The Good And The Bad

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Nahum 1:1-8

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. —Nahum 1:7

Nineveh was in trouble with God.  Big trouble! Despite the good work of the reluctant prophet Jonah, Nineveh had returned to its evil ways. The Ninevites had oppressed other countries, worshiped idols, and performed acts of cruelty.

God saw this evil, and through the words of Nahum He spoke of Nineveh’s coming destruction, using words such as wrath and vengeance. Nineveh was about to face judgment.

Why would God’s prophet tell the people of Judah about this? How could Nahum’s frightening words help those who lived in the Promised Land?

There is help for answering those questions in Nahum 1:7-8. His prophecy of the destruction of those who reject God stands in sharp contrast to God’s promise to those “who trust in Him.” The godly, rather than facing judgment, would be cared for. They would have a refuge in Him.

God is not one-sided. He provides refuge, help, and comfort for those who trust Him, and He also sends judgment against those who disobey His standards.

The message for us is the same as it was for Judah. Through trust and obedience, we can enjoy the comfort of God’s refuge—even in times of trouble. —Dave Branon

How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,
I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;
How often, when trials like sea billows roll,
Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul.  —Cushing

Everyone must face God as Savior or as Judge.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year;   Ecclesiastes 7-9; 2 Corinthians 13

Good morning Billie,


Value of pictures being equal to thousand words, I'll drag out some good ones -





Things that offend moderate radical muslims














Keep pressing fools,
in the end,
you'll learn what
these words mean
"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

[stopem]

Good Morning!

Don't even get me going on all this.
Infuriating!

GREAT JOB SISTAH BILLIE ON PRESENTING JOHN'S REMARKABLE ESSAY! Sending the link to my friends who enjoy political satire..

[Anne of DC]

Another great one from JH2 as usual! :o)

But I have a rant about what is going on with all this bruhaha abot Senator Allen's ancestry.

I'm not from Virginia but Sen. Allen, if he can be convinced to, will probably run for president in 2008.

I am not Jewish nor of Jewish ancestry but I really don't think that what ever my ancestors were should have ne bearing on what I am today.

Let me explain

The media and the libs are having a field day over the fact that Sen Allen was of Jewish ancestry on his mother's side. They crow with glee because Allen never disclosed this fact, totally ignoring the fact that he never knew about it til a few days ago himself.

But, even so, what has that got to do with his performance as a senator or even if he were to become president?

How come they are all bent out of shape over his ancestry?

What differance does it make?

This has me seething becaus, as a genealogist, I find that it is my ancestory who have contributed to what and where I am today, the goes for Senator Allen.

So I wish these idiots would just get over the fact that they don't know every thing. and get a life.

BTW, I'm a Catholic of German ancestry and I have nothing but the utmost respect for the Jewish people.

I remember Our Lord was of that people.

End of rant

To respond to your last 4 questions...yes, yes, yes & yes...

on our threads we get a one line note & the pookie logo ~~~ Billie gets the pick of the litter of the toons? Huh, Huh???? HUH!!! curious minds want to know?

I know that Billie doesn't look at the current version of Today's Toons prior to posting. For her, the stars were properly aligned today: The subject of John's esaay happened to correspond with the majority of items in my post today...so, I sent 'em along...

Thanks for the link

Hey, does this mean I sounded like The Great One?

YEAH!

[pookie18]

Well, it's hard to hear your tone on the printed page, but great minds... ;-)

[DollyCali]

I was just a kiddin' you sweetie.. we are always glad for ANYONE to add whatever to our threads that has relevance. and sometimes even if it doesn't have relevance.

and yes, I do comb the toons daily & save a LOT & email a lot.. I think when I started using them here, others were a bit surprised as the graphics used from JH@ were relevant photos with maybe some photo-shopping..

Humorist of sorts that I am, I felt the toons were a natural &: all others now concur.

Good golf day here but I have other agenda plans.. no biking or kayaking either. bummer.

Thanks for your magnificent contributon to FRee Republic with the poly-toons that we all enjoy personally & can use in a multitude of ways.

[Anne of DC]

:o)

BTW I did listen to his show last night.

[pookie18]

I knew you were (semi-) kidding ;-) The toon threads are my pleasure, as always, DC!

[pookie18]

I hear ~90% of his shows...was on the air with him once ~ 3 mos. prior to becoming a FReeper.

[Anne of DC]

What was he like to talk to?
