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 100,000 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, or a profile of another FReeper.

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

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Top SIX Reasons I Don't Have
a Really Neat Post For Today
(Sorry, couldn't come up with 10 this time.)

 6.  I've been busy photographing my new puppy.


 5.  I've been learning how to make pickles....(really, I have).


 4.  I've been practicing my writing skills in hopes that someday I might be as Fine a writer as JH2! (It will never happen, but it is a goal worth working towards!).



 3.  I've been busy researching how I can become a New York citizen just long enough to vote for my cuzzin, The Mayor. (Hey, if Hillary, from Arkansas, can become a New York Senator, I figure MamaBear, from California, should be able to become a New York voter - for a day!)


 2.  I am still trying to make the perfect pineapple pie for our wolfie. :-)


 1. And, the number one reason I have nothing to post today is because.........(drum roll.....)......I have been working my fuzzy paws to a nub polishing silver and crystal and laying out this fabulous "Finest Buffet" for your enjoyment!

Okay, some of these things didn't happen
(but they could have!) ;-)

My Sin

Read:
Genesis 3:1-6

When desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. —James 1:15

Bible In One Year: 2 Chronicles 23-25

Eve explained the rules to the tempter. She and Adam could eat the fruit of any tree in the Garden of Eden, except for the special one in the middle. Just touching it, she said, would bring death.

I can imagine Satan throwing back his head and with mocking laughter saying, "You will not surely die" (Genesis 3:4). He then suggested that God was holding back something good from her (v.5).

For thousands of years the enemy has repeated that strategy. He doesn't care if you believe in the authority of the Bible, as long as he can get you to disbelieve that the one thing standing between you and God is sin.

"You will not surely die," we are told. That is the theme of so many modern novels. The hero and heroine live in disobedience to God but suffer no consequences. In TV shows and movies the characters rebel against the moral laws of God but live happily ever after.

There is even a perfume called "My Sin." It's a fragrance "so alluring, so charming, so exciting," the ads tell us, "we could only call it 'My Sin.'" You would never guess that sin is a stench in the nostrils of God.

In the temptations you face, will you believe Satan's lie? Or will you obey God's warning? —Haddon Robinson

Personal Reflection
How has sin damaged the lives of people I know?
How has disobedience to God harmed me?
Have I experienced God's forgiveness? (1 John 1:9-10).

One bite of sin leaves a bitter aftertaste.
