• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

thanks

Without going into details let it suffice to say I've had a very long and stressful week (sadly some of the stress is from CF - but oh well).

Anyhow - I just want to take a second to thank my Reformed brothers and sisters for being here, for being a place of solace for me. Even when you aren't trying you are the voices of reason, of sound doctrine, of Christian love and charity.

I lurk more than post over here lately.
I just got a warning from a catholic moderator, I think about my recent postings in the Church History forum.
Seems like the RC's have been dominating it lately.
I say "I think", because every time I try to open it, I get kicked to a log-in page. When I oblige by logging in (again), I get the log-in page again. Go figger.

I love you, Edie! Thanks for everything you do and for being such an encouragement to me and everyone else! I agree, when things get too much for me in the other forums, I come here for a breath of fresh air and some loving fellowship!

Edie,

Thanks for your part in making SR like coming home. Things have been stressful around here and I have limited my posting to SR because it is a haven from the weary battle.

this sounded real familiar! That's exactly what was happening to me when I was away from CF for the past few mos. I finally had to write the admin. and they reset my password for me and that stopped the problem (so far).
I hope you keep posting despite discouragement... sometimes we need a break, but we always need to be serving the Lord in what we're gifted with when we've been spiritually refreshed or rejuvinated. =)
