  • 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

    Jobs report recap: US added 130,000 jobs in January, beating expectations

    Or perhaps the USA understates inflation in how they measure it?

    Jobs report recap: US added 130,000 jobs in January, beating expectations

    Hopefully those numbers are not revised down like much of 2025 was. Most might like too that Federal employment has been driven down substantially over Trump's first year.

    both my sister and parents have forgiven me so why do i still have to suffer a harsh punishment ? advice please ?

    Seems too lenient to me. If you were an adult you would be locked up in prison for false imprisonment and or child neglect. Your sister could also sue, and or your parents could be investigated by child protective services. What if there was a fire and she died? You would be charged with...

    Nuclear Safety rules secretly loosened in Trump's rush to build reactors; DOE required to approve at least three reactors; NRC out of loop

    Here is a another source from nuclear scientists. I imagine skipping safety steps will cost these companies more in the long run and even one serious accident will setback nuclear power for decades. Trump just assaulted the independence of the nuclear regulator. What could go wrong?

    lonely alcoholic

    Thanks for sharing your struggles. Sorry you seem stuck in a bad situation but alot of times we reach what seem like a dead end. What often is occurring is that God wants to show you a new road, perhaps one you have not been looking at? Whatever the obstacle to be removed or the path to pursue...

    Making time for God

    Try the prayers in Eph 1 and Eph 3 to pray for yourself and others. Many find those quite good.

    Alabama mulls bill to make disrupting church services a felony

    I sure love it when God interrupts a church service. As to protesters I think a dialogue is better than arrest. A felony seems a bit harsh too. If they are asked to leave ad don't I would think trespassing charges would apply.

    What Jamie Raskin saw in the unredacted Epstein files. Raskin: Trump in files "more than a million times."

    Yes, but he did hang around some unsavory people. You are right though. I doubt anyone in the Epstein files was there to evangelize.

    Large areas of agreement do exist between Bible Sabbath keeping groups and Sunday groups

    Seems like most churches allow remarriage for about any reason.

    Yes, unless they are born again and being a good witness.

    Every church in America needs armed security

    There are some churches where those visitors might fall down under the power of God. I think that would be great. Pulling weapons is a bad idea on protestors though unless there is a danger of death.

    Making time for God

    I can remember sacrificing my time with God for work. I survived but did not really thrive. Some say you don't have time not to pray. How can that be? Because that prayer smooths a lot of road. That you recognize the issue is great. I pray that God really just blesses you giving you the rest and...
