  • 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.

    Church Business or Operational Meetings on Sundays?

    Hey folks, I'm hoping to get some biblical insight or Spirit-led wisdom regarding business meetings on Sundays. I don't know if I am being fleshly or if I'm just overthinking it but I'm hoping to get some counsel (Prov 19:20). We are a relatively small church of 120. With the exception of the...

    Keeping your youth in the faith even after they graduate from high school

    It seems like too many youth drop out of church and/or don't hold their relationship with the Lord in as high esteem once they leave high school. What are you who work with youth doing to ensure their faith is dyanmic and growing even after they leave your group? I have often wondered if youth...
