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!

Storm Before The Calm

READ: Matthew 6:9-15

If you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. —Matthew 6:14

The small church was struggling, and everyone knew why. Two elderly church members had a conflict, and the people had divided their loyalties between them, which made any kind of progress impossible. They blatantly disregarded Jesus’ instructions on forgiving others (Matthew 6:14).

A new pastor came to the church and spent several weeks teaching about forgiveness and trust. For a while, the people stuck to their divided loyalties and continued to slog along in their stagnant pool of distrust.

After much prayer, the pastor felt directed by the Lord to take action. So during a morning service, he called on the two men to stand and then asked them to forgive each other. He knew that if the church were ever to have peace again, a storm of confrontation had to occur. The men faced off, paused, and then embraced. Tears ran down their faces as each begged the other for forgiveness. Forty-five minutes later, the crying and hugging and forgiving throughout the congregation finally stopped. The church was revitalized to serve together as a loving community for the glory of God.

Forgiveness is a powerful thing, bringing a comforting calmness. With it, we can enjoy harmony with God’s people; without it, the storm continues. Dave Branon

For Further Study
Read Matthew 18:15-20 for guidelines in dealing with conflict.
Also check out Developing The Art Of Gracious Disagreement

Forgiveness is Christianity in action.

Bible in One Year: Bible in One Year:   Psalms 77-78; Romans 10

Quick computer image question? Anyone?


If you take an image from google, without saving it to your images and you post it, is that stealing bandwidth? I wouldn't want to do that. Forgive my ignorance but if it isn't stealing bandwidth, it will be a lot easier. I have too many images as it is. LOL Thanks to anyone who answers. :)

I don't know the answer to that for sure.. but I think that it is where you post that it is used. If it is already at the site in storage and someone uses it, broadband wouldn't be used.. but the server might be taxed.

Maybe someone with more knowledge can help.

Morning all.. very busy day here, just a quick hello. Going to take a break later w/friend & do a doggie walk later. Might have a warm fuzzy pix or two

Thanks Dolly :)
I kind of thought it is a bandwidth issue. I wouldn't want to do that to someone. You have a wonderful day! I'm off to go swimming. Then we will do a doggie walk. :) The weather is so perfect today. :)
