In 2008, in defending his current position against same-sex marriage but for civil unions, [President Obama] said concerning people who might find his position controversial, “I would just refer them to the Sermon on the Mount, which I think is, in my mind, for my faith, more central than an obscure passage in Romans.” Two things strike me about this. First, he's not consistent about his application of the golden rule; he's pro-abortion-but of course he doesn't want to be hacked to pieces without anesthesia, which is precisely what certain abortion procedures entail. Second, choosing the golden rule over “an obscure passage in Romans” shows he doesn’t understand that “the entirety of [God's] word is truth” (Ps. 119:160). Both the Golden Rule and the Romans 1 passage are true; it's not a choice between the two. Since he used to give lectures on Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, I doubt that he would ever use the term “an obscure phrase in the Constitution,” because obscurity is about one’s perception of importance, not the actual importance of a matter. To a Constitutional lawyer who respects the document, every phrase of the document is important. To a serious [true] Christ-follower, every word of His scriptures is important.

Mercy Me bus crash leaves two dead

Mercy Me accident leaves two dead

Christian music group, Mercy Me, was involved in a bus crash that left two adults and an unborn baby dead. The tour bus was hit by another vehicle that carried several passengers, one including a pregnant woman. All passengers of the Mercy Me tour bus survived without injuries. Unfortunately, the passengers in the other vehicle, including the unborn baby did not survive the accident. Mercy Me posted a message on their website, asking people to pray for the victims' families. It reads, "Please join us in praying for the families of the car that hit our bus last night. Our hearts break for their families."

The accident occurred at approximately 1:15 a.m. early Saturday morning in northeastern Indiana.

 

Mercy Me posted updates or tweets on their Twitter page after the accident occurred.  The first tweet reads RT: @bartmillard: Car just hit our tour bus. We are ok, but 2 in the car did not make it. The one that did is pregnant. Please start praying

The second tweet reads Still in Ft Wayne. Trying to get trailer & bus drivable. Sorry STL peeps the show tonight has been rescheduled for Sept5 (via @robbyshaffer)
