  • 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.

Hiya peoples!

::Waving hello:: :wave: It's nice to meet everyone. I've been searching for a good online Christian community and it seems like this might be the place. I'm a super-friendly sort and encourage people to PM me so I can get to know you better. ^_^

I'm also a baby Christian, as they say. I've always been ever-so-close to opening the door, but something always held me back. This past summer, the Lord guided my family to a new house 40 miles across town to a little bitty town on the Galveston Bay (that's in Texas) and then led me straight to a new church. I was welcomed there with open arms and smiling faces and 4-weeks later found myself praying with the pastor to accept Jesus as my savior. My DH is a Christian and was glad to see me become one, although he was hesitant to believe me at first. (He doesn't always go to church with us yet. :sigh: ) Considering how far away I had turned from God previously, I can't say that I blame him though. At least I found my way home though. Praise the Lord for that.

Since then it's been a nonstop rollercoaster for us in life. Everything seems to be going downhill and then just stops and gets better instead. Even more so since I finally said enough and took the leap of faith that I'd been having problems taking. LOL Last week, my 10 yr old son accepted Jesus into his own life and I feel so happy I could just burst. :D

Well let me be the first (OK second, I take too long to type) to give you a warm welcome!:wave:

I'm sure you'll really like it here on the boards. There's a little something for everyone, from deep theological discussions to coping with everyday life, and even a board on arts and crafts. You outta skip over there and tell everyone what cross-stitch you're working on.

I look forward to chatting with you on the boards. Enjoy.:clap:
