Religious people cannot tolerate the breaking of their regulations. Any violation of their religious regulations will stir up persecution. When Jesus broke the Sabbath, the Jewish religionists persecuted Him and even sought to kill Him. Eventually, religion succeeded in sentencing Jesus to death. In the book of Acts we see that the situation was the same regarding the persecution of the apostles.
In like manner, a great many martyrs have suffered persecution at the hand of religion. Now it is our turn to undergo this persecution, this suffering for the building up of the Body of Christ.

My dad often admonished, 'what you do speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.' Now, I know where he got it....
No, not quite exactly. 2 is binary, the number 10 used in the original quote technically means decimal.
Guess I was being technical
- unary
- binary
- ternary
- quarternary
- etc
That was sort of the point of the joke. It was not the number ten. It was the number 1 and the number 0.
It goes like this:
0 - 000
1 - 001
2 - 010
3 - 011
4 - 100
5 - 101
6 - 110
7 - 111
etc.
Computers use binary because it can be represented by electronic logic gates that can only be on or off and thus only 0 and 1.

Thank God for the tough spots He put you in. That is where He is getting His love through you to the unlovely, and to people who harm you. That is how Christ lived on earth, expressing the love of God to those who criticized and hated Him; and that is how Christ now lives in us, expressing the same love through us. He has put us among difficult people, so that His supernatural love may be seen by them. So praise the Lord for every tough spot you are in. It is not God's will to deliver us from tough spots, but in them. There is no other way of getting at those who do not know Him except by those who do living among them.

God. Therefore, there is nothing that comes our way that is not an instrument of God in our lives. He is the Master Workman, and we are His Master-pieces."

"God is love" (I John 4:16).
To learn how to love – is to learn how to live. The lesson is a long one - but it is the great business of life. The Master not only taught the lesson in words – but also set it down for us in a life – His own life. To follow Christ is to practice this great lesson, learning more of it day by day – until school is out.
Divine love has to be learned. There is natural affection which does not need to be learned – the love of parents for children, of children for parents, of friend for friend; but it is not natural to love our enemies, to love unlovable people, to be unselfish, to return kindness for unkindness. We have to learn this love – and it is the great business of life.
"Beloved, since God so loved us - we also ought to love one another" (I John 4:11).
