I attended the rally. I agree with Beck in some things but I disagree with his ultimate goal. He concerns seem to be primarily temporal rather than eternal. He is genuinely concerned about the future of the United States and its people. He is calling us to turn back to God, not for God's glory or for the furthering of the Gospel, but so that we will have protection in trial and storm.

In sum, his goal appears to be man-centered rather than God-centered. I understand why. He has compassion for people and doesn't want to see them suffer. But, ultimately, everything is about God's glory and 1,000,000 years from now, the only things that happened on earth that will matter are those things with eternal consequences.

When Glenn Beck get saved, and I believe that he will, will understand Christ like principles.

BUMP! God can and will be glorified even if this nation ceases to exist (and I pray that His glory will be magnified by this nation and it will continue - but when this nation stops glorifying God as it has in recent years, then we are in danger). All for the glory of God!
