  • 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

Yesterday I gasped for breath
As depression choked my life.
My last hope was ripped away;
I was helpless as I watched.
I crumpled to the ground
And wondered if this was the end.
Broken and emptied of all joy,
I was left a hollow shell.
One saw me there and pitied me;
He drew me close with nail scarred hands.
Without a word he held me there,
And slowly changed my shattered heart.
He turned the stony remnants
Into whole and beating flesh,
Then carried me among my friends
Whose prayers helped me to stand.
