Zondervan invites 31,173 people from across the country to help handwrite the Bible through the Bible Across America project.
Such brief but powerful thoughts:
When he takes the throne of his kingdom, he is to write for himself on a scroll a copy of this law, taken from that of the priests, who are Levities. It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees and not consider himself better than his brothers and turn from the law to the right or to the left. [Deut. 17:18-20]
Wouldn't it be good for the leader of our land to take the time to write out the scripture and contemplate it as he takes office? What if instead of just placing his hand on the Lincoln Bible to be sworn in, President Obama had written out the 13th Chapter of Corinthians or the opening to Genesis? How powerful would that have been? Do Presidents know about this passage? What passage would you have President Obama write out in his own hand? Unfortunately, if he'd done this, an industry would have sprung up immediately to emblazon decorative plates, t-shirts and beer koozies with the Obama verses. Oh, well.
Hey, here's a "kustom" wedding beer koozie. So the official koozie emblazoned with the Obama Inaugural Verses isn't so crazy.
"Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong. When you give testimony in a lawsuit, do not pervert justice by siding with the crowd." [Ex. 23:2]
Standing against the crowd is such a lonely a place to be. Even so, you do not stand alone when you stand for the right.
