"And they who is not us shall perish"

As aired on CSPAN, at this morning's Congressional Prayer Breakfast, Senator Tom DeLay tastefully read a selection from the Book of Matthew:

Not every one who says to me, "Lord, Lord," will enter the kingdom of heaven; but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.

Many will say to me on that day, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?

"Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you: depart from me, you evil doers.'"

Everyone who listens to these words of mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man, who built his house on a rock:

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew, and buffeted the house, but it did not collapse; it has been set solidly on rock.

And everyone who listens to these words of mine, but does not act on them, will be like a fool who built his house on sand:

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew, and buffeted the house, and it collapsed and was completely ruined."

Meanwhile elsewhere, George W. Bush announced that he would make a startling $10,000 personal donation to victims of the Tsunamis. Bush's net worth is estimated at between $9 and $26 million. The Presidential salary is $400,000 per year.
