  • 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.

Hi everyone, I am Steven Alkenbrack, currently of Calgary , Alberta Canada. As of the end of July I will ne moving to Red Deer , Alberta. I am new to this board, and new to christianity. As of child and teen I attended Church on an ongoing basis. Sunday morning and evening, Wednesday night, Friday night. I spent more time at church then anywhere else. As i grew, I grew away from the church scene and fell to the world. Off and on for the past several years, I have been I guess you can say on again off again christian. Many times I have prayed for forgivness and several times I have fallen. I find living in a big city like Calgary(Almost 1 million people) it is hard to do, when you are almost alone . I have a beautiful wife and 2 wonderful daughters who are going through alot of Peer Preasure at school, and have developed attitudes that are not to our liking. As much as we talk to then about what to do and what not to do, they still do the wrong thing. Then it makes you mad, and you do and say things you regret( hit a wall, swear, etc). But as of late I have really got to thinking abot life and where I am in my life, and it wasn't where I wanted to be. I have prayed many times for forgiveness over the past month or so, and I have prayed the prayer. I am currently in search of a church that I can rely on and trust, as I have been to many where people are very cliqueish, and snubb you , and very hipacritical (?). As I mentioned I am moving to Red Deer in about a month and a half, and I will be looking for a church once I get there .
Alittle bit about me. I am 28 years old, living in Alberta Canada , with my wife Dianne and 2 daughters Issabella and Dakota. I work as a cook in a downtown cafeteria. I am a part time Professional Wrestler with a promotion based out of Red Deer . The promotion is new and will be doing its first show in August. I lived in Ontario for about 10 years before moving back to Calgary where I met and married my wife.
I just ask that you pray for me and my family as I try very hard to walk down that golden path, and that my family will eventually follow. Thank you.
