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, I'm CrystalHeart one of the CF Angels
![url]](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2F%5Burl%5Dhttp%3A%2F%2Fi39.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fe181%2Fgrdynangl%2FCFWelcomeAngel%2Fkitiluv2.gif%5B%2Furl%5D&hash=f91f46b3e025163784e4c1d838206ed7)
Here’s a little something put together to help you out,
Maybe you’re an old-hand at Internet discussion boards, but in case you’re somewhat overwhelmed, now might be a good time to take a peek at the FAQ which will explain a lot of things here at CF.
You probably read the Terms of Service you agreed to when joining, but now might also be a good time to read through the Rules. They might seem long, but it may help make your stay smoother to somewhat familiarize yourself with them. They’ll tell you where and when one can post what, like, posting images (after 100 posts), restrictions on some particular forums (by age, gender and such), how to get or earn blessings (sort of our CF money) for a CF character or pet, ‘armor’ (clothes for your character), games and such, the Private Message (PM) system. You require a 100-post-count before your allowed to Private Message. If someone messages you or sends you blessings you can reply however. More on Blessings near the bottom CF is a huge place and we want you to feel welcomed and enjoy us.
You’ll notice we have an Intro Sticky: http://www.christianforums.com/t1110956-please-read-the-rules-before-posting-thanks.html
Most forums have other ‘Sticky’ introductions that can often be important to read before posting in that forum.
Here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. Just click on the links and find a place you like:
CF Announcements (what’s going on around here)
Report Bugs (not the crawly ones)
CF How-To (Mostly technical questions on site usage)
CF Welcome Angels (CF helpers)
Regional forums – Where are you from?
Congregations – What church you go to?
Chatting with individual Staff members (usually in informal ways of friendship)
Friendship Court (for meeting friends)
Face the Board (which is ‘open’ to all members to ask YOU questions)
Recovery (non-professional help with particular life struggles)
Outreach to non-Christians by Christians, seeker prayers and help from Christians, etc.
Edification (Christians Only) Blogs, Prayers, Testimonies, Advice
Help with creating a CF HomepageHow to become a site supporter (and financially help this ministry)
Help with IRC (Internet Relay Chat)
And if you are looking for things to do besides posting, you can ...
Take quizzes: http://www.christianforums.com/quiz.php (costs 10 blessings each)
Create a character: http://www.christianforums.com/characters (costs ~150 blessings to begin, but you’ll want to use more to get armor/clothes)
Create a pet (and take care of it): http://www.christianforums.com/pets (costs ~700 blessings to start (unless you adopt)
Create your own blog: http://www.christianforums.com/blogs
Participate in polls: http://www.christianforums.com/f4-cf-polls.html
Play games: http://www.christianforums.com/arcade.php (costs 10 blessings for each game)
Create/Develop a homepage: http://www.christianforums.com/f651-...iscussion.html
To see a full list of forums click on "Christian Forums" in upper left hand corner. I hope these links are helpful to you.
About Blessings:
Blessings are used here to do things like get a character, changing your Signature or Avatar, and getting "armor" Clothing for your character, even a Pet, and to buy the pet food to feed it daily. Blessings are used like money here.
Every time you post you get a blessing as well. And if you look up at the top you'll see where it says "Jobs”. There are different levels of your amount of Blessings that you choose a "job", you really don't DO anything, but you get to collect a certain amount of blessings each week. You don't automatically get them, you go there and hit the collect button.
Same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a week to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week. See the ribbon by my Character, thats my "job". As my amount of posts go up I go and quit the old job and start a new one and collect more blessings every week.
There is a fun area here called Blessing Exchange, where people play different games to earn more blessings in larger amounts.
If you need or want help in creating your Character or Avatar please let me know
Have a happy journey here at CF and feel free to contact the New Member Intro forum moderators or other Staff, or the CF Angels with any questions. We are volunteers here and may not always have ready answers, but are filled with patience and kindness and will usually point you in the right direction and are intent on being helpful to your concerns.
The quickest way to reach one is to left click on our name and then look for their Private Message (PM) link (once you have 100 posts, unless one of us PM’s you then you can reply). Prior to the 100 posts you can post a “Help Needed” message in that forum area and one will message you. I'd like to walk you through getting a character, and an Avatar if you need help.
Thanks, Hugs and Welcome!

Welcome to CF! There's something for everyone here. It's an amazing, complex place. Something that helped me a LOT when I joined was to go to my Control Panel at the top of the page, and go to Edit Options. About three screens down you'll see some options to add titles and URLs for the "Custom Navbar". As you find forums on CF that you want to participate in, put their URL as one of your custom navbar URLs. That way, it will show up on the top of your screen each time you visit, and will act as a quick shortcut to the forums you visit the most.
I look forward to getting to know you as you post in the community.
