  • 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

The server storms we have in winter serves in some respect a very important purpose.
The sap of shrubs and trees takes refuge in the roots, therefore giving them a time to rest and recuperate.
The covering of snow which is spread over the earth protects the grass and the grain, and keeps all things which grow out of the ground snug and warm. And the nipping frost kills off hordes of insects; dries up the seeds of infectious and deadly diseases; and it also improves the blood on which our existence depends; and gives new vigor to the worn out and wasted system,
Winter, besides being a useful season, is certainly a very beautiful one. We see such beauty as the snow covers the earth, and the frost draws such fantastic pictures on our window panes. What could be more beautiful than these?
The goodness of our Father is discovered in the provisions which he makes for the lower orders of creation to protect them from the rigors of winter .
The birds that are more delicate than others are instructed by their instincts to fly off to warmer weather.
The creatures which remain behind need not go to clothing stores for coats!
The fur and hair, and feathers on their bodies, are made abundantly warm to protect them; and the colder the winter which is approaching, the better does their gracious Creator provide for them. Doc
