  • 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

This morning during my Bible Study I came across Luke 9:57-62, shortly after I read the story of a Chinese brother in Christ, Ming from the 'Open Doors World Watchlist'.

Ming used to regularly load his car full of Bibles to distribute with his friends but one day the Chinese authorities caught him.

Ming lost his business and his father in law prohibits him from seeing his wife and daughter.

His response? He says: "I feel heavily the burden of taking part in the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 which energises and encourages me to stay commited to the call of sharing the Gospel to my people".

Let us be challenged by Ming's story, what are we, in the free West, doing for Christ?

Please also pray for Ming's safety and discernment as Chinese spies often pretend to be fellow Christians.
