  • 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

John 15:3
"You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Out thoughts get twisted when we try to understand the character of God. It's hard to believe and except unconditional because our thoughts are subject to our past experiences and our conscience is filthy with guilt and condemnation.

Jesus came to show us the heart of the Father. If we can truly believe the characted of the Father what Jesus revealed it will wash us. It will change us. It will move us to be like Him.

Rom 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

If we believe in our heart we will be saved from the effects that sin had on our heart because it's the belief that has the power to cleanse us and change us.

There was a town that Jesus went to once where He could do no miracles because they did not believe. Belief empowers the word in our hearts.
