  • 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 cannot stand tracts that are disguised as money. They are deceitful. Especially when given as a tip at a restaurant and leaving no actual tip. I once worked at a restaurant with some people that were not Christians and most servers rely on tips to pay bills, food and other amenities. When these deplorable "ministry tools" are used it doesn't do anything but deceive the server. It's not meeting a need, it's showing how much of a immoral person one is. One of my coworkers received one, that looked like a $100 the same night that someone had stolen her purse at the restaurant. She was always one of the best servers we had. Always made sure here guest were comfortable and treated them with the upmost respect. She struggled financially, having to pay for school plus her child. One other coworker and myself at the end of the night, decided to give her our tips because we knew she was struggling especially after both incidences that had happened. Even combined it was not a lot of money maybe around $150. She was not a Christian though she would at times ask questions about it and that tract actually hurt her.

I ask, if you have some of these, if you use them for tips, at least put more actual money then what it has printed on the tract. Truthfully they all should be thrown away.

Wow, it even says on the website NOT to leave it as a tip. Knowing that some people are going to do it anyway, why keep printing it? I understand that it's eye-catching and that is the purpose, but it is a tacky way to go about it.
