  • 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

Prayers for the firefighters... please!

At the moment there are over 50 bushfires burning around bush areas around Sydney.   I live on the Central Coast, which is about 80km north of Sydney, and I'm currently about 50km away from the closest fire.  We get ALL the smoke from it - I'm going to take a photo of a blood red sun unless it rains before Saturday night

Anyway...  Please pray for rain and for protection over families, firefighters and their homes - I think over 100 homes have been lost already

Oh Father God, I pray for extra special protection for all the fire-fighters. Keep them safe, dear Lord protect them. Help them to put out the fires, and save as many homes as possible. I pray that no lives would be lost. In Jesus precious Name, Amen.:pray:


Btw, I heard on my local news that a fire-fighter died in a freak accident at an Army base near my home (Fort Rucker). It happened Wednesday night. Please pray for his family.:pray: The firefighter was 31 years old, and his name is Kerry G. Neis of Enterprise, Alabama.

Thanks everyone :)

It's been raining ALL day, and before the rain started there were 80 separate bushfires. It turns out something between 40 and 50 homes were lost. As far as I know there have been very few casualties and no fatalities :)

Anyway, apparently not all the fires are out, but the very few which are left are under control, praise God!
