A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 200,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

Welcome to Warm Fuzzy Wednesday at the Finest. For those who start counting the days on Monday until the weekend, we're halfway there! So we're here to banish those doldrums and make you smile inside! Please feel free to post sweet graphics and/or little stories that make you feel all warm and fuzzy - or just come by and give us a smile. Only two more days 'til the weekend!

Lord, We thank You for those who are serving in our armed forces. Each day they are making brave sacrifices so that our country can remain strong and free. Keep them safe under the shelter of Your wings. And Lord, for their families back home——whose loving support enables our armed forces, to do all that they are called on to do——we ask that You comfort them and give them Your peace...the peace that passes all understanding. Amen


Below are names of some of our FReepers' loved ones who are serving our country. If you have someone you would like to add, please address a post to
Billie; Dutchess; DollyCali; JustAmy; The Mayor; GodBlessUSA,
and we will add their name to this list. As we pray for them, we pray also for all our nation’s leaders, and military personnel, and their families and friends. May God hold them close to His heart. Amen

On The Winning Side

ODB RADIO: Listen Now | Download

READ: Colossians 2:6-15

Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them. —Colossians 2:15

Few today believe the pagan idea that the world is under the control of warring gods like Artemis, Pan, and Apollo. Yet even sophisticated skeptics readily acknowledge the reality of "forces" over which we have no control. For example, they attribute our inability to prevent violence in various places around the world to what they vaguely call "international forces." And they speak of "economic forces" beyond our control. For example, millions of people are starving despite the fact that there is more than enough food in the world to provide for every person on the earth.

The Bible clearly acknowledges the presence of invisible but very real spiritual beings, or powers. In Ephesians 6:11-12, Paul declared that our primary warfare is against an army of rebellious angels headed by Satan. The bad news is that they are more intelligent and powerful than we are. The good news is that Jesus defeated them by His death on the cross: "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them" (Col. 2:15).

There are many things beyond our control, but we need not fear. We who have placed our trust in Jesus are on the winning side. 

Lamb of God! You now are seated
High upon Your Father’s throne,
All Your gracious work completed,
All Your mighty victory known.  —Anon.

Satan may win some battles, but he cannot win the war.

Bible in One Year:   Isaiah 34-36; Colossians 2

Welcome to the Finest TMSuchman! I went to your profile page & it seems like you are in good company here, We have MANY former military (both men & women); some here with disabilities & some here with challenged children.. I'll bet you aren't that mean. Most marines are gruff but are teddy bears when they want to be!

Thanks for the word today Rus.. and HELLO to all the Finest friends

Cooler/falllike here. I was out already & a quick stop back (forgot something.. duh) & back out w/John & his dogs for dogie walk.

On monday wore bathing suit & was swimming in river with dogs (close to 90 degrees) now it is about 50 (if that)

[ConorMacNessa]
