  • 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

I was raised in the church, or dare I say churches. I was exposed to different churches and denominations along the way due to parental divorce, relocating, or witnessing practices in the church that was not as one would hope for or expect. I prayed "the prayer" at age 7 and was announced saved in a small Baptist church that eagerly accepted me as a new member. I attended Church services and functions and lived a life as a "Christian" but it was an empty existence and one without a real God in it. I went through the motions as one would expect, while doubts became increasingly unsilenced and unavoidable.
In 2008, I truly started to come to know God for the first time in my life, and knew instantly all the years before were lies. I live now for Him, and His Son, Jesus, and know that as each day that passes, I learn more and want to know more.
This is why I am here and why I am eager to interact with each of you.
