• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

hello I am a follower of Christ. I believe that Christian should answer truthfully. If we are giving advice it should be Biblical. I am involved in Prison ministries. I believe that life with Jesus is about Fresh Starts Second Chances. God forgive me and I have to forgive others. I believe there are many in jail who should not be or that have received harsher sentences than they deserve. I feel that we need to make it easier for people with records to reintegrate into society. They have done their time and deserve a Fresh Start, a Second Chance
I am a disable veteran and understand what it is like to fight with the VA for benefits or medical care.
I love Patsy Clairmont she has been an inspiration to me. After hearing her, I found my way back to life. After all, Christ died for us to have life abundantly

Welcome to CF. One of my previous pastors found prison ministry very rewarding, and I am certain it is very much needed.
Forgiveness is an important part of Christianity, agreed.
Matthew 6:14

I hope you find encouragement and fellowship here on Christian Forums.
Thank you for your service. I am sorry you have to fight for your VA benefits.

Hello @Susanv1994, WELCOME TO CF :wave:

I'm sorry to hear about the struggles you're having getting proper care from the VA :(

Thank you for your service, and for being a blessing to all of us, as well for being a special blessing to those you are helping in prison.

God bless you! (Numbers 6:24-26)

--David
p.s. - I've been blessed over the years by the ministries of Missionaries Elisabeth Elliot and Amy Carmichael (one of Elisabeth Elliot's quotes is below in my signature line, in fact), but I'd never heard of Patsy Clairmont before, so thank you for mentioning her in your OP :)

Thank you for your service. Have you been able to resolve your VA claims?

I found finding the right advocate is hit or miss. In Texas, the Texas Veterans Commission finally sorted my mess out nicely.
