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!
~ Billie, Mama_Bear, dansangel, dutchess, and Aquamarine ~

To Our FReeper FRiends: We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. We thought we'd kick back on the weekends and simply review the features of the week. If you missed seeing them and want to say hello there now, feel free to click on the link to that particular thread. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today and tomorrow, please feel free to do that also. One of us will always be around to see the welcome mat is still out, and maybe even put fresh flowers on the table. ~ Billie

Morning, waiting for todays thread..

Peace With God
Romans 5:1-2

When you talk about your salvation, how many times do you use the word “I”? You might say, “When I came to Christ . . .” or “When I asked Jesus into my heart . . .” for example. Or, depending on your church tradition, you may recall, “When I walked down the aisle in church that day . . .” Of course, since you are reciting your own testimony, there is nothing explicitly wrong with these statements. However, you should stop for a moment and consider the emphasis you place on yourself rather than on God.

Phrases like those mentioned above can give a false impression. In a sense, they lead people to believe that your salvation experience was a type of “meeting in the middle,” whereby you met God halfway. In this scenario, both you and God played equal parts; He did His job and you did your job, with the result being your salvation.

What a tragic lie this is! God did not leave His saving work unfinished, and He did not stop halfway. You see, Christ was not standing at some distant point, waiting for you to catch up to Him. Rather, He was at your side, moment by moment, just waiting for you to see Him.

Your salvation was God’s work, God’s desire, and God’s initiative. He brought eternal life with Him; everything you would ever need was delivered neatly at your feet. When you tell others about Him, be sure to keep the focus where it should be: on Christ, the architect, instigator, workman, and deliverer of your redemption.

Thank you for welcoming me. Your prayers are much appreciated, I agree it is an honor to pray for others and a favor I will gladly return.

I'm sorry for the delay in replying to you, my PC has been very uncooperative since Friday.

Blessings to you.
