  • 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

God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me !!!

No more excuses now. God can use you to your full potential.

Besides, you aren't the message -- you are the messenger.

    1. Dear God, I have a problem - it's me.
    2. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
    3. Growing old is inevitable . . . growing UP is optional.
    4. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
    5. Silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted.
    6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
    7. Faith is the ability to not panic.
    8. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.
    9. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
    10. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home everyday.
    11. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.
    12. The most important things in your house are the people.
    13. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
    14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
    15. When we get tangled up in our problems,
      be still so God can untangle the mess.
