Welcome to the all-video Wednesday Weekly Wire. I want you to PRAYERFULLY and CONSCIOUSLY watch the last video and read the article. This world is FALLING APART. And it’s killing me. Let’s change it please.
Is this a joke or for real?!!

This would be my suggestion for your tweet:
“Public high schools in Texas are now required to offer an elective course on the Bible. Given how the Bible has affected Western culture and literature for centuries, do you think this is an educationally valid course? http://tinyurl.com/qlohpz“

Jarrett Stevens…formerly of Willow Creek and North Point. He’s planting a pretty cool church in Chicago. Check out their website, and watch a bunch of very cool movies over at RagamuffinSoul
I’m not at all surprised that Jon Stewart is the most trusted newscaster. Because his business is making jokes about the news (or finding its inherent absurdity) he needs to educate his audience pretty well. And he needs to educate them without spin, or with as little as possible, by being a reasonable, “honest broker”. Examples of this are when he took on Jim Cramer in the wake of the economic collapse, and his recent attacks on Lou Dobbs for the “birther” nonsense.
I definitely trust Stewart more than other news sources. The fact that his show is full of sarcasm and that he isn’t afraid to grill people on the spot is refreshing.
