  • 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.

Hello Everyone,
I am a new member (obviously). I am a 15 year old, homeschooled girl, 11th grade. I have been called to be a missionary, and am planning on going to mission college in a few years to fulfill that goal; I try to be a missionary in my everyday life as well. I love to sing, and I am going to tour with the Continental Singers next summer. I also enjoy writing poetry, reading, acting, and doing anything artistic.
I find myself struggling in my attempts to live an "abundant" life. How does it happen? I have chronic depression, so it's hard sometimes to live life at all. I'm trying to believe that all things will work together for good, but it's hard sometimes to put my faith in those words. Any advice? I already know that I should "give my situation to God" I've been told that many times, but usually it's just one of those things people say without knowing what it means. I would enjoy getting to know someone through the internet who would like to communicate regularly. I have my questions, but can also give good advice. I also have a good sense of humor despite my depression.
