...And I WILL Make you..[answer?]
Follow Him and You WILL not remain silent. How we treat others is how we treat Jesus.
The soldiers bowed before Jesus, making fun of him, saying ‘Hail, King of the Jews!’ They spat on Jesus. They began to beat him on the head. Then they led him away to be crucified.” (Mark 15:18-19).
The soldiers’ assignment was simple. Take the Nazarene to the hill and kill him. But they wanted to have some fun first. Strong, armed soldiers encircled an exhausted, nearly dead Galilean carpenter and beat up on him. The beating was commanded. The crucifixion was ordered. But the spitting? Spitting isn’t intended to hurt the body—it can’t. Spitting is intended to degrade the soul, and it does.
Ever done that? Maybe you haven’t spit on anyone, but have you gossiped? Raised your hand in anger? Ever made someone feel bad so you would feel good? Our Lord explained this truth in Matthew 25:40: How we treat others is how we treat Jesus!
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12)

I found this as I was walking by the river at Belper, I managed to dig it out. I've written scripture verses on it as it reminded that the heart without God is a heart of stone. Hard against Him and His word. But God can change a stony heart.
Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
2 Corinthians 3:3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

Day 2 - If I could sum this day up in a word, it would be "women" ~as i shake my head~... One day, I hope I'll get to use this scripture for when I propose. That day wont' be for a while though haha.
"Don't give me any of this newfangled teaching. Just give me the law. If it was good enough for Abraham, it is good enough for me."
"All right, let me then tell you about the faith of your father, Abraham," says Paul.
"If Abraham was made right by the things he did, he would have a reason to brag. But this is not God's view, because the Scripture says, 'Abraham believed God, and God accepted Abrahams faith, and that faith made him right with God'" [Rom 4:2-3]
These words must have stunned the listening Jews. Paul points to Abraham as a prototype of Grace. The Jews upheld Abraham as a man who was blessed BECAUSE of his obedience. Not the case argues Paul.
The first book of the Bible says that Abraham "BELIEVED the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness" [Gen.15:6]
It was faith, not the works, that made him right with God.
Romans 4:2 simply says - Abraham trusted God to set him right, INSTEAD of trying to be right on his own.

Pali Chanting in 2006 and the forthcoming Pali Tipitaka Recitation in 2008.
In 2006, Maha Bodhi Society of India made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the 2550th Buddha Jayanti that marks Sakyamuni Buddha's Birth, Enlightenment and Mahaparinirvana (passing away).
The year-long programme was started from Kolkota, or formerly Calcutta, where Anagarika Dhammapala, the founder of the Society launched and steered the Buddhist revival movement 115 years ago.
A 3-day ‘International Conference on Humanism’ was held from January 7-9 at Science City, Kolkota. The conference saw a huge participation of delegates from all spheres of life.
The Buddha Jayanti celebrations were carried forward through a week-long celebration at Buddhagya from February 13th to 19th, 2006. The Inaugural ceremony was held at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddhagaya. The month-long Tripitaka chanting was also inaugurated at the sacred Maha Bodhi tree in Maha Bodhi Vihara, Buddhagaya. A number of seminars were organized including the International Buddhist Seminar, International Homoeopathic Seminar, Inter-Religious Conference and International Buddhist Cultural programme at Kalchakra Maidan in Buddha Gaya.
Thus, the most historic of all the Maha Bodhi Society acitivities was the revival of Tipitaka's Pali Chanting. The most important practice in the Theravada tradition would now be organised annually during February.
Now that in 2007 the World Tipitaka Edition in Roman script was presented and permaently enshrined in the Maha Bodhi Society Temple, Dhamma Society has made a full support for the forthcoming 2008 Pali Tipitaka Recitation among international lay devotees.

Here is the ESV clamped between the two boards. I was pretty scared of doing this so I tried it out with a different bible first. I wrote the translation on the bindings so I would know which ones was which in process.
I think next time I may use thinner plywood (these are actually pine planks).
In cutting my blade also got gummed up so I had to stop halfway through and clean.
When I took the bible to kinko's the girl behind the counter told me that they could actually cut the binding off fine, so if you want to do this and don't have access to the machinary you could do this. I actually think it is a better idea to let them do it too.
I am offering free artwork with encouraging scripture for anyone who may want it in this uncertain economic time. Take comfort in knowing God cares for you and wants to help.

God, the one and only— I'll wait as long as he says. Everything I hope for comes from Him, so why not? He's solid rock under my feet, breathing room for my soul, An impregnable castle: I'm set for life. (The Message) Ps. 62:5-6

The Stark Contrast in Nineveh and Sodom’s Reaction to Jehovah God’s Warning
What does it mean to be overthrown? In colloquial terms, it means to disappear. But in what way? Who could make an entire city overthrown? It is impossible for man to perform such an act, of course. These people were no fools; as soon as they heard this proclamation, they caught the idea. They knew that it had come from God; they knew that God was going to perform His work; they knew that their wickedness had enraged Jehovah God and brought His anger down upon them, so that they would soon be destroyed along with their city. How did the people of the city behave after listening to Jehovah God’s warning? The Bible describes in specific detail how these people reacted, from their king to the common man. As recorded in the Scriptures: “So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God: yes, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. …”
After hearing Jehovah God’s proclamation, the people of Nineveh displayed an attitude utterly opposite to that of the people of Sodom—the people of Sodom openly opposed God, proceeding from evil to evil, but after hearing these words, the Ninevites did not ignore the matter, nor did they resist; instead they believed God and declared a fast. What does “believed” refer to here? The word itself suggests faith and submission. If we use the Ninevites’ actual behavior to explain this word, it means that they believed God could and would do as He said, and that they were willing to repent. Did the people of Nineveh feel fear in the face of imminent disaster? It was their belief that put fear in their hearts. Well, what can we use to prove the Ninevites’ belief and fear? It is as the Bible says: “and they[a] proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.” This is to say that the Ninevites truly believed, and that from this belief came fear, which then led to fasting and the donning of sackcloth. This is how they showed the beginning of their repentance. In utter contrast to the people of Sodom, not only did the Ninevites not oppose God, they also clearly showed their repentance through their behavior and actions. Of course, this did not only apply to the common people of Nineveh; their king was no exception.
