  • 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

    Christian Leaders Denounce President Trump’s Rob Reiner Comments as ‘Vile’ and ‘Shameful’

    The bar is incredibly low when Christians are arguing about whether posts that are clearly devoid of forbearance, kindness, gentleness and self control and instead showing hatred and rage which is directed at someone who has been killed are OK. Regardless of the reasoning, that runs totally...

    Skillet’s John Cooper Responds to Criticism New Chart-Topping Christmas Song Is ‘Demonic’

    That is the "concern". The first couple of minutes of the song are very true musically to the traditional version. Then the song moves into a very heavy breakdown, with the last 2 segments you show being sung in a heavy style. It then shifts back to more traditional music and finishes with " O...

    Karoline Leavitt dismisses 'Christian nationalism' concerns amid Trump's prayer push

    His urging people to attend prayer groups isn't Christian Nationalism. Elected officials aren't supposed to pretend that faith doesn't exist and that they don't have faith. Faith has a place in the square of public debate and that isn't Christian Nationalism. Believing that Christians should...

    Trump goes after mail-in voting and election machines; "States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government", must do what President says

    Agreed. It's quite a quandary also, as starting a new viable party is next to impossible given the stranglehold the Dems and GOP have on the election process and turning the GOP back towards being conservative looks very unlikely in the near term. So we are left with, well, the left or a poorly...

    Trump goes after mail-in voting and election machines; "States are merely an “agent” for the Federal Government", must do what President says

    It's populist, which is a bit ironic given populism normally represents the common citizens against a self-serving elitist ruling class. In this case, MAGA has done a really good job of convincing the voters that both parties were that corrupt self-serving class, and only a very rich narcissist...

    Johnson Amendment Dead: IRS says church leaders can endorse candidates to their flock without risking tax-exempt status. Other 501c3's still can't.

    This is how I understand it as well. As you mentioned, they rarely penalized churches who endorsed candidates before. It's been a couple of decades since I looked deeply into this subject, but at the time it generally had been enforced on churches which had other concerning issues for the IRS as...

    Johnson Amendment Dead: IRS says church leaders can endorse candidates to their flock without risking tax-exempt status. Other 501c3's still can't.

    From a constitutional standpoint, I understand the reasoning behind saying churches "can" endorse candidates to their congregation. That "can" though is not based on theology but based on the non-religious implementation of governing documents. Though churches "can" now endorse candidates, it...

    Do any of you follow MAGA theology?

    Loren Cunningham and Bill Bright claim the seven mountain mandate was given to them in 1975. I'm not sure when it actually broke out in the New Apostolic Reformation, but the underpinnings have been out there since the 1990s at least.

    All That Matters by Skillet

    I will listen to it later; thank you for sharing. Musically I feel like Skillet has declined a lot over the past 10 years. Their prior single “unpopular” didn’t help my opinion of that (YMMV). I would welcome hearing something by them I enjoy again.

    Smartwatch versus traditional watch?

    I strongly prefer the aesthetics of a traditional watch. However, I pretty much always wear a Garmin smartwatch. Why? Because the health and fitness data is incredibly important to me as I work to stay healthy and running races competitive in my 60s. My nice traditional watch typically only gets...

    Trump Campaign Staff had Altercation with Official at Arlington National Cemetery

    Trump has no respect for the military or for us veterans. His own comments and actions have made that clear. I am totally not surprised by his actions here or his attempts to recreate and alternate reality of what happened. He only uses the military where it can help him politically.

    Who was your first vote when reaching the legal voting age? How has politics changed since then?

    Ronald Reagan. Biggest change is we no longer have a conservative party.
