• 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

Africa and similar countries are facing civil wars, corrupted officials who have their own agendas which are more important than the starving people. I have been reading missionaries' reports over the years on what are going on over there BEHIND the scenes which official reports do not reveal.

Reading Ecclesiastes is a huge reminder that "Life is NOT fair".

Regarding governments around the world. Reading history of great Christians who died in the hands of the government is a good learning history. Corruption effects every aspect of a person's being. Corruption (sin) have a beginning which root is located. To me, root means a beginning source which is a starting point. Corruption's root is in my heart which also commonly known as the core of our being.

Hi man:wave:

Do America and Britain not have huge national debts? And is Saudi Arabia not one of the richest countries?
