• 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.

i was brave today.
at work i mentioned church, just briefly, but a lot of my workmates probably dont know I go to church so this was a big thing for me. so now two maybe three know.
it felt a bit strange afterward like my own insecurities about them maybe rejecting me because of it, or it changing how they see me. time will tell.
I've just been convicted lately that they dont know that about me, and church is a big part of my life. God matters to me.
so yes, I was brave today.

I did that too. I have to at least be a Christian until I learn the gospel. Or maybe you can talk about things from a Christian point of view. Then the lines are drawn. You can see who your friends are and who cares if you are a Christian or not.
