  • 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

    my mum said god teaches through punishment, i was punished with a 4 hour 30 minute saturday detenion do you think i deserved it ?

    Let's say you've gotten a job and your supervision gives you a task that you really do not want to do. This thing is awful, puts you in isolation and will require a long time - perhaps a day or two. You are sure that the employee that started with the company a couple of days ago is much...

    When our children were your age, we took whatever they treasured most for several weeks or they were put on restrictions meaning they could not go out with their friends for usually a month. Plus if they moaned and complained, time was added.

    John Piper on whether raising hands in worship is 'showing off'

    We're so easily offended. I've witnessed a tear causing an uproar. All we have to do is look at Scripture and in numerous places it says "So will I bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name." Psa 63:4.

    Prayer for fear

    Is S a follower of Jesus? If so, it would be good for her to say some of her favorite Scriptures and include some - My reverent fear of God is my confidence and the integrity and uprighteousness of my ways and my hope - based on Job 4:6 Also, as Unqualified stated, I would ramp up my praises...

    Recipes using inexpensive items

    Cellars are out of the question for us. I tried storing potatoes several ways; i.e., placed on a wire shelf, in a paper bag and in a cardboard box filled with shredded paper. The first ones to get soft were on the shelf while the ones in the paper bag lasted 2.5 mon before getting eyes...

    Oooffff...I am in pain...

    When I was a teen, we were advised to sweep floors. After decades, just asks Ai & the response was it works. You could check out medical resources. Might be worth a try. But we know God is our healer & hears our prayers.
