• 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 all.

I'm new here. I am looking to make some new friends. I have been a Christian for many years (not all smooth sailing). I am married to an amazing woman and we have a wonderful family, but we currently live in a small town and only have limited contact with other Christians, so I am hoping to find some new friends here.

Biggest problem (from my experience online) is the time difference. I live in Western Australia and am in the opposite timezone to most of you. Not excluding anyone, but if there are others from this part of the world, that would be awesome.

I am interested in a wide range of Christian topics, and consider myself to be a Spirit filled, moderately Charismatic, yet balanced believer. There are so many 'categories' out there, it can be confusing and, at times, a little frustrating. I have no interest in fighting with others or continually defending my beliefs (other than the command given in 1 Peter 3:15). I just want to share my love of the Lord and perhaps some mutual encouragement.

Shalom.

Thanks for the welcome Alex. Yes, I've been around long enough to realise that controversy is lurking around every corner on the net and on Christian forums in particular (it seems). That's ok. I was just putting it out there in the hope that some like minded individuals might find me. :)

Controversy exists simply because everyone has their own opinions. However, there are some who push their opinions on others, and think this is what you are addressing.
