I wonder what the non christian community thinks about the dialogue from the Evangelical community regarding 8/28.  When I watched most all Cable and local stations report on this event, they mostly saw it as a political movement above the religious talk they heard.  The media is running scared and so is the White House for whether it was Glenn or someone else able to get people of such a large gathering, they knew politically there were more numbers out there that do not agree with the platform.  Some felt this was politcal for this was another Tea Party gathering.  And others were talking about a Beck/Palin run for the Presidency and Vice President.  (Glenn said NO WAY! and somewhat foggy about Palin)
 
I wonder if they think GREAT, the "Church" is fearful of Glenn so we can get them to come to our side or, we don't have to worry about them because they are too busy in debate amongst themselves. Or, what if, let's say, Steve Hadley gets in on the dialogue of our national crisis and is able to rally the "brethren and sisters" in Christ together, will we not allow others who differ in faith to join in on rescuing our nation?  "You guys go do your own thing and we will do ours"?  Oh, and where is the outcry about Obama being a Christian?  I read very little dialogue and the polls show a large populace that feel he is a Christian when it should be very clear and unmistakable about his faith.  
 
As to the Mormons having their private interpretation of the Constitution and our national history, David Barton is a Southern Baptist who has been compiling all of our Founding Father's documents and cataloging our correct history for years.  His organization, Wall Builders has been around for MANY years.
 
The Mormon church does not have the "corner market" on our national history, and the confidence by Christians of other Christians' ability to discern truth from error is quite remarkable.  Since we have the Scriptures, and mostly the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us unto all the Truth of the Scripture,  I feel it near impossible for the Real Born Again, Holy Spirit filled follower of Jesus Christ  to be dissuaded from the Truth for very long.
 
Even as a non Christian, I thought their beliefs were quite strange and suspect, especially since history and archeology do not support their claims of being those from Israel with an unusual name that is not apart of the 12 Tribes of Israel or listed in the Scriptures of their geneology,
 
And, I do not nor never did believe in "secrets' such as the mystery that is shrouded inside the inner Temple in Utah and secret baptisms.  Nor do I believe we existed as spirit-beings before we were conceived.  By the way, at one time while listening to a Bill Gaither 1/2 hour gathering of the singers/musicians, I heard one person make a comment in keeping with that "teaching".   No one raised an eyebrow or commented on that statement nor did I hear the "Church" aroused to defend correct doctrine.
 
At least, I am for returning back to the morality of being a person of your word, shaking a hand is that contract to keep, for better or for worse..keeping that covenant, no "trial" marriages, no unholy marriages and making sure that our eyes see only what is honoring on the Television and not making alllowances.
When our country is in trouble for us to rise to the occasion to defend it and not run away to other countries.  I am for Christians who have the conviction to say NO when their company requires them to perform a job task that is deceitful to their customers or clients or consumers even at the cost of losing their jobs, or just plain outright illegal, rationalizing away, "well, I am just following their orders and don't want to lose my job", it's not really me who is doing it."  Or say I am praying for you and the very next breath, talking against you.
 
I think, in closing, we all need to get our hearts, our lives, ready to meet the Lord.  And I am not preaching to the Choir, I am preaching to my ownself as I know just how easy it is behave in anything less than how our Lord wants us to live.  I first must pull out the log in my own eye before pointing out the splinter in another's.
