  • 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 have an important message of encouragement for you my dear fellow Christians.
Luke 10,41-42 - and my opinion on what sloth points to as a deadly sin.
In todays society philosophers, physicists, mathematicians and artists are not celebrated. The celebrities of today do in fact NOT bring the mindset forward, and instead help to paralyze people in a state of total passivity. This is what the Bible talks about as a deadly sin. To hide from truth out of cowardy and comfort.
Mary is not passive, listening is not passive. It is in fact very brave and active. To force yourself to stay open through your human limitations and what is expected, to seek, to know Jesus and love like He teaches us.
I grew up in an atheistic household in a city where I had never met a religious or even spiritual person. God has taught me privately, as he wishes to reach all hearts through the gift of love. Jesus told me from an early age that the solution to ALL of my problems was to love myself more and to love everyone else more. And I have come to find this is the truth and the greatest blessing of all. To truly discover how to love and to love all creation unconditionally. I know even through torture and death I would remain full of light, love and a joy so great it is unbearable. I could never be more blessed than to know that all I am is Gods will.

Hello and welcome OdaPunkt!

I totaly agree with you. Easy living is constantly advertised. Of course, it's important to have a kind of good luck. But so few sources point out what a great job a person should do to apper in the right place and in the right time.

I believe there should be a permanent work of mind, and then you will bring the light to this world.
