  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi, everyone. I just joined the forum. I'm 38 years old and have never been a member of a church even though I've always believed in the existence of a higher power. My wife and I recently began going through the adoption process for a baby girl and I've decided to take my spiritual life more seriously. I've been reading the Bible on a regular basis, but haven't picked a church at this point.

I like mountain biking, motorsports, reading, and watching movies. My user name is a reference to my heritage, not my location.

Hi, nice to meet you. I hope the adoption process goes well for you both. :wave:

Hi Norge,

Welcome to CF. May the Lord give you wisdom and provide a good, gospel preaching church within a reasonable distance. It sounds as if the adoption process has moved along to a late stage. May God provide all the way through! (BTW "adoption" in the NT is a heart-warming salvation metaphor.)

Thank you!

We're actually closer to the beginning stages than the end. My wife and I were having fertility problems, so we went through our county's foster-to-adopt program. Our daughter was born May 30th and was surrendered to the county by her mother. The social worker called us June 1st and we went and picked her up from the hospital. The adoption process usually takes about six months, so we still have a little over four months to go.
