Sunday.....Christianity... National Mall

I've written on Glen Beck's Mormonism a few times. I applaud his patriotism and love of country, I just wish he would hold it at that but Glen Beck isn't the primary topic here, it is the enormous number of Christians in attendance who were on the National Mall yesterday. Most liberal sources opt for the total estimate description  of tens of thousands, while conservative and libertarian sources came in with a more accurate 300,000 plus. I broached the issue of the event with one friend who was going. He acknowledged the fact that Mormonism is not Christian but seemed to see a "bigger picture" of rescuing America from demise. We read a lot about high school students in America graduating without the proper skills for college where most of them are matriculating to. Apparently we have no problem with recognizing the failure of an entire system. Why is it that we react with indignation, as it pertains to in the topic of this blog, when confronted with the same failure in the church? Why are we so willing to defend other Christians and less inclined to defend the God of those Christians? We recognize that a plethora of schemes have been launched against our American way of life. We know they are outright deceit bought by gullible Americans who do not know their own American heritage. We preach vigilance. Apparently we place ourselves so far higher than them that we do not count ourselves susceptible to a false gospel. A false Christ is exalted in Glen Beck's prose and oratory. A false Christ is lifted up and we somehow expect God to answer our prayers concerning America? If Jesus is the only mediator between God and men, as Scripture proclaims it, and if the "Jesus" of Mormonism is not He of Scripture, which we also know to be true, who does Glen Beck then lead us to? We pass out copies of the Constitution and you had better pack a lunch if you are going to recommend more books on America's downward spiral than I do but the doctrines of the Christian faith have been torn apart even more than this nation's system of laws and are infinitely more important and demanding of an apologetic. In fact had we not given sanctuary in our churches to the barbarians of liberal theology from Europe in the 19th century, we would not be dealing with the opposition to God in our state houses today. Yesterday's event was awesome from a political perspective, sad from a Christian one; breeding hope from the former, great concern from the latter. Mr. Beck might be tempted to entertain the thought of being a prophet, for the evidence would be there with his influence and proclamations, but what would it make him if the Christ he exalts, the gospel he proclaims and the God he calls for a return to are not those of God's Word? And how would it portray the multitudes of Christians who give him their banner to carry?
