Glenn Beck Calls On Religious Conservatives to Unite

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/beck-gives-powerful-speech-on-unity-among-religious-conservatives/


"Glenn Beck is back, and with a more urgent message than ever. In a powerful speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition today in Washington, DC, Beck sounded alternate notes of alarm and hope, ending with a clarion call for unity among people of God. C-SPAN caught the whole speech, which can be watched at their website here.

And make no mistake, attention was paid to Beck’s speech, which touched on everything from the differences between the American Revolution and the French Revolution to the dangers posed by the television show “Glee.” He also, in a vintage Beck move, teared up while talking about a Hungarian consulate to Sweden who would write letters to the Nazis that placed Jewish citizens under Swedish protection, allowing them not to wear the yellow star. CBS News (video below) described the speech this way:"


As are many of us, Glenn Beck is genuinely concerned about the direction in which we are heading. Few of us though are willing to admit that, by being nitpicky about the minutiae of one's religious beliefs, we are playing the game that the Left has set up for us. How can there be any doubt that they prefer that we be divided and consequently easily subdued?

As an example, the press loves to make hash about whether or not Evangelicals and Fundamentalists will consider voting for a Mormon presidential candidate.

Yes, each of us is certain that our particular beliefs are the most correct ones. This should in no way cause us to set up barriers against each other that weaken us when we try to exercise our political rights. We have to admit to ourselves that we have far more in common than that which separates us.

If we are to put a stop to the attacks that hit us from very angle, we are going to have to put aside the old-fashioned desire to write off others due to religious differences. Mormons may send the missionaries to your door, but they will not force their way in or insist that the beliefs of their Church be taught in our schools. Protestants (Like it or not, Evangelicals/Protestants, you are included here) are going to have to drop the whole anti-Papist junk that accompanied the first English immigrants to these shores and gained in popularity when the Germans and Irish started to show up. Guys, the Catholic Church is not the Whore of Babylon; it is far more Christ-centered that you could imagine. And forget once and for all any attitude problems with Jews - if we can't straighten that out then we are in trouble.

Please read the article linked at top and watch the video. You will find compelling arguments in favor of uniting politically. If we do not do so, we will be squashed one by one. Obama has already gone after the Catholic Church - which religious body is next? Will home-schooling parents be forced to enroll their kids in public schools? We can always argue our positions amongst each other when our nation's leadership is not at stake.
