  • 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

Since the day I was saved I've felt great desire to understand the Bible and theology and help others to understand the Scriptures. Over the years I've consumed the Bible and other Christian literature quite much. I have pretty good grasp of theology and the Bible as an enthusiastic lay person.

Lately I've been pondering if I should really pursue official training in theology and biblical studies. Especially I'm excited to study the Bible in the original languages.

So basically I'm requesting that God would show what is His will in this. Is it academic waste of time hindering my service in the church or is God calling me to academic career? Also I ask that I would get the sensitivity to slow down in my thirst for knowledge and just to sit with the Lord in quietness.
