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!

God's Delight

Read: 1 Timothy 1:12-17

When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them. —Matthew 9:36

Bible In One Year: Job 32-34

---

A Scottish preacher spoke of evangelism as a fellowship of reconciled, forgiven sinners who don't simply preach but live out their faith. They also offer to others the same reconciliation and forgiveness they have received from God.

The apostle Paul expressed the same conviction: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief" (1 Timothy 1:15). Once a blasphemer and persecutor of Christians, Paul believed that God's mercy was shown to him, the worst of sinners, as an example to other sinners who would later believe on Christ (v.16).

Whenever we testify that God has forgiven us and provided eternal life through faith in Christ, we're declaring that God is a saving God. Yet, when we observe destructive lifestyles among people, it's easy to write them off. Instead, we should look at them as Christ does. "When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them" (Matthew 9:36).

Jesus said He came not to condemn the world but to save it (John 3:17). Rather than condemning people, we should say, "Who am I to condemn others, when God has forgiven me so generously?" God delights to use forgiven sinners to reach other sinners. —Joanie Yoder

Love is giving for the world's needs,
Love is sharing as the Lord leads,
Love is caring when the world cries,
Love is compassion with Christlike eyes. —Brandt

To love sinners is to be like Jesus.

Good morning...hurry back Miss Maggie.

[Billie]

Good morning, Dog. Nice seeing you here today. Did you go to the Inauguration? Mama_Bear and JustAmy will be posting *their* report and pictures here tomorrow!

[Billie]

Good morning, Rus. Thank you for today's devotional.....and the coffee, of course, to help wake us up!

[Billie]

Hi, Gail - she's really been having a rough time, and we just wanted her to know we're thinking of her and miss her.

[MoJo2001]

BTTT!

[dansangel]

Beautiful....what a wonderful tribute to a loyal, loving and steadfast member of the Finest family ((((((Billie))))).

((((((LadyX)))))) - please know that you have found a permanent place in my daily prayers where you've resided since I had the pleasure of meeting you here.

Your devotion to our Lord is inspirational. Your stories are always interesting and full of *panache* - as are you.

Be well my Finest FRiend and may God continue to bless you and your family abundantly.

Love and Hugs,
dansy and .45MAN

[dansangel]

Just noticed our Wolfie's byline on the thread, as well. Should have known he had a hand in it. :-)

Thanks to *you* too (((((Louie_Wolfie_Man)))))) for this lovely tribute to a very lovely Lady.

[MoJo2001]

PING EVERYBODY!
Come and say "HELLO"!

I'm not sure if you know this, but on Monday's the FReeper's Finest honors our Troops with their very own thread done by The Mayor. I'm sure most of you have NEVER ever seen The Mayor. I'm sure you've NEVER ever enjoyed his morning coffee or hot chocolate. Did I mention that he happens to be at the Canteen every now and again. Hehe!

Also, you'll find friendly people that are less neurotic! So? There is plenty of time to corrupt them. Hehe! (Just kidding!)

If you'd like to share some music, that's great as well, Please don't play any rap music. I'm thinking they could do without it. Hehe!

Okay, so DBR and I are the only ones that ever play it.

P.S Have you ever wondered what LUV W does when she's not in the Canteen? You'll find her over here!! Come see what she's doing.
