God's Slap in the Face to Christian
Leaders
I went to the 828 rally on with my wife and her parents who live in the
Washington D.C. area. We flew in from Orlando.
I was expecting from 30,000 to 100,000, so I figured that arriving at 8am
would be sufficient to find a good seat on the reflecting pool. When we arrived
at the Lincoln Memorial it was already packed out with at least 500,000 at that
time and people kept pouring in. My father in-law (Retired Navy) and life long
resident of D.C and who is not a
fan of the tea party or Sarah Palin
estimated it to be close to 1,000,000.
That is based on all of the
events he has attended in D.C. He
came because he is a WW2 vet and the theme was to honor the military.
Glenn Beck has been criticized by some Christians for his Mormon
beliefs.
I have read the articles written by John McTernan (http://www.johnmcternan.name/) written on August 29,
2010 and the article written by
Brannon Howse (http://www.worldviewweekend.com/worldview-times/article.php?articleid=6439)
Both attack Glenn Beck for
his Mormon beliefs, of which I have not heard a lot of from him and I watch his
show regularly. The rally was overwhelmingly Christian- if some Mormonism was
snuck in the event then I didn’t see it. I like what Glenn Beck says and I will
not become a Mormon.
My own opinion on what is “going on” is
stated in the Word of God:
Acts 5:37-39
After this man,
Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the
census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all
those who followed him were scattered. So in the present case, I say to you,
stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of
men, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to
overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against
God."
If what Glenn Beck is doing is a work of God then it will not fail, but
if it is simply a human endeavor then it will fail. We shall see.
Of the criticism that Glenn Beck is a Mormon, my response also comes from
the Word of God:
Matthew 3:9
And think not to
say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is
able of these stones to raise up children unto
Abraham.
If, God can turn stones into children of Abraham, then can turn a
Mormon into a follower of Jesus Christ. Glenn Beck can do God's work
whether he is a Christian or not. God is not limited to just using believers,
particularly if they are not available.
My Lord is Jesus Christ. I do not follow Glenn Beck. I do however like
what he says. He speaks the truth about what is going on in our government and
culture that we do not hear from our Christian leaders or pastors.
A Slap in the Face
I believe that God is using Glenn Beck to slap American Christians
and particularly American Christian leaders in the face. At times like this
there should be a man of God, a firm believer in Jesus who rises up to lead us
in truth and to restore
righteousness in our government.
But where our Christian leaders? -- They have become whores and are
sleeping with the enemy.
Who is the most famous Christian (?) leader?.... Rick Warren…What is he
doing?
He has disavowed any support for the marriage amendment in California (Prop 8),
because it offended his homosexual friends. (http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=481280)
Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Amos 3:3 How can
a Christian have a friend who is godless?
We have
pastors who worked to get Barrack Obama elected, men who cannot recognize evil.
There was even one pastor who gave the closing prayer to the Democratic
convention that nominated Barrack Obama,
and that at the end of the prayer asked all attendants to pray to their
own false god.
Psalm
16:4
The sorrows of
those who have bartered for another god will be multiplied; I shall not
pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my
lips.
Our
Christian leaders are chasing after
false gods, whether for money, power, fame or they just don’t know Jesus
(Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord
shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.. Matthew 7:
21).
Christians
are desperate for leadership, but known is to
found.
My own
feeling is that the United
States of America and all it has stood for in
terms of freedom for the individual and restraint on tyranny is dead. The
upcoming elections will do nothing.
What we saw
on Saturday August 28, 2010 was the
death throes of our freedom.
Christians
in America prepare yourself for persecution, if the
rapture does not occur this year we
will feel the sting of a government that hates all things Jesus… and that
includes US.
