  • 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

idk if this is the spot to post this on, but I read this book called "Jesus Freaks: Dc Talk and the Voice of the Martyrs." By the time I finished with the book I was left in awe. I never knew there were so many people in the world that died for Jesus Christ! These people had so much faith in Jesus that they would rather die for the Lord than sin and be alive. Some ppl would rather go to jail for Him than be free and disobey Him. This book has INCREASED my faith tremendously. It goes to show that when you have Christ in your life, you have nothing to be afraid of.

I read that book a few months back. What an excellent read! And you are so right. I mean, you know that persecution is out there, but to the extent that it is in this book, I had NO idea it was STILL happening that bad. After I read it, I had to take a look at myself and question why I let dirty, confused, mean looks get to me and shut me down. It changed me as well.

Not sure of the book, but Voice of the Martyrs is an awesome organization... they have been around a long time.

You should check out:

Foxe's Book of the Martyrs
