian. I realized it was time for me to learn, and grow in God. To find myself and find God and make sure he's a larger part of my life. I wanted to write this message to inspire you to do the same. I feel that I need to not only grow in God, but grow with other Christians as well to really have an understanding what it is that God wants in my life, for my life, and how he wants it done. I do have general knowledge of God's word, and my beliefs, but when I realized it doesn't go much deeper than that...I started to feel very disappointed in myself for never realizing, or caring, before. I hope you find this something to build upon and something to help others. God Bless!:prayer:

I know just what you mean endure32 i grew up in a christian family, knew everything in my head but hey there was this emptiness that nothing could fill, my heart was lonely, sad, till this year, when the Lord showed me by a simple butterfly landing on my finger that He is there always and wants me to know him personally He took the time to make the butterfly a beautiful creature how much more time and love does He have for me, and what am i giving back to Him, just what i feel the Lord needs or all of me. I pray that everyone will have a truely wonderful experience with their Heavenly Father and that He becomes more real to them evry day.
God Bless you all

oh my. Those posts really help. I grew up in a christian family, been baptised christend, the lot. I even went to a private catholic school for 3years. But lately I've been having doupts. Many doupts. But then I've found things that i can believe. I'm on a seesaw that can stop on two different paths, christionhood and the non-christionhood. I think that this website has helped me alot. I think it has given me more reasons 4 not straying from the christion path.

:angel: I really think that the ability to touch other peoples lives with feelings of my own is something very special to me. I don't intentionally try to say things that touch people, but I just speak from the heart. I think that even reading my words, and reading the responses I've had, really helps me realize that there are so many people out there that just have faith, and that's what it's really all about. Having faith!!! God Bless you all!!!:hug:
