  • 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

At my work place we have a fair amount of young women in their mid twenties. In my section they have been a lot of contentious issues which have caused a lot of confusion and animosity.

I always try to diffuse the situation. A few weeks ago there was a real disgusting scene. I realise something must be done.

I decided to pray for peace in the office..and there it was this week the office was as peaceful as a new born babe. Everyone was talking and on very good terms with each other. I believed if I had taken sides the conflict would have continued. I started to reflect on the scripture s
which states that without peace we cannot see God.

I admire your way of conduct! ;)

May the Lord bless your office!

Excellent Contented! I work with the public, and even more difficult with those who are on a type of public assistance. I find that I have to employ to "pray without ceasing" to be able to make good decisions in a instant. Clients are often irritated downright mean, angry, and rude. Praise God, He has enabled me to be able to defuse such situation so far. it is not easy.........
