  • 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.

My Testimony of how I became a Christian

I have always believed in God , but would never go to church.
I didn't like the traditional type church with all the rules and hymms .
I didn't realize church could be like this.
I started talking to Sharona (a Christian friend at work) in 2005 and by November started getting strange things happen, mainly feelings that I didn't understand, feelings inside.
I finally decided to pray that the feelings would stop on June 2 2006.
They stopped almost immediately.
I went to church the following weekend but was very reluctant to go in.
I almost chickened out , and if it wasn't for the girls at the door seeing me drive in I probably wouldn't have gone in.
I didn't want to explain to Sharona why I chickened out when I saw her at work.
Once inside I found it wasn't what I expected, I enjoyed it but wasn't relaxed.

It took me 5 months to finally put my hand up and was saved late October 2006.
It was a great feeling and I had an amazing feeling inside for about 10 days after.
I also found my attitude to things has chaged alot, I no longer worry about things as much and lots of other things have changed too.
I am happier, more relaxed and stopped alot of my bad habits.
I found my interests have changed too.

Since then I have had many great experiences, my shoulder was healed while praying.
I now speak in tongues and pray for others to be healed and have heard God talk to me.

I love everything that has happened to me and wish that it had happened to me years ago.
I recently found out that the fellings I was originally getting were the result of Sharona praying for me and I will always be grateful to her for that.
