Thanksgiving: Are You Thankful That God Has Provided Free Republic?
It's a simple question. It can be answered immediately with a yes or a no.
If yes, then let me encourage you to support this site that offers you a chance to have your say unhindered by the establishment trolls found on most other websites.
Why thankful to God?
Of course, we're thankful first for His providing us with salvation, with abundant blessings, with families, with freedom to practice our faith.
But, you know, and I know that Free Republic does not infringe on any of those blessings but actually enhances them. This is a pro-God, pro-small government website.
So, my friends, it is Thanksgiving and we're thankful for so much, and that includes thankfulness for Free Republic. If we weren't, we wouldn't be posting and debating day after day to influence the direction of this country, so that those blessings of liberty remain for us and our posterity.
That fight must extend to preserving your voice here on Free Republic, because that voice gets heard in the larger world. Free Republic is REGULARLY cited, or obviously heeded, by movers and shakers in media, politics, business, and the military.
Did you know that Free Republic stays advertisement free because it is supported by the donations of its users and not by advertisements sold to corporations who would then try to influence what gets said here and allowed here? Your donation is what makes this site available.
Will you fight to preserve that voice you've been provided by Free Republic? Are you that thankful?
If so, then send a donation to Free Republic today. Don't delay. Send it now. Every $5 adds up. The result will be the preservation of your voice continuing to be heard around the world.
Psalm 107:1 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever!"
I think Jim had a hand in it too...
but he was clearly on a mission from God.
Yes.
Absolutely!
Jim’s work was God-directed for just this time. It’s a humbling thought.
Of course I’m thankful for FR, but I attribute it to Jim more than to God. That way I don’t get angry at God over allowing Humblegunner’s absurd and counterproductive behavior.
Then donate if you haven’t already
Wow.
Nice choice of a thread to be slamming someone.
Your comment reminds me of a story, at least good for a thread bump.
God Will Save Me
http://epistle.us/inspiration/godwillsaveme.html
A terrible storm came into a town and local officials sent out an emergency warning that the riverbanks would soon overflow and flood the nearby homes. They ordered everyone in the town to evacuate immediately.
A faithful Christian man heard the warning and decided to stay, saying to himself, “I will trust God and if I am in danger, then God will send a divine miracle to save me.”
The neighbors came by his house and said to him, “We're leaving and there is room for you in our car, please come with us!” But the man declined. “I have faith that God will save me.”
As the man stood on his porch watching the water rise up the steps, a man in a canoe paddled by and called to him, “Hurry and come into my canoe, the waters are rising quickly!” But the man again said, “No thanks, God will save me.”
The floodwaters rose higher pouring water into his living room and the man had to retreat to the second floor. A police motorboat came by and saw him at the window. “We will come up and rescue you!” they shouted. But the man refused, waving them off saying, “Use your time to save someone else! I have faith that God will save me!”
The flood waters rose higher and higher and the man had to climb up to his rooftop.
A helicopter spotted him and dropped a rope ladder. A rescue officer came down the ladder and pleaded with the man, “Grab my hand and I will pull you up!” But the man STILL refused, folding his arms tightly to his body. “No thank you! God will save me!”
Shortly after, the house broke up and the floodwaters swept the man away and he drowned.
When in Heaven, the man stood before God and asked, “I put all of my faith in You. Why didn't You come and save me?”
And God said, “Son, I sent you a warning. I sent you a car. I sent you a canoe. I sent you a motorboat. I sent you a helicopter. What more were you looking for?”
He sent us a website....why didn’t we support it!?!
Thank you very much, xzins!!
And if I can do it anyone can.
Am thankful that Jim and God have provided Free Republic, now let's finish this FReepathon by Thanksgiving!
.
Yes - Free Republic is a ministry from God. I was a shy lurker for too many years, starting when FR started, member now for a long time.
That’s why I’m a monthly supporter.
I’d encourage all to consider being a monthly supporter - if we had enough, there would be no need for Freepathons!
Thank you very much, hunblegunner!!
All good things come from God. We are simply His instruments.
Thank you very much, jazusamo!!
