• 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.

Hi Everyone!

Hey everyone, my name is Amanda and I'm new to this site and I have been a newer Christian for about a year and a half . I struggled with alcohol addiction for nearly 10 years and My life got so low and so depressing and I just couldn't look forward to anything anymore, I was lost in addiction and anxiety, then one day I came across a sermon online about Jesus and I didn't look back .

it took me a few months of continuing my habit but I would watch and learn about Gods word and its like I hung on to those words of hope and then the day I accepted Jesus in my heart and gave him my life I didn't look back and he transformed my life so much! since that day my life as being an addict is a memory and even tho this past year there has been so much struggles with family health and trials I know that God is leading me through and giving me wisdom and strength on getting through it . thank you for reading and looking forward to this forum and to learning more on Gods word :)
