Has anyone else noticed just how much Glenn Beck has been talking about God lately on his show? I find it amazing and as he readily admits, he believes the only way to restore America to her former greatness is for divine intervention to occur.
What does surprise me (well sort of) is how many people who call themselves evangelical Christians are supporting Beck and his rally. Why do I have a problem with this? Glenn Beck is a Mormon for one. And how does he know God wants to restore America to her former greatness?
In 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 we read, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever?"
So lets give these people the benefit of the doubt and say the we know God wants to restore the USA. However, these same people (many who claim to be Christians) are hooking themselves up with an unbeliever. Why are we trying to use the world, no matter how clean cut beck maybe, to try to restore America? Doesn't this directly contradict the above Scripture?
Another point to consider is that when Beck talks about God, he is not referring to the God of the Bible, but the god of Mormonism. The god of the Mormons is a totally different being than God the Father. Check out here what Mormons teach and believe about their God.
CNN reported here that there was much controversy surrounding Glenn Beck's rally. They weren't only talking politically either. Christians have taken sides as well. Some say, "There is no need to 'de-Christianize' each other over the matter." The thing is there's no way we could "de-Christianize" Beck because he isn't a Christian to begin with!
As a challenge to my fellow Christians, please consider whether the Lord Jesus would have you participating in a rally that is being headed up by non-Christians. "What fellowship has light with darkness?"
