• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

Thank You

Having been a member of a wonderful home based Church once, and for decades now of local Presbyterean (PCA) Churches; I want to commend your sticky above about not discouraging people from attending the non-home based Churches.

If the Bible is held in high regard, the Gospel preached, Justice and Mercy both honored; the rest is of less import.

There is much truth in what you say. The most important thing is to know the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord of our life, and then to try to live for Him and honor and obey the Word of God, and help others on.

One should also see that Christian experience includes three main truths: Redemption Way, Church Truth, and Spiritual Life. It is a blessing to know for sure one is redeemed (saved) and made a "child of God" through faith in Christ and on their way to Heaven; and it is a blessing to appreciate true worship as shown in the Word of God in both a personal and collective way universally, and to live and walk with the Lord along our path being a "light shining in a dark place"; and also it is a blessing to take "all the counsel of God" as shown and seek to show "unity of the faith" as "one body in Christ" in the order and function given by God for Church Truth.

I find these three aspects of church testimony is what God has given us while here below.
