  • 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

on the 21st of june i have the opportunity to preach at a church, and given that ive only lead Bible studies, and that i dont know one way or another if God wants me to preach now or ever, i need God to guide and lead me to where i need to be. pray for me so i will know God's will in this situation, and if it is His will, that God will show me what to talk on. :)

thanx!

much Christian love,

Look for a particular passage of the Bible to keep popping up at you, and for its meaning to become as clear as glass. That will be the one he wants you to preach on.

Keep it short and to the point. Limit your examples and related ideas to two or three, no matter how many great ones you think of.

Remember that the man who preached before Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg spoke for over two hours, but Lincoln's Gettysburg Address only took 2 minutes. No one remembers the other guys sermon, or even his name, but school children still study the Gettysburg Address!!

So, a two-minute sermon can say more than a two hour speech!
