• 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.
  • 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. My name is Nick Lotter.

I am a sinner saved by God's grace, a husband and father of 3 (2 of my own and 1 adopting)

I serve as an elder in a small Baptist church. I have been preaching since 2008. I am a protestant Christian and have a reformed baptist perspective.

I have recently launched a website to equip men to lead their families in studying the Bible and worshiping the Lord Jesus. I believe that all men are called to love and lead their families sacrificially, and it is our responsibility to teach the Word to our family (Eph 6:4). I have found that many men want to do this, but need guidance. My website (Shape & Sharpen) provides Bible studies and Bible study guides to help anybody read, understand and apply the Scriptures.

I am looking forward to chatting and being a member of this community.
