  • 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

Whoever hears my words and does them is like a wise man who builds his house on the rock.
Mat 7:24-25
All who comes to me, and hears my words, and does them, I will point out to you to what extent they are similar:
They are similar to a man which built to populate, and he digged deep, and to lay up the foundation on a rock: and when the flood came into being1, the riven tore violently2 upon that house, and could not budge it: because of the right building3of it.
1* Greek γενομενη ginomai [Luk 6:48 (arose) come into being]

2* Greek ποταμος waterway, river, riven; tear or be torn violently

3* Greek οικοδομησθα building
