  • 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

I just thought it would be nice to have a place to put messages we may have heard and may be of use to others.

I picked this message last night at random as a means to fall asleep (I cant sleep in absolute silence, my mind wont shut off that way) but after hearing it, I thought it may be of use to others.

Very good sermon @timewerx and a good reminder. It's so important to have discernment and to be careful of the things of this world.

The second one is also a good reminder too. Especially for me. It seems my joy is being stolen from me most days.

Thanks for the videos. :angel:

I like Dr. Charles Stanly on the radio but I don't watch his sermons often. Who I do like to watch is Adrian Rogers who is now passed away but when alive he was a really good preacher.

I listen to Adrian Rogers on my Kindle Fire when I go to bed and for the last two nights I have listened to this sermon which I really like.

No problem!

Pastor Paul used to be a full time missionary who faced incredibly tough odds in 3rd world countries, getting the Word in really difficult and dangerous places.

He tends to be harsh given his broad perspective of the world and seen some of the worst cases of poverty and hopelessness in 3rd world.

He often sees Christians in the USA as blinded by the relatively easy life compared to the rest of the world, who will not follow Christ to the ends of the world if it means losing them.

Thanks for the background of the pastor! Now I see why he is harsh, and certainly understand why.

Because I have been super blessed to live in a 1st world kingdom, I have been looking for a charity to donate to; since I can't be out in the world (lack of money to travel). The only way I know how to reach people outside is, well, the internet!

My favorite professor from college and one of my mentors from then spoke in chapel yesterday and my alma mater posted it to their page. Honestly, one of the best sermons I've ever heard. I'm totally going to use the phrase "Circumference of Affections" now...

This is not really a sermon, but it was a message that was playing on my car radio today at just the right time, and I found it to be very edifying given my life's circumstances and all of that jazz, so to me it was like a sermon.

Ted Talk from The Center of Applied Reasoning, on NPR

^I always liked Charles Stanley, and can identify with the story of Joseph, for having gone through many a dark time in life. Since you addressed that sermon to @Wayholka , something I've been wanting to say but haven't found the opportunity to, is that God "makes" or "forms" us through adversity, and it isn't always easy to see that. So, hang in there man.
