Number of deaths, refugees increase since Syria’s ceasefire

Syria (MNN) — Syria agreed to a ceasefire nearly two weeks ago. U.N. observers have been in the country for over a week. Yet violence has only escalated. Close to 60 people were killed in clashes on Monday, and a car bomb wounded three in Damascus yesterday. Jeff Palmer with Baptist Global Response says, “The number of refugees, the number of needs in the country, and those pouring out of the country, they’re just constantly growing. Whatever ceasefire, whatever agreements are in place is not slowing down the carnage that’s happening.” Since no one can help with humanitarian aid in Syria, BGR is helping refugees in bordering nations. Needs are growing daily. “We just approved another project of assistance. We’re helping with things like food packages, hygiene projects, clothing, diapers, and baby care.” Their partners are trying to assist thousands physically while witnessing Christ’s peace. Pray for them and help provide aid via our Web site.

Michelle Obama: ‘This President Has Brought Us Out of the Dark and Into the Light’

Michelle Obama made a remarkable claim when talking up her husband, President Barack Obama, at a campaign event earlier today in Nashville, Tennessee.

“I am so in,” Michelle Obama said toward the end of her remarks. “I am going to be working so hard. We have an amazing story to tell. This president has brought us out of the dark and into the light.”

The crowd of nearly 450 folks applauded as the first lady likened her husband to a Jesus-like figure.

In the book of Matthew, we read, “the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.” (Matthew 4:16) The phrase is used to describe the words Jesus preached… Full article here

“Less than a month after receiving a heart transplant, former Vice President Dick Cheney minced no words in his assessment of President Barack Obama: He’s been an “unmitigated disaster.”

“I can’t think of a time when I felt it was more important for us to beat an incumbent president,” Cheney said of the November election. “[Obama] has been an unmitigated disaster for the country… ” More here

Candidatii republicani din SUA si orientarile doctrinale

In cadrul partidului republican din SUA asistam anul acesta la o confruntare nu doar intre cateva personalitati, ci si intre diferite doctrine politice. Mitt Romney este un moderat, acuzat uneori chiar ca este prea moderat, iar pentru Europa el ar intra in categoria popularilor. Rick Santorum si Newt Gingrich sunt conservatori, si-au impartit acelasi electorat si asta a constitutit o piedica pentru ei in alegerile preliminare pe care aproape sigur le-au pierdut. Ron Paul este libertarian, o doctrina ceva mai radicala si mai putin cunoscuta, dar cu sustinatorii ei fideli. Aceasta situatia ar trebui sa fie o lectie politica pentru noi, cei din Romania. In acelasi partid pot exista orientari doctrinale diferite (nu extrem de diferite totusi) iar confruntarea dintre ele este un lucru benefic. Nimeni nu va fi exclus din partid pentru convingerile sale, nimeni nu le cere competitorilor sa isi schimbe opiniile si sa le adopte pe ale sale. Partidul reprezinta mediul ideal pentru popularizarea ideilor si conceptiilor unor scoli diferite. As spune chiar ca tocmai datorita acestor diferente, doctrinele fiecaruia sunt definite mai bine si devin mai clar intelese de catre oameni… Continuare
