  • 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.

    Is gambling on stocks sinful?

    By buying stocks you become a part-owner of a business. That business may do well or very poorly. That's the nature of business. For me, it is no different then opening a private ownership. You may do well or you may fail but that is not the kind of gambling that Christians frown upon. Now...

    Christian Music Icon Sandi Patty Calls on President Trump To Apologize to ‘America, Especially Black America’
