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!

Welcome to TGIF at the Finest!   We hope you've been having as much fun as we have with our essays and/or spotlight on various FReepers. From the beginning, we've been kicking back on Saturdays and Sundays and simply reviewing the features of the week; our weekend threads now start on Friday and continue through Sunday. If you missed seeing any of this week's threads and want to say hello there now, just click on the link for that particular day. If you'd like to drop in and out of this thread today through Sunday, please feel free to do that also. One of us will try to be around to see the welcome mat is still out, put the coffee pot on, and maybe even bring fresh flowers for the table. : )

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. --John 10:10

Two Realms

Read: John 10:1-18

The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. --John 10:10

Bible In One Year: Judges 16-18; Luke 7:1-30

---

How sad it is when a family watches a child walk away from the faith in which he or she grew up. And worst of all is to see sadness replace the joy that child once had.

One woman saw her daughter go from loving and trusting God to a life of sin and rebellion--but then back to the joy of a walk with Jesus. The daughter's sad, empty expressions during her time of running from God changed to an open, joyful happiness when she returned to fellowship with Him. The mother said the difference was like turning on a light that dispelled the darkness.

In John 10:10, we read of the contrast between the joy of life with Jesus and the anxiety of life in the realm of Satan. He comes deceptively as an "angel of light"

(2 Corinthians 11:14), but he wants to ruin us. He is described as a thief who steals, kills, and destroys. But Jesus is presented as the One who gives life--abundant life.

These two realms are constantly in a battle for our hearts. We have this choice: the light of life with Jesus or the depths of darkness in the devil's lair. Life or death? Light or darkness? Contentment or anxiety? Both realms beckon us.

Whom will you choose to trust with your life? The thief or the Savior? --Dave Branon

The devil is subtle, deceptive, and sly--
He's clever and tricks us to swallow his lie;
But his cunning methods we're sure to discern
If we make God's warnings our daily concern. --D. De Haan

God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

Good morning to everyone at the FINEST!

[Aquamarine]

Love the way you designed this pledge. Brilliant!

Heard a woman on Hannity's radio show the other day say that she was talking to her little boy about the case before the Supreme Court to decide whether to take God out of the pledge...her little boy said he hoped they didn't take God out that he would miss Him.

[Billie]

Morning, here's a little buffet for you to snack on, along with Rus' and Gail's coffee:

[Billie]

Russ, what a lovely pic of the Thin Man!

What a friendly guy, too!

That's an imposter - we know the Thin Man's not friendly. :)

[Billie]

Love the way you designed this pledge.

Thanks, Aqua - and thanks to Gail (and to Cal some time ago) for originally posting the pic.

That is so sweet what the little boy said about missing God if they are forced to take Him out of the pledge.
