The American Café,
Here are the big items up this week in our State Legislation. This is a list I received from our area 9-12 group. We like and support the 9-12 groups we are aware of.
Warmly,
Peter and Adrienne Robberson-The American Café, prayer and Political Action Home groups. 573-2193.
(Honest Disclaimer: While this may go without saying for most, we’ll say it anyway just to avoid any appearance that we whole-heartedly follow Glenn Beck. We find we are at greater and greater odds with Glenn when he inserts himself into the religious arena as a religious teacher. He would be the first to admit that Mormon teaching is different from orthodox Christianity and we maintain that there are significant and important differences. That said, we heartily support his (non-religious) efforts to educate
We are finding more serious departure from sound, Biblical, historical, Christian teaching (referred to as “orthodoxy”), and greater but unfortunately more subtle, and ear-tickling teaching that immature Christians are likely to accept in his teachings.
I know you’ll want to email me to ask for examples. But let me save you a step. They are myriad but the latest is his take on the use of the terms “brothers and sisters.” Believers have used this since the early church to describe others who have received Christ as savior. (ie, exchanged our fallen selves for Christ’s substitutionary Righteousness). Paul used these terms to describe “followers of Christ’) But Glenn said that we are all, all mankind, are “brothers and sisters” and while that is, of course, true in the sense that we’re all part of the human race, that is not and has never been the sense believers have used when referring to others in Christ.) This is the latest in a long pattern of Glenn universalizing religion; something neither Christians nor Mormons believe. I recently read one writer concerned that Beck was/was becoming a Universalist/Unitarian in his teachings meaning “it doesn’t matter what you believe as long as you are sincere,” and that “all roads lead to god.” This is a dangerous and seductive, sugary-sounding teaching that has a long history of inoculating people to coming to a real relationship with Christ. I understand the critical need for all Americans to come together to fight Progressivism. I get it. But our founders did not design our system around some sort of vague “goodness of mankind” but around a singularly acute awareness that man is fallen and needs redemption. Lets call it the original Trust but Verify. Good men doing nothing will certainly guarantee our failure in
