• 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.

Welcome to CF :)

You will find it helpful to look in our Welcome Center where we have topics like "New Member Intros", "For New Christians" and "Christian Forums How-To?" all to answer some of your questions and help you get around.

Here’s a little something put together to help you out:

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]In addition to the RULES & FAQ, here are just a few forums that might be helpful in starting to explore the place. [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The links are found on the HOME page:[/FONT]

Start off in the WELCOME SECTION, then poke around a bit.

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]CF Announcements [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif](what’s going on around here) [/FONT]​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Report Bugs [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif](not the crawly ones) [/FONT]​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]About Blessings: [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]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. [/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessings are used like money here.[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Every time you post you get blessings as well. [/FONT]​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The same with the "Bank" you can put blessings in the bank and go once a month to collect interest. Each time you deposit or withdraw blessings the timer gets reset for another week. [/FONT]​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]There is a fun area here called [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Blessing Exchange[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif], where people play different games to earn more blessings in larger amounts.[/FONT]​

More info on blessings can be found at this link: http://christianforums.com/showthread.php?p=8829037#post8829037

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]To get a Character, go to the top, right corner of the Home Page, and see [User CP] next to [Home]? Click on [User CP] (that stands for User Control Panel). Scroll down a little bit and on the lefthand side click Edit Avatar. On the next page, click Living Avatar--and then decide if you want to Edit Avatar (your character) or Purchase Items. You will need to select a body, hair, eyes, lips, and eyebrows/facial hair for your character to be seen. I personally chose to show my CF Angel wings, but you can choose whatever works for you! [/FONT]​

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Finally, you might want to look in the [/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Life Stages[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]forums to find a group that fits you. I'm in the Women's Discussion, Parenting, and Marriage Ministry, and there's a life stage there to fit YOU![/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]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.[/FONT]
