  • 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

Well this is my first New Thread and hopefully not my last. I've read a few posts in this "courting couples" category and am finding it surprising the lack of knowledge so many seem to have when it comes to living a christian life, while being in a relationship with someone. I think churches need to create a ministry where this is a part of teaching to young people, as they enter the mid teen years, so there is not such a lack of understanding.

The relationship one has with God must take precedent. It has a combination of realizing who you are as a new creature in Christ, the responsibility you have to God and what "commitment" truly means - to God first and then to those one has a relationship with.
