It’s why I quit listening to your show Glenn for these reasons. You allow no callers to dispute you which shows cowardice. and frankly it is becoming a “Glenn’s therapy session”. I deal with enough nutcases as it is, I don’t need more exposure. But I do like commenting on some of your articles.

Glenn,
what a wonderful post. You are already in rough terrain, uncharted landscape and lonely woods. You won’t know it until you are past it. You want to be a better man, a better husband, father and friend. Remember, it is not the destination, it is the journey. You are doing what you are meant to be doing as long as you are being yourself and listing to Him. You are accomplishing much more than what is evident. You are guiding and mentoring by example and that is making a bigger difference that you can see. The stars are beginning to shine brighter.

glenn, if you want to become a preacher just fill out the form, pay the fee and fill your studio with followers and have your services. you don’t have to keep pretending anymore, if it’s what you want then do it already. take the leap! i’m not attacking you, just encouraging you. this trying to play both sides of the fence really isn’t working.

You are an inspiration. I love reading your thoughts. I love your heart for God and for things that are true, righteous and good. Keep following after the heart and mind of God. He will lead you. He will continue to lead all of us. Thank you for what you are doing!

Thank you Glenn.

Sounds like you are seeking God. What about Sanctification? Not that progressive stuff that is so often preached, but the good, Old Fashion doctrine that was based on the Word of God, where a man bows on his knees, and asked God to take away the desire for sin, and give you to power to resist temptation. The power to live like Christ.

You see a portrait of this in the lives of many people. Benjamin Carson is portrayed as getting this sanctification in the movie “The Gifted Hands,” and marriage book writer, Gary Chapman (5 Love Languages) who prays for sanctification and attributes it to the change of his life and marriage. What if it is not found in us, but found in what the Lord bought on the Cross? What if He provided a way to be transformed in this Second, defitite work of grace? Its simple enough to give it a try.

Glenn and crew mocking a caller for saying a Christian should not marry a non believer, I guess the Bible making it very clear this should NEVER happen is mock worthy too. Go mow the lawn Glenn, get out of the weeds.

I’m really glad Glenn and Limbaugh don’t do ‘combat radio’ that you reference and apparently want, where people call in to disagree. It’s often not enlightening, rarely adds to the discussion, and really doesn’t fit into the style of radio hosts who are philosophical thinkers.

After years of trying to get politicians elected who’ll cut taxes for him and his rich buddies, looks like Beck finally figured out that religion is the mother of all tax-free scams.

I can’t keep up with your “transformations”, your new positions, your news organization, check that, opinion organization. Trying to be all things to all people assures that you will become nothing to nobody. I hate to say it, but you are fast becoming just like all the politicians out there.

I don’t agree with you either.

I might agree with you somewhat if Glenn did not claim that “Truth lives here”. If you are so filled with truth you do not avoid being challenged. But if you like group think then this show is for you. By the way, you seem to not mind disagreeing banter in the postings here.

Sorry, can’t buy your argument. Even the greatest thinkers to live often chose the times they would interact vs when they spoke to crowds. I have no doubt that Glenn talks with those who disagree on a regular basis, but chooses not to make that a regular part of the show.

That being said, when I hear someone I really disagree with I often have the same feeling, of wanting to challenge what they are saying. What you said for example, I didn’t agree, so I challenge it. This format is suited for discussion and we can choose to do it here. Time and place for everything.

Kind of a classic ‘warning’ from someone who’s not a fan and trying to insert themselves, kind of like the mainstream media giving advice to the Republican party. Glenn does some soul-searching and he’s ‘warned’ that his followers won’t like it.

Glenn’s show is really the only big outlet that combines real political discussion with religion. Fair to say, his audience does include a decent number of people of faith who do pray, and introspect, and evaluate and value this kind of discussion. But then again, what’s all that matter to a troll?

I don’t care what you buy or what you listen to. That’s your business. But it wastes my time just like you’re doing now. Bye.

Pat Robertson did that already. It’s not just non-fans criticizing. Fans have been stating they’re leaving Beck especially since the Bundy indecent.

Glenn, I love the direction you’ve been moving in over the past few months. It’s wondered if your diet has something to do with your new attitude. People say a person is what he/she eats so maybe by getting all the junk food and preservatives out of your life(wouldn’t it be weird if it got found out that anger is really just allergic reactions to food) and are eating the way God intended for people to you’re noticing things that were always around.

I used to love Glenn when he focused on current events. Now he sounds more like a whiney preacher. Glenn, your mantra is “question with boldness”. I implore you to do this concerning the origins of your church. I am qualified to say this because my family history is CLOSELY tied to your first prophet. So much so that there is a street in Nauvoo named after my family. I suggest this out of love. It is possible to pray to and worship a false god. Study Dr. Walter Martin.

Get some rest Glenn, take care of yourself and get some sleep. We’re concerned about you.

“Tell me! What do you want me to do! I will do it, but just tell me!”

Read J. R. Rushdooney’s, “Institutes of Biblical Law”.

Sadly, Beck’s so-called transformation is a self-indulgent, self-serving path. Too bad, because when he was on Fox, I watched almost everyday! Even started my research based on some of his shows: The Green Corruption Files http://greencorruption.blogspot.com/2014/06/clean-energy-dirty-money-green.html#.U5tFIKh0Ek8

Love, love, loved that

I think Glenn just wants us to listen. Maybe it’s something that comes with age.

Enjoyed this and yes I agree! We are flooded by all the commotion! We desperately need those times that we let that still little voice come in!!

If that means you’re quitting on America… on US… now that you’re financially secure beyond your wildest imaginings, while most of us are not… SHAME ON YOU! If not, please explain. A LOT of us have a LOT invested in you, sir. I’ll look forward to an answer.

Who cares what you think? You obviously think your voice should be heard over others, including Beck. I’m willing to bet you are just as narcissistic in every other aspect of your life, which necessarily means that you are a waste of time for every person in your life. You only have time for yourself and your own grandiosity. Buh-Bye.

really with the anti Mormon stuff? LET IT GO..They aren’t hurting you or anyone else!!

Patience grasshopper.

Interesting Glenn. I agree with you.

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

6 in all your ways submit to him,

and he will make your paths straight. (NIV 2011)

And there he goes! Lando stated, “If you are so filled with truth you do not avoid being challenged” He’s avoiding being challenged because of an intelligent, polite response in the area where debate is encouraged. Atlanta Guy just went up in my book. Can’t say the same for lando.

Simply beautiful. God Bless and keep His protective hand over you and your family. Much love.

I want the old Glenn back. I appreciate that you’re trying to show us examples of folks that are making a difference in their own ways. Make that a show unto itself. I count on you to guide us to the real truth by exposing our government for what it has become. Do this and I will continue to be a loyal fan.

Glenn, what exactly do you believe now? I sincerely don’t know if we’re on the same page anymore. And if I could make one suggestion, stop cursing-it makes you part of the problem. My kids always say to turn the radio off when you start swearing

They are hurting themselves. Open your mind, step back, and “question with boldness”. I love Mormons, please don’t misunderstand my purpose. I want to see them in heaven. I am not trying to attack, but to save.

Thanks for sharing that. It is very encouraging and made me reflect on my attitude. Very inspirational.

Totally agree. I just don’t know where he is on the stuff that matters anymore

This would be a wee bit more believable if Beck didn’t feel the need to ANNOUNCE it. This is the kind of thing that is supposed to be between the individual and God, and if you talk about it, you do not do it when you’re supposedly in the midst of cogitating. The way this is written, it sounds like he’s going to be evolving into another life form.

Glenn your anguish problem has a name: neurosis.

You are hallucinating talks, that’s okay… but please take a good psychological treatment because your obsession is uninteresting.
Funny after exposing our narcissistic self centered president psychopathy, you adopt that same horrific syndrome!
The problem is: it does not need a subscription… is simply boring.
Stop man!
Forget your bellybutton and look for other issues, if you want to continue your success.
Yes… you are a good boy…and Mom loves you.

“You obviously think your voice should be heard over others, including Beck. ”

Actually, what he said concerning Beck was “You allow no callers to dispute you which shows cowardice.”

How does what he wrote indicate that he thinks his voice should be heard “over” Beck’s? It seems plain that he simply wants Beck to entertain dissenting voices.

“I’m willing to bet you are just as narcissistic in every other aspect of your life…”

Of course you are. It’s your stock substitute for rational discourse.

Glenn, I haven’t been following you since you left the Fox News Network, but I have to say that everything that you predicted, everything you said was going to happen has happened. I don’t care what these other bloggers have to say about you. You have done your duty by informing the uninformed & some of these people are just down right rude. Don’t pay any attention to them & just keep focused on enlightening the folks that care to listen and want to know the truth. Best of luck in all your endeavors & keep on fighting the good fight. To hell with these other assholes!

We love you Glenn and pray for your team! My husband has read the Circle of Prayer by Mark Batterson. Also we love the fact that you pray before your daily meetings.
Everything you are doing is just an encouragement to your audience that we all need.
Anyway, thank you Glenn. God is blessing your life in everyway! You can truly say that Provs. 3:5-6 is working in your life.

He is providing what you are asking for via TheBlaze, For The Record, Real News, and others…he cannot do this all himself, he has to delegate. He has health issues that complicate things. Be patient and watch the other avenues of information that he provides.

Well said, Glenn.

To those of you who are spewing the negative crap about Glenn’s show, viewpoints, financial success and religion: This article deals with Glenn’s introspection about growing in every area of his life and relationships. If Glenn’s show, viewpoints about politics or anything else, way of practicing his religion, wealth and success bother you, then stop reading his articles and don’t listen to his broadcasts and go away. No one is forcing you to listen to him. You won’t be missed. You’re obviously enjoying taking potshots at someone who’s famous and successful. That indicates the need for introspection and change and growth on your part. Glenn’s working on it. How ’bout you?

Less complaining. Appreciate our blessings. Always try to be better for those who look up to us. Stand for truth and the right thing.
Be the change we want to see in the world. I get it.

Spak for yourself. I’m happy to listen to his messages. Thanks Glenn. Keep giving us the Good Word.

You are being the voice of many

Exactly. Glenn has implored us many times that first and foremost, Mercury is a business and businesses exist to turn a profit–and himself, by extension. There is nothing wrong with that but he tends to try to hide or at least minimize this aspect of himself.

Glenn, I want to first off apologize for all the hateful responses you seem to have recieved. Your post was very encouraging and somehow enlightening. I have struggled with Bipolar disorder for the last two and half years. And as it’s getting worse I seem to find myself immersed in anger and hatred towards other people. Somehow your post has enlightened me to the prospect that while I do have a legitimate and diagnosed excuse for my anger, that still does not give me the right to hold on to anger. You mention wanting to become a better man, and I think we all feel that at some point or another. I thank you for your post and for leading me, as accidental as it was, into becoming a better person myself.

Well said; and, I agree. Change is eternal.

I disagree. I think Glenn’s heart is in the right place. He digs deep in rooting out the truth in so many ways…he just needs to take another step.

In the measure to which I think and speak
Not from my own individual convictions
But merely repeating what is thought and said,

My life ceases to be my own.
I cease being the supremely individual person that I am
and I act on societies account.

If we expect to add something worth while to the conversation we should be willing to accept ownership and responsibility for our words and actions. To me it is better to debate the ideas and philosophy, and principles than to go after the individual with accusation/labels.

We can vote our convictions, add our voice & work to those candidates we believe in and trust God to do what he has promised.

BS. Beck does nothing but piss and moan about his dog and his family. Why he thinks we want to hear this is beyond me. I liked him when he started out but now his career has obviously interfered with his life and he uses his audience for therapy.
Beck claimed Billy Graham was part of his inspiration for leaving fox news today on the radio. It would be nice if Graham was alert enough to back it up. Just the idea that he would share this with his audience now shows how low he will go for ratings…

One you never looked at the front of the Mormon church that says, “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints”. You can claim he is a false god if you want but we don’t. Second if you knew anything about the LDS church you would know it does not have paid preachers. Everyone is a volunteer and people take turns in various positions. It is one thing to try and save one with love and encouragement. Quite another to try and save someone by slamming who they are and what they believe.

What a beautiful post. When you speak of helping others, you already have. You have helped me to want to be better and to do better. Glenn, you have helped so very many people already. You scare the heck out of me at times and inspire me at other times. You speak truth and that can be a very scary thing but it also helps us to grow in many ways. I first saw you on CNN and I thought how awesome your message was. I have been with you ever since so I want to thank you for being you and I hope the truth always lives wherever you are. Thanks again for all that you do for so many!

I feel the same hard motion to change like being on a large rolling sea. It rolls under my feet over and over again. Restless. I am listening but perhaps not enough to God’s loving voice. I see many around me fearful of changes and changes in America. I do not feel that fear except wonder what to do next to help us all and my family.

He doesn’t claim to be a prophet.

Glenn,
As Peter states in the Bible, “Be Submissive”. Submit to all the evil doer, because Jesus will have the Last Word. God Bless you and may you succeed in whatever ventures you create to make this a better World.

I’m certain Glenn doesn’t read or care about these comments… he implores ‘us’ to question even the very existence of God, as Jefferson did, but if you come to the reasonable conclusion that its all a fairy tale then you got that wrong… I like Glenn, building that network is amazing, and he’s my voice out there doing the work while I listen, but the religious stuff is such a put off… take God out of it, if he existed, and was our ‘Father’ I’d put myself up for adoption… if God is to be praised for the good then you have to blame him for the evil. And yes Glenn, you are very mental, but at least you’re on our side.

Glenn, everything you said resonates with me. Especially meaningful was the truth you’ve come to realize: “You have all you need.” This one came to me at a point in my life where I felt like I was fighting the good fight for God and was getting weary looking around for more resources, more time, more colleagues and fellow workers. And God whispered “Relax. you have all you need.” An entirely new world opened up to me and new challenges were achieved. I’ve carried this message to others and seen how they also have gone way beyond their own imaginations. So I get it. Don’t let the naysayers here or elsewhere get to you — but somehow I know on that I’m preachin’ to the choir.

I agree with carol. Where is the humble Glenn we all loved? Big business and big money makes you just like the rest of the Wall Street Fat Cats. I just can’t stomach his out of touch ravings anymore. Lost me with his latest life threatning illness ploy. Shame on him! God is watching!

He has never said he is a prophet. He follows a prophet, believes in prophets but never said he was one.

You realize he can’t dispute callers all day… he has a message.. I agree with you that the religion part of that message is distracting from his otherwise informed opinions.

Maybe…but, on the other hand, choosing to not believe something does not make it false.

I’m sorry if you feel I am “slamming” Glenn, but I did not do that. The name of the church or who gets paid for each position has nothing to do with it’s foundational doctrines. I know a great deal about the LDS church. Please don’t think you have the market cornered on knowledge.

“This may end up being the biggest and most important challenge of my life.” Does anyone really care about your life when you refuse to get out in front of Supporting Bundy in his time in need. Or your bashing of Operation American Spring. You said there would be violence and there was none. I haven’t heard an apology from you. You hurt OAS by telling your members to don’t go. If you had gotten the message out then maybe more people would have shown up. But being the egotistical person you are it went against your nature to support something you had no hand in organizing. All you care about are the dollar signs in your head. A true cause you will not support. Marching on DC in support of the Constitution that you supposedly support is a true cause. You once said to your audience that they should chain themselves to the IRS building in civil disobedience after the IRS scandal broke. A person that has your influence telling his listener audience to go out and do civil disobedience without leading it is a coward. It’s ok for them to get arrested as you sit in your cozy studio. You try to stir things up then you just sit back and watch what happens. Glenn why don’t you lead a civil disobedience movement. Your always praising MLK. He at least acted on his words. He got arrested. He Marched. He preached and he acted. You just Preach. Big difference. Put some skin in the game Glen. You missed your chance when you bashed Operation American Spring. You should have supported OAS. You still can, but your ego will get in the way. You would have to admit your wrong and apologize to Colonel Riley. Colonel Riley is in his 70′s and he is out in DC while your at home making money off people who believe that you are sincere in what you do, other then making money.

A fool runs from his thoughts. The best times are mowing the yard, sitting in a deer stand in the freezing cold, shoveling the snow. Times where no one is interrupting your thoughts or your quiet. Where your thoughts are not someone elses.

P.S. If God is so in control, and everything will work out as God has planned… then ‘f’ the network, just grow Alfalfa. God’s got it.

Silence is nothing to be afraid of, but to be embraced. That’s when God can speak with us, when we finally shut up and want to hear what He has to say. If we are steady in His Word, He will lead us and guide us through whatever it is we must go through. He doesn’t take us through these things without our best intent to prune us and change our hearts to be more like His; to see truth, to see and feel compassion, as well as justice and righteousness. The biggest problem we face in our nation right now, be it my perspective, is 2Chron 7:14…”if my people…”. When we as believers do what we are supposed to be doing, God will heal our land. From a believers perspective, there will be no other solution. Try as we might, we cannot do this in our own strength, only obedience to God’s Word. I only speak for myself…I cannot speak for an unbeliever.

WOW! You live your life according to what Glenn wants….

who was it again that Forced you to read it?
you have the choice to not have the bother of what he thinks by not reading it. But to imply he doesn’t have the right to speak it…you accuse yourself with your own words and will be held to the same account you hold others.
Why you would say what you said “is beyond me” and it seems you are using this for your therapy. It goes to show how low you would go to get people to acknowledge you.

I often pray,”…make me a better man, a better husband, father, employee, servant, disciple,..”. 6 For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6

I love those quiet moments. I left the corporate world years ago and started working for myself. I work alone and have a lot time during the work time to be alone with my thoughts. When I raised my two oldest children, I realized they were so busy that not having a date/friend to do something with on a Friday night was a major catastrophe. I swore when my three younger children came along they would be comfortable in their own company. It’s great they are good being alone. They aren’t following the herd. They are just as comfortable doing something alone as doing something with others. So, when their friends are getting into questionable situations they just come home. The older children hung around because they didn’t want to spend the evening alone or, “well everyone else was staying”. Go sit/lay on a mountain top and watch clouds float by for an afternoon. Life will look better for it. And, problems/questions will get answered. I know not where you are going. But, I’ll be interested in the journey. Because the Lord won’t let you down.

provide link – or transcript please

John 16:33-These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Glenn, not now Sir, not now!! you said not so long ago on one of your shows “America, just when you think it’s all over we are on the verge of Victory” I’m holding you to this buddy, read whats above, that verse kept me alive when I was ready to let it all go, but I will not go down without a fight, Hell no, I won’t.
Cowboy Up Man!! and lead those of us who are just holding on by faith alone.
I’ll stand with you.

who Forced you to read something that was ‘mind numbing’ – you had the choice to stop, right? What’s funny is – your comments have absolutely nothing to do with the piece that was written. How very tolerant and inclusive of you ….

So, Glenn’s going to announce his Candidacy for some Elected Office….???

this applies to this article how?

so his grandpa didn’t really mow the lawn?! dangit! I knew something was up.

Chris you are 100% correct. I listened to Glenn when he exposed the likes of Soros,Van Jones and the like. He has turned from being a defender of the Constitution to a preacher. His bashing the Operation American Spring hurt it immensely. Instead of supporting it and covering it he did the opposite.

Landree, excellent observation. I agree.

He also said:

“I don’t care what you buy or what you listen to. That’s your business. But it wastes my time just like you’re doing now. Bye.”

First of all, no one is wasting any of his time. He’s wasting his own by reading someone’s post and then responding. Got it, genius?

I see you’re still smarting from myself, and others, identifying your narcissistic propensities. Too bad. It’s true. As for identifying narcissism in this country, there has never been a better time to do it. This nation has sunk into a tar pit of self-indulgence and delusions of self-importance. Telling Beck he’s a coward because he doesn’t want this self-important blowhard yammering at him is an example.

That you think you are the arbiter of rational discourse is yet another indicator of your rampant narcisissim, which, if you have a history on this site, most people have already noticed. You certainly haven’t made many friends on Frontpage with your arrogance and dishonesty-by-obfuscation.

I’ll see you on Frontpage, Hiernonymouse. Unfortunately.

I love my husband and recently mentioned that i think he needs to get away. He is taking a camping vacation alone to be in his thoughts and this won’t be easy for him. He is passionate about his country and wants to know everything but I told him I think it would be good to hear what needs to be said in his own mind. He has ADHD and this won’t be easy. Please pray for him and his own journey to be the best be can be. I love him so much.

Don’t be anti mormon. They have most of it right and you don’t know it yet.

Lets not be too hard on those who’ve blinded themselves. They’re trapped in their paradigm and won’t take the rose colored glasses off.

As time goes on for all of us, I think that we all need to listen to that silence that is so rare in our lives. More importantly, we need to listen for that small voice. We need the guidance from a spiritual plane. Thanks Glenn.

Glenn, thank you for sharing your thoughts, hopes and prayers with us. It’s up to us to read and agree or disagree, both as to your content and to your expressions of your faith.

I appreciate both the content and the sharing of your faith, but if I disagreed with anything, I’d merely follow an old adage “Take what you like and leave the rest”. That approach works for me and even though I have my thoughts on how it may work for others, that’s simply none of my business since I have a full time job “keeping my side of the street clean”.

I urge you to keep sharing your insights, your struggles, your realizations and your faith with us…it’s each person’s choice to read it or not, and to agree or disagree, but for me, I look forward to it as I struggle with many of the same issues and in my quest to be a better man, it is always good to know one is not alone in that quest.

May God bless you, Glenn, and all of those with whom you share your stories.

you were never noticed when you left

Listen to today’s radio show.

your time is not worth much an probly never will be

Glenn, there are many, many men in all walks of life dealing with the same issues, and quite honestly, God has chosen you as a Godly leader for these men. I’m gonna keep you in my prayers that you will have the strength (the joy of The Lord is our strength) to do what this simple pharmacist prescribes: Repeat OUT LOUD, “I trust YOU GOD” three times daily. Thank you for serving this country in a very special capacity in such a time as this.

What I ponder: I have often wondered why the Tea Party isn’t doing what the left has always done and that is change their name to something more inclusive. For instance, couldn’t Freedom Works, Tea Party and all other conservatives come together under a new title called Freedom Party or Patriot Party and each may remain the same entity but work under an umbrella of one name for the greater good?

Glenn. You are touching on what I have learned after retiring to my farm. I have found the original religion. I have found life and the celebration of life all around me.The original religion sees beauty in all things.Plants ,trees ,animals,rocks each having a life of it’s own. Each having it’s place with me and for me.Oh how lucky I am to finally see life and it’s meaning.Tithing started by the original religion. You harvest your crop but you save some seeds and only the best seeds for replanting. You plan and plant and fertilize . You work to keep it all right and the plants start to come up.You work some more and have faith. Faith in the fertilizer,the rains ,the sun and with what you believe is right.
You invest your best seeds,you work,doing what you think is right and you have faith.
This is the original religion. 10,000 years ago,they had the time you wish for.They had no distractions only the beauty of life around them and they learned how it works and they became fruitful. I tell my friends try to see what you are looking at. Flower is more then a flower,same with a tree or rabbit. I love my chickens because they are chickens.I watch them grow and fight and care for each other. I see the cycle of life and death is just a part of it.When you plant or build a barn or make roosts for the chickens ,you are investing in life.It all starts with faith and it carries you all the way through.I have observed on of the strongest forces in the universe,the will to live.I have seen plants and animals survive the toughest elements .They did not give up,they did not quit.They took the pain not knowing what will come but they hung on. Is this not life? Everyday I say gracais a Dios.
You are a man of study. Study the original religion. It will become crystal clear how man has distorted life and it’s meaning since thousands of years ago. Faith.

I am so moved by the thoughts you just shared with the world. I have someone in my life who also has such similar thoughts and dreams as you do that he could be your twin brother (in mind not looks)… We love to listen to you and your thoughts and ideas on The Blaze… It is an inspiration that someone else has the views we do and the courage to speak the truth.. God Bless you Glenn Beck… and thank you

genius he ain’t

Glenn is right read your Bible or maybe you don’t have one I don’t no ?

your full of your self

Unfortunately “mostly right” doesn’t cut it. Mormonism is polytheistic at it’s core. Christianity is monotheistic. They share many similar terms and expressions, but once you peel off the veneer they are very different.

I suggest, The Path by Rick Joyner. Book one of the fire on the mountain series. You will enjoy it:)

Well said, Hugh. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing and even the doubters and haters are free to exercise it that freedom. I pray they find peace and contentment in their lives so they don’t feel the need to bash others, perhaps to feel better in some way?

Beck’s article is about “transformation,” and, as usual, he tells us nothing….we have no idea what he’s talking about. That’s the way it’s been five years, now….teaser and after teaser, only to be pretty much disappointed. Christine was saying that SHE was transformed by the FORMER Beck.
Who appointed you the monitor of this site?

i to liked the old glenn going to miss him

Praying that you get to be the better man you hope to become. Also praying today for the souls around the world that are suffering at the hands of the wonton hosts of evil. May HE protect them in this hour of their need.

Your opinions on the foundational doctrines are meaningless. Why should anyone care about who you are and what your opinions on the foundational doctrines are. You don’t have the market cornered on knowledge either.

I don’t think Glen has a cowardly bone in his body. People tune in to enjoy his ideas, a conservatism rarely expressed by the pundits too really cowardly to say what they really feel for fear of retribution Washington carefully aims and fires at anyone not agreeing that the emperor has a marvelous wardrobe.

Maybe you need to take a step too. Forward or backward, who knows?

Our foundational doctrine is that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that because of His love and sacrifice for us, salvation is possible. Without Him, nothing would matter. We would all be lost forever. Whatever else you have read or heard about us, know that He is at the center of everything we believe.

i loved the defender

Glenn, blessings my brother! We met backstage in Phoenix in 2012 when you signed my Bible. You had previously educated my wife and I on air especially at Fox with your visual presentations. My friend it appears as if we do not have much time left, although with God anything is possible. Because of the preserved need to be better prepaired for the potential Financial or political waterfall ahead, I would shift your time on air to include more educational items like you used to. I also sense the current time calling ALL conservative talk show folks to get together more and support things on a massive scale instead of each talk show host or Tea party or 9-1-2 group, going and taking a following down 50,000 slightly different path’s. Brat’s win over Cantor was a HUGE blessing even though he did not get much support from Freedomworks or the National Tea party groups which is sad. Aren’t we all on the same team? What would have happened had you or others supported OAS? There was not a united front and that hurts our progress and growth when the other side gathers together no matter what! We are the winning side and we should do better connecting and letting slight differences GO, but we don’t. IN AZ we traveled the state to get donations from fellow Americans to assist the other Americans that went to DC, that we did not know. I felt it inexcusable to expect my fellow Americans to absorb the cost of freedom themselves without assisting them. So when they went we supplied Gas, food and prayer to get them there and back home. The effort was noble and those that gave up their family, life and income to try to save this country will always have a hero’s spot in my heart, they suited up and showed up even when others ignored or worse discouraged those hard working Americans that went that gave up a lot to come to the aid of their country that they love. The Conservative wagons need to circle, with a Spirit of unity and forgiveness and Quite time maybe together in prayer asking for God’s Will, His timing and His forgiveness, SOON! Then the America that God blessed us with will successfully put Our Lord back on the Throne again.

Glenn, I hope that comfort can be shared. I read your words and I cry. A grown man crying like a child with crocodile tears running down my cheeks. I cannot see a future of the surviuval of my beloved country. Reading your thought pushes me into tearful prayer, with an anguished tremble in my voice that keeps me from speaking out loud.

I apologize to God for my neglect in letting my country get pulled away from the path that He inspired our Founding Fathers to create. I pray for forgiveness for all of us who have not followed the clear path they outlined in their inspired writings.

At times in conversation with my son, who nears completion of school and will soon embark on the career path for which he has prepared, I apologize to him for the harder life he may have due to my generation’s neglect and failure to maintain the liberty and freedom bestowed on us by God and acknowledged in our Constitution.

I can only hope that your perceived salvation, if that is what it is, includes us all.

you are so right Atlanta there is still a lot of Bible believing people here I am not gung ho with all of Glenn’s tactics but at least he is not NBC,ABC , He is Glenn”

Sounds like someone is going through a mid-life crisis! Been there done that.

As a Christian I believe in the biblical prophecy. I confess to getting angry, paranoid,
depressed… every emotion possible over the affairs of our country and the
world. It’s been a slow process but I think I’m coming around to what Glenn is experiencing. Yes, we all need to fight the good moral fight, but still realize that the end times will not be pleasant. In fact, we only have pyric victories ahead of us as we are destined to lose the war before the Lord returns. Be good to your fellow
man and serve the Lord well and all will be fine. Our presence on this Earth is but a test- never forget that.

Glenn, may the Hand of Providence be upon you. May the Almighty smile upon you. And may the efforts of the Enemy be thwarted at every attempt to cast doubt or hinder you. I have told you this on air, you are a Re-Founding Father of our Republic. I stand along side you brother, with my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor.

As with most LDS detractors, you pick and choose from what people in their church have said, and judge and condemn them to Hell without provocation, reason, nor even justification from God. Jesus said that it is not for you to judge, in plain language, even in the Greek. You break the commandments of the true God to ridicule something you don’t begin to understand. Sit down and shut up.

Thank you for your testimony. Let me ask you 2 questions:
1) Do you believe that Joseph Smith’s first vision told him that all the other Christian sects were wrong and they had fallen away, and that the plates were given to him to “restore” the church?
2) Do you believe that God was once a man like us, and that you can become a God once you die, in order to procreate eternally?

Sorry Chad, I never claimed to.

Thank you Hugh, you said it right “

Wow…that doesn’t even deserve a comment. You don’t sound like any of my Mormon friends.

Great post..one which we can truly relate to. It is hard not to be emotional about Obama and his march-in-step step minions who are dismantling everything sacred and precious and Divinely unique about America from its very inception. How a man who has never had to sweat over making a profit, never wore a US uniform, smirked when his wife complained at his last inauguration of making such a “fuss over that d–n flag” would ever end up President is indeed maddening and beyond belief!

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chad…so much hate. Why are you angry?

It’s pretty oblivious he is a deep thinker. Maybe that’s why he is a Mormon .

Don’t be so hard on yourself.

You have not been posting here telling Glenn what he should do? What did I reply to?

Are my eyes really blue?

May I recommend you attend a Sunday school class at the LDS church as this year is the study of the old testament. Like all christian faiths we study the bible. Right now we are in Samuel. As with the name of the Church the doctrine is based on his teachings. I live near Liberty University. Hardly a Mormon hotbed but yet Glen have been invited there more than once and I have friends of that faith who when we discuss religion we can agree on most things. So while many love to slam LDS doctrine saying its a cult or its not a Christian faith there are many Christians of other church’s that think otherwise.

Have you ever listened to one of his broadcasts? I wonder. Every day he tells us “Don’t take my word for it…do your own homework.” That’s exactly what I did, and I’m asking him to do the same thing. My ancestors are closely tied to the Mormon church, that’s mainly why I was curious.

That’s going a little too far. A man’s religion is part of who he is, and just like eating at a great restaurant, you want to share it’s address and great menu with others. What’s wrong with that?

Really? What a load. Depending on the church-all you have to do is accept Jesus into your heart or repent and be baptized or repent and be baptized and accept the Holy Ghost or be sprinkled when you are a baby-which is it, dude?

That doesn’t make him a prophet. He does not claim to speak for God or be a spokesman for God, which is what a prophet does.

I cannot add to that post except to say you are not alone Glenn.

How is “Tea Party” or “Freedom Works” not inclusive? There is nothing partisan about either one.

Actually I bounce between 2 computers because I do business on one and I do research and pass the time between trades attempting to enlighten people since I am such a big narcissist. It’s okay though. It’s just another of my many sins God forgives me of. He knows as I do that I am a flawed individual and He still loves me anyway. But thanks for reminding me of my faults. I don’t take it personally. Gotta go and make some money, be back in a few minutes.

This just shows your misunderstanding of LDS theology.

Hate? What hate? I am not angry at all. Why are YOU angry inside?

Glad you love Mormons, and hopefully Catholics, Baptists..and the list goes on. You can’t love someone and cut down something as dear to them as their religious beliefs.

Chad, I’ll ask you the same questions:

1) Do you believe that Joseph Smith’s first vision told him that all the other Christian sects were wrong and they had fallen away, and that the plates were given to him to “restore” the church?
2) Do you believe that God was once a man like us, and that you can become a God once you die, in order to procreate eternally?

Glenn is allowed to ponder deeper truths. I personally like the fact that he is spending more time with God. I am not a Mormon – but Glenn is reflecting my own attitude about wanting to grow through the journey to become more like Jesus, through the help of the Holy Spirit.

Glenn is hitting upon the fact that we need to join together on things we have in common instead of back-biting on the things we don’t – and that I believe also includes our relationship with God. When I see the angry words written in response to Glenn’s reflections, I see that we have a long way to go.

So, I encourage the attitude of joining together in peace, finding common ground and moving our lives forward in positive ways. If people who visit this post find us unwilling to take another’s personal journey in peace, then what message are we sending to those visitors?

Thank you Glenn for sharing. I too know the challenge of trying to move forward in my life, waiting on God, and understanding that things are in His timing and in His ways. (For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways, my ways, saith the LORD. – Isaiah 55:8) It is best that I always keep this in mind – especially when the world all around me is in chaos.

All because of the Nicene Creed. Why don’t you other Christians do some research on that.

Glad you know a “great deal about the Mormon Church”, keep working on that…you never know what might happen! Saul who became Paul found out…

Did Glenn claim that Rev. Graham inspired him or instructed him personally? Perhaps he meant he was inspired by something Rev. Graham’s said or wrote, not that they had a personal consultation.

How pathetically sad and lonely your life must be Landree.

You spend your time on here criticizing Glenn and those that are trying to make a difference.

You fail at this miserably.

You and others like you troll sites like this to attack those working for a better tomorrow.

Most likely because most sites reject or ban you.

Why? Because you offer no alternative or constructive criticism.

Your comments here tell us that Glenn must be doing something right.

It’s your thoughts such as these I miss so much. I poder these things also, being only one person and no way to share the depth of those thoughts.
Take comfort Glen none of us is perfect and can only strive to be so. But, you have the admiration and respect of so many, hopefully knowing that brings some peace and comfort.
Stay true to your values and all else works itself out.
Bless you and your family always.

Really? I didn’t notice. Shalom.

Heard a story of a catholic priest once who said to a Mormon. Either your right or we are right. It can’t be any other way. He proceeded to explain that all the other christian church’s are break always from the catholic church and that if the Catholic church is wrong then all the break away church’s are wrong and the LDS church must be right because they are the only one that did not evolve from the catholic church. On the subject of God having a body of flesh and blood. Did he not send his only begotten son to come to this earth to fulfil all that he said he would through his prophets including the obtaining of a body of flesh and blood. If Christ said the father and I are one, in purpose would the father also not have obtained that body of flesh and blood.

I’ll repeat myself. I don’t care what you or others buy or listen to. I merely stated why I was no longer listening to Glenn. If you enjoy it, more power to ya.

Dear Glenn,
This is one of your best commentaries ever! It spoke to me so deeply – many of your comments and concerns co-inside with mine – and you crafted your words in such a reassuring way that reminded me (once again) to keep listening to that small still voice within me that keeps saying that our country, our world, and our humanity will survive and be alive again. Thank you! -

He suffers from wealth envy. It’s quite common now.

Guest, I would like to know what lies you are referring to? Just because you say Beck has been lying over the years, doesn’t make it true what you say. He does do his homework. Since you know all about him, you have to do read a lot of his writings. Ha,ha. You must enjoy something about what he says.

You’re a ray of light in a cold,dark world. God blessed you with strong voice and a faith in Him to see you through life’s waves! In so doing you help all of us that doubt him. Than you!

Nice.

Most of the LDS I know have done their homework too. And I am pretty sure Glenn has done his as well, which is why he is where he is at in his progression.

EJ sorry your life is so empty that you send out pleas to be noticed. you have been noticed and forgiven. Hope your day brings you one spark of happiness.

Meg903, the word “do” should not be in the sentence

I don’t mind him pointing out his religious beliefs but he leaves out the ones that most people would be shocked to hear. But he could at least have some calling in that might disagree. Liberals have never been served well by their group think attitude where only socialist thought is allowed

A curious event took place in the pages of the bible…Hezekiah, when given a few more years than was allotted, failed his master. The prince of Persia sent gifts and letters of flattery to Hezekiah and then the King of Judah invited him to tour the hall of God’s treasures. God’s treasures…those brought to the tabernacle from every tribe…spoons bowls, platters and such in wagons and ceremony to the priest to set in the Tabernacle for God’s remembrances.

Seemed like a small thing; an insignificant gesture that leaned the wrong way, but it actually was an indicator of a lack of both knowledge and respect for the “feelings” of God.

Your message tells me, a pastor, that you sense the lost values that go beyond the issues of culture. The root of America ripped out and burned before anyone truly noticed…”in God we trust.”

God has turned His eyes from our plight, but we still hold the line to the drapes…keep pulling our friend…His eyes may come in vengeance, or judgment, or mercy, but they are still His eyes that we trust and hold.

God commanded Hezekiah’s sons to be eunuchs in the courts of the Prince of Persia, another message for another time, so we face many powerless young men for the force of change. But we can affect our beloved nation, and our own world.

Glenn is still focused on current events. It’s just that when he isn’t doing political and world current events he’s doing events that shows what he believes in when he isn’t working. That’s just as current as any other event and maybe more since he’s personally involved at a cellular level.

I want to see them in heaven? I guess has judged himself there already. Pretty bold.

Glad you know a “great deal about the Mormon Church”, keep working on that…you never know what might happen! Saul who became Paul found out…

Glenn, totally understand the essence of your inner feelings. I have written to you before about the ideas you expressed. Please remember this comment, because I will be reaching out for your help later this summer. Ted

I had a professor in my undergraduate program who once asked, “Do you all have time to just think?” We looked at her as though we didn’t understand the question. “Just think?” But in the years since, I’ve come to understand her wisdom. We’re too busy producing things to consider the big questions–do, make, create, produce…But without the time to think, how do any of us know that the “work” we do has any real value.

Wow, I also feel that I am going through a change as well I lost my Grandmother a year and 3 months ago and her birthday is approaching next month. She told me things about growing up on the farm and how to farm as well. This really speaks to me and I wish you the very best Glenn. Thank you and your staff for the hard work that you have all done. God is good Amen!

Hi Glenn,

If you want a constructive view of God’s challenge to help the poor feed themselves, ask me to send one picture to an e-mail that you can see! Ask tryontechnologyATme.com

“Figure it out yourself” the voice whispers. That is what Glenn hears as the ‘voice of God’?
1 Samuel 15:22
So Samuel said:
“Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
As in obeying the voice of the Lord?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice,
And to heed than the fat of rams.

Rather than figuring it out myself, I’d be better to seek God and obey His voice.
Thanks anyway, Glenn.

1) The plate were not given to “restore” the church. That was a much more involved process. But yes, man had fallen into apostasy. And not for the first time.
2) Man can inherit all that God hath. But man is always subject to God and God is always God to man, whatever end state man ends up at.

Again, your homework seems to have been based on misunderstanding of LDS theology and the Bible.

Honestly Glenn, I think you will find that the final stage of this transformation is just the completion of another step on the road of life because every step on the road transforms us.
Maybe you spent a lot of time climbing and finally you are on the downside side of the mountain but sometimes it’s as hard to go down hill as it is to go up.
Good luck and God Bless You on your journey.

Why does this newsletter let these work ads show all of the DAMN time? IT’S GOOGLE FRAUD!

Well they do pay the vast majority of taxes (not disputable).

If everyone paid in, everyone could lay claim. But they don’t.

Complain about those making more than you all you want. But it’s an old story that doesn’t really mean anything except to liberals who use it for their gain.

It’s God’s plan you work at being a better person, grow and learn and try for the right paths, it’s the least you can do and not always appreciated……

Good words for Obama! Send him that post…chances are it won’t ever be read! Things have really changed…when I sent a letter to Jimmy Carter, as President, I received a personal letter back, and call from the Secretary of the Treasury. Right or Left, he at least cared about his constituents.

I think y’all are missing the point Beck is trying to make, that we should be eager to foster silence- in that we can reflect and even get answers from those holy silences. Seems like most of you ‘commentators’ would simply benefit from SHUTTING UP!

As I am lds myself, I understand his thoughts completely. I know his heart and his desires and have him in my prayers as he has a small piece of a platform. He wants only the best for this country and his citizens. He needs our support as he is the idea man. God bless his endeavors. p.s. and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you very much for this deeply emotional message. My husband, a Marine Corps Veteran, passed away one year ago June 10th. I found it very consoling

Question 2…yes or no? The olde English confuses me.

You are A great, spirit, Glenn Beck, full of kindness, you have a willingness to seek the truth and to spread that truth to whom ever will listen. I believe GOD has a purpose for you and you are fulfilling that purpose, right now. You have helped me in so many ways and have turned my life around for the good of man. I believe you have saved me from the darkness of this world and the only way I can thank You (since I’m on S.S. and I don’t have much money) is to share your kindness, and willingness to seek and find the truth and spread that truth to others; and in turn, Praise and Honor Our LORD and Savior. This is what you have done for me. Thank You young man You are after-all,are an “Earth Angel” Your Sister in Christ Jesus, Connie.

Because all doctrine is sound doctrine, because every faith tradition stands in truth although mutually exclusive right? Thats illogical sir. Some are complete lies, some contain various degrees of truth. The standard for truth is the Word of God, where authority lies. Earthly institutions and men are corruptable. Please stop with the “everyone can be correct” nonsense. Thats just not the reality. If you dont understand the concept of loving correction, rebuking then you have much more to learn.

Why cant we just leave folks alone? Bc souls are at stake, and I will continue doing what I am doing seizing the opportunity to cut down imitators and counterfeits. Why? Because I hate? No because I love. I do not create my own standards concerning the law, sin, salvation, God has established these truths in his Word and I stand in its authority. Did Paul take the opportunity to cut down false teachers and heretical teaching? You bet! Read the Epistles.

That’s a positive comment. There never should be cursing on the TV or anywhere. If Glenn is guilty of that weakness, I hope he reads it, appreciates it (which I would think he would), and changes it.

Thank you Glenn. That was beautiful! When overcome by challenges, we need to
surrender it to God, stay calm and listen to that still, small voice and follow the guidance received. I love the work that you do. I have a deep respect for your courage and honesty. Thank you for taking a stand on so many important issues today. All the best to you and your family. You are in my prayers.

Glenn,
The first step is the easy one to take, but you have done it.
Prayers go with you!

“He also said:

“I don’t care what you buy or what you listen to. That’s your business. But it wastes my time just like you’re doing now. Bye.””

Yes, he did. But you chose to highlight the comment to Beck, and you mischaracterized what he said.

“I see you’re still smarting from myself, and others, identifying your narcissistic propensities. ”

I’ve noted that it seems important to you to think so, and I’ve noted that you may someday come to grips with that. Meanwhile, suffice to note that the accusation of “narcissism” is appearing with a frequency that suggests a verbal tic or habit, rather than rational thought. It’s not a particularly creative or high-order line of thought that attributes to one’s opponents some mental disorder. It’s more revealing that you think it rational or persuasive.

“That you think you are the arbiter of rational discourse…”

Let’s ignore the irony implicit in the way you entered this thread for the moment, and deal with the surface meaning. I feel free to offer my thoughts, and will continue to do so. That you see me as an arbiter suggests more about how you see me than about how I see myself. The frequency with which your conversations are including me as a subject, rather than as simply a participant, also suggests that you are getting a bit obsessed with interpersonal relationships rather than substantive topics. It suggests to me that it’s probably not productive to continue to indulge you on these meta conversational digressions.

“You certainly haven’t made many friends on Frontpage with your arrogance and dishonesty-by-obfuscation.”

I’m not here to make friends. I have plenty of those. I’m here to talk about subjects that interest me and to enjoy stimulating and challenging conversation. There are people on here with whom I find that, even if I strongly disagree with some or most of their positions and approaches. Where I see second-rate thinking attached to topics I care about, I point that out. When I see second-rate thought defended, not by rational argument, but attempts to discredit the speaker, that attracts my attention in a special way. That bothers you, and Daniel. That’s good. You need to be bothered about that. If it causes you to think more carefully about what you write, that is a good thing.

My ancestors were likewise closely tied to Joseph Smith and I have a different view than you. A family connection to Church history does not one an expert make. Leave a doctrinal discussion for another place.

Glenn’s musing had nothing to do with doctrine but rather what we all ought to be doing to be better human beings.

Thank you, Glenn. My dad is a retired farmer (in fact, I come from a family that has farmed for over 130 years!) My dad says his happiest times were out on the tractor-this is before tractors had radios, air conditioning, etc. True peace comes only as we sit and listen to The Lord, as you do. Keep on keepin’ on, Glenn and God bless you!

hahahah – the same person that appointed you official troll.

The writers are expressing 1. their gratitude for Glenns words and/or 2. their benefits from silent reflection.
Either way I doubt Glenn was encouraging anyone to shut up.

This is my first time posting. I am appalled at what I have read to the point I had to say something about this. WHAT in the world is wrong with some of you people ? We are all on our own journey through this oh so temporary life. I’m glad that Glen makes it possible to let some of us know that we are not alone on our journey. Thanks Glen ! I want thank Aunt Erma as well…! I am sick to death of who’s opinion is right or who’s opinion is wrong. One mans truth is another mans lie! Some people only want to hear everybody’s opinion so they can have something to argue about. Personally, I seek not your approval or validation. Know-it-alls, Don’t tread on me! Fight for what you believe, right or wrong, but don’t you judge me. It’s not your job. As far as which Church doctrine is true or false or which preacher is right or wrong. There is NO building (Church) and NO man that can SAVE anyone.. it is for God only to judge and save, that’s his JOB. We are not judged according to groups, but as individuals. I thank God for that !

Ha ha nailed his butt to the wall. Lol.

Glenn- I have been with you since the first day you came to Philly radio, when you arrived from Tampa. You said to stick with you for 3 weeks and you will appreciate your format. I did. I was with you through the ADHD days, the U of Penn psychiatrist, etc. I am writing to tell you to be more cautious than you usually are in whom you befriend. There are some acquaintences who are causing you to be depressed. Your tone, written and spoken has changed. You are less focused than you used to be. You are leww lighthearted. I realize that the communist who is president and his communist running mates have set in place schemes which will bring the country down, if fully implemented. I think that coming elections might cut some of this off at the knees. That’s allwe can do-work and hope. All I am saying is to really closely evaluate those who are close to you (not your family or your mates on the air!).

We LOVE you, Glenn!! Keep moving forward following Proverbs 3:5-6 and you will be fine as long as you allow Him to direct your path!!

(5 ¶Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Sham on you ! I don’t care who you are or where you claim you are from, GOD says ” If you don’t have anything good to say about someone, don;t say anything at all.

Sounds like a socialist rearing his ugly head.

Actually, Glenn sounds MORE focused than he use to be. Outside of his rants about the government the way every other talk host does he’s probably more relaxed than he has been in the history of forever.

I never claimed my family history made me an expert. It just spurred me to research it. I am free to discuss doctrinal matters in this forum, correct? Were there some rules posted somewhere that I missed?

I answered #2. If you don’t like the answer, do some more homework. (hint, read your Bible).

Such beautiful thoughts Glenn! My admiration for you grows daily. You are an inspiration to us all in many ways, probably more than you realize! God most assuredly has chosen you because you are already the best in every way. Don’t count yourself short my friend.

Huh? The questions were pretty straight forward, or so I thought.

You cannot save, Only GOD can, and if the person is willing to be save. he will. Who do you think you are anyway, Glenn is a wonderful young Spirit, will to help (not ridicule ) people. why dont you go somewhere else, we don’t need your criticism.

Herculean advice! Thanks for expressing this!!!

Glenn: The reason for your consternation is your failure to be honest with your audience. You failed to communicate the problem & its solution to our nation’s problem. You knew the answer would destroy your future earnings, so you joined the power & greed leadership of this nation.

You must be talking about D.c.! Hollywood, the kennedys, blumenthals, Chicago politicians , and of course, the community organizers and lets not forget the Clinton s

Haha. The “judge not” comes out. He did not condemn anyone to hell, physically stone anyone, or make a hypocritical judgement. He is confronting doctrine that is incongruous with Scripture. Did you know that exhortation is a Spritual Gift? Rom12. So is the discerning of spirits. 1Cor12. Did you know that Paul was a fierce opponent of heretical church teaching as were all of the Apostles?

There is so much about recognizing false teachers, false doctrine, offering loving correction and calling the sinner to repentance in Scripture its hard to know even where to begin. Its all over heres a starter.

Eph5:11, John7:24, 2Cor11:12, Mat7:15, Rom16:17, 1John4:1, 2Tim4:2, 1Tim5:20, James5:20,

My hope is that you Glenn and as many as possible have a right relationship with God through his Son. In the context of a short discussion like this its unclear. I do admire some of Glenns work. God bless. Much love. Keep it holy!

So, “Man can inherit all that God hath”, as in omnipotence and omnipresence. I’ll mark that as a yes. That means you believe in many gods, thus polytheism.

“Figure it out yourself” the voice whispers.
The voice of God? Direction of the Spirit? You decide.
1John 4:1

Excellent. Thanks for your nice comment.

Stay focused, Glenn. Please. The things you say when you go all what other people say is “new-agey” is worth the price of all the rest of the time you do the usual “interchangeable commentator” political talking points. Silence, relaxing in “the one” and nature is what God is all about.

Yes if we get quiet GOD will talk to us in our spirit just like you know in your knower it is him talking. We have to meditate and read GOD’S HOLY WORD. He speaks to us when we are quiet and we listen!

Dear heart, folks were complaining about beck and harping about all manner of issues. I feel they’re missing the point Glenn was trying to make. Thus My remark that they could benefit from practicing silence as well. Beck wasnt telling anyone to shut up. I was…

But…who do you Glenn, say who I Am?

In other words … you’re a human living on Earth.

Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity and alike have made themselves millionaires at criticizing the left. By your logic, the left must be spot on.

Keep spinning. It’s what you do best. I don’t expect a narcissist to accept the truth about themselves. They never do. Obama is another example of narcissism run amok, which, as I recall, was what got you all worked up about diagnosing people as narcissists. Again, too bad. The truth hurts, especially when you are narcissistic.

“It’s not a particularly creative or high-order line of thought that attributes to one’s opponents some mental disorder. It’s more revealing that you think it rational or persuasive.”

You’re projecting your own self-aggrandizing agenda with that drivel. I’m not worried about appearing creative or high-minded when identifying the traits of mental disorders in opponents. I’m only interested in the truth. Identifying these traits is instructive since it puts a context to the opponents bias.

Creativity has nothing to do with truth, but it is essential for effectively lying or obscuring the truth. That was a serious slip-up on your part. Who but a liar thinks truth is a creative endeavor? As for “high-minded” lines of thought, you flatter yourself if you think your pretentiousness and ostentation are high-minded, but I suppose it does satisfy your grandiose self-image. I’ve always been of the opinion that expressing the truth is the highest-minded, even when it annoys narcissists.

You see everyone who doesn’t share your ideology as a second rate thinker. You tried to defend Americana’s idiotic theories about Benghazi being the fault of the Joint Chiefs, even going so far as to defend her saying that the Joint Chiefs have autonomy in the chain of command. You’ve been trying to walk it back ever since.

You also vigorously tried to assert that the Taliban had nothing to do with Al Qaeda’s 9/11 plot. Of course, you contradicted yourself at least once, and squirmed, parsed, and quibbled to avoid admitting you were wrong. Well here is a little gift for you:

http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/their-911-role_794957.html

Let the convoluted denial begin.

This leave me wondering what is coming next? You seem to have total trust in God in all your life. That is hard to do because of our humanness but it is what sustains us.

How much unbelief exists in the minds of the Latter-day Saints in regard to one particular doctrine which I revealed to them, and which God revealed to me—namely that Adam is our father and God.
“ ‘Well,’ says one, ‘Why was Adam called Adam?’ He was the first man on the earth, and its framer and maker. He with the help of his brethren brought it into existence. Then he said, ‘I want my children who are in the spirit world to come and live here. I once dwelt upon an earth something like this, in a mortal state. I was faithful, I received my crown and exaltation’ ”(Brigham Young, Deseret News, June 18, 1873, 308)

Glenn,
I perceive that we hear the same Voice and are remarkably on the same path. We look within, where He dwells and strive to make it a clean habitation. We look without to see the course of all mankind, and with Him, we grieve and we rejoice. We look forward and understand where mankind’s course will take us all, that our personal journey is one step at a time, that obedience or selfishness change our world but does not change His, and we steel ourselves to remember that in the midst of Grace or Judgment that we must STAND, clothed in the armor. And mercifully, we look up, remembering that He IS and through it all, He is clothed in majesty and He will not be moved.

That statement is an anomaly. No one is sure if the secretary or transcriptionist who was writing that day miswrote or mistranscribed it, but it is not consistent with our beliefs about God the Father and is NOT doctrine.

How about this?

When our father Adam came into the garden of Eden, he came into it with a celestial body, and brought Eve, one of his wives, with him. He helped to make and organized this world. He is MICHAEL, the Archangel, the ANCIENT OF DAYS! about whom holy men have written and spoken—HE is our FATHER and our GOD, and the only God with whom we have to do” (Brigham Young, in the Journal of Discourses, 1:50).

Yes Chad, it is that simple. Either you believe that God is the alpha and omega, and there shall be no other God, or you believe there are many gods, including you someday. The latter is not a Christian teaching.

I have sent you a couple of video recordings of songs that I think fit exactly what you were talking about this AM> I hope you get them. They were sent as a gift.

You’re really a jerk.

You are really a child of Satan, aren’t you?

Pathetic! These to articles are identical, no doubt orchestrated by the left, AND they are 4 years old. They simply have a different take on Glenn’s report, they don’t refute anything.

No dear your implying that I am saying he doesn’t have the right to speak it. You telling me not to read it shows you think like a child. You make no sense Calee ! The very reason the boards are here is for opinion. Nothing you said addresses my point!
Beck’s rise was because he addressed the real problems. The problems of political correctness our country is choking on. Now his shows are all about him and full of drama. I’m disappointed Calee because with a platform like Becks he might have made a difference. I believe now all he is doing is justifying his existence on radio by pretending it’s his calling over broadcast television ! Very sad!

Jesus isn’t trying to empower us; HE is the power and wants us to surrender to him and accept His holy spirit. He entered Jerusalem on a donkey as the Lamb of God the first time, but the next time the world sees Him He will be on a white horse in the thunder; triumphant. He saves the world from the destruction of the progressives, not us. . . . And no, we do not have all we need, only God can save the world from the nuclear annihilation that lays in wait. Glenn, I love you bro, but you need to build a bunker and get a radio with a really, really big antenna.

“You see everyone who doesn’t share your ideology as a second rate thinker.”

Not at all. Apart from the question of what you imagine my “ideology” to be, there are some people on these forums with whom I strongly disagree, and whose tactics I’ve even questioned, who are nonetheless capable of making strong and clear arguments and supporting them. Objrctivefactsmatter and AZ pop immediately to mind. Texas Patriot is one of the more independent-minded and capable thinkers on the boards. I disagree strongly with his evaluation of Islam, but he clearly has thought out his positions, supports them well, and is open to contrary points of view.

Let’s look at what your article says. It leads off by reiterating “Mohammad Fazl, who served as the Taliban’s army chief of staff and deputy defense minister prior to his detention at Guantánamo, did not have a hand in planning the actual 9/11 hijackings. “. That rather reinforces my position.

The article then goes on to state that AQ made itself indispensable to Taliban attempts to overcome Northern Alliance resistance so that, after 9/11, the Taliban would be more likely to continue to support AQ.

Now think about that for a moment. That entire thought process strongly reinforces what I have said all along: namely, that nothing we gave learned so far suggests that the Taliban knew about 9/11 beforehand. Your own article tells us that the assassination of Massoud and the subsequent offensive was designed to insulate AQ against possible blowback when the Taliban discovered the extent of AQ’s activities.

No need to argue. The article you provided is excellent evidence exactly as presented. Thanks.

Beck said it was in his presence. Beck told Graham that G-d was telling him to leave Fox . Beck said there were others in the room and that one of them reminded Graham that Beck is a Mormon. Implying that maybe it wasn’t G-d directing Beck. Beck said that Graham stated that he was aware of Becks faith and believed the message to be from G-d to leave Fox.

Hiernonymouse likes toadies. You’ll do just fine. With a “ha ha” and an “LoL,” you have qualified for his coterie of “rational thinkers.” Birds of a feather.

You can’t serve two masters.

Glenn your ADD is making ME go nuts. Show constantly changing direction, your definition of right vs. wrong in constant flux… I stay in confusion as to who you are and what you stand for right now vs. 8 hours ago vs. 6 weeks ago, etc. etc.

Recognizing the destination is most of the battle. Realizing that you want to be a better person for those around you should be everyone’s destination. Sadly, most don’t ever recognize this. Keep the vision of those you love in your heart and you will have a wonderful journey. Enjoy the memories and the silence.

It’s almost time to start your own country, Glenn.

Glenn I have followed you for a long time. I see how close you are to a tough
reality, one that is not popular, is not left of right. I know your fight because I have fought it, and fight it, everyday too.

The fact is that we worship the gifts and not the giver, so we cherish America and the flag but we do not make the connection that these are just the return address, the signature, of the One who gives. In and of itself it is worthless and nothing is
anything except that God gives it. God gave America to the world, that is what makes it great, not the men that received the gift or that abuse the gift.

George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, whoever else, they are all flawed men of corrupt character who knew that God was the one of pure character. They knew because they knew themselves better than anyone. Their glory is that God choose to use them. If you look close you can see that is the case, for they all have their flaws to the very end.

In the end all is vanity, as it says:

“Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.”

The fact is we worship these men because we want to worship ourselves. We want the status of feeling, that the flesh desires, in the sense of victory and the place at the top of the summit. We want to be great. Or as you say,

“It is the simple things that makes a man great. The way he treats his wife, his children and those who CANNOT help him advance in his career or goals. It is the simple repeated act of choosing love over anger, peace instead of hate, forgiveness over revenge and courage over comfort.”

But man is not great, only one Man was great, and only One was good, “for only God is Good,” and only One Man made these authentic choices all the time (or could make them all the time). The Truth that sets us free is that we can never be what our flesh vainly desires but One has already been that and we can live inside Him.

So when we treat our wives and children well, when our career flourishes, we find that it was not our choice, for as you said, we desire the opposite of Love most of the time. We learn, in those moments of silence in the place of Peace you mentioned, that God compelled our choice in our weakness his strength came out.

Understanding your weakness and utter futility leads to the strength of Christ.
So I wish to challenge your notion that:

“He doesn’t want the power. He wants to empower us.”

I would say look at the Old Testament, who is the great man? Who did not fail and fall and doubt and kill, and fornicate and a bunch of other bad stuff not recorded? What person in the Old Testament would you like to be and have as your legacy if you could exchange places? The greatest David is as checkered as they come, for that is all man can be, and that beautiful reality is the only thing that can make you love Jesus, and not love him just to advance one’s human desires (or dare I say career).

In the end, great men knew God and that is all.

If we are Christians, then we need a Savior, if we need a Savior than we admit all we are not. In this place, the place that does not point at human role models but at Christ, this place is where power resides. The most humbling part of following Christ is when he lets you run off a bit so you can see that you have not really changed you have just been in his presence, if he let you go you would return to you. Maybe you don’t do the same “sins” but you will master a new way to be an A-hole.

Our Savior does not save in a single act but in a never ending eternal action. If we say we are not sinners, says the Apostle John, then we make Jesus a liar, if we admit our sinful nature, then His Blood cleans us over and over again!

Great men find silence in Jesus that silence is called His Righteousness.

It is hard to find this reality in the world because the media, by its very nature, is all about human primacy. The head-shot, the resume, “what do you do for living?” The championships, the money, the things called success and legacy, all a fraud
cast upon what are a ephemeral physical life and a temporal world. But whether you watch ESPN, the OWN network, or Fox News, it is all about who man is or the tearing down of what you thought a man was!

Your frustration is that you are attempting to make permanent that which is in, and always will be in, constant decay. There will always be three more fires and always four more holes in the dike of this planet because the only thing that keeps it alive is what flows from heaven, from the Source of life to this dead sponge called earth.

If you build your house on the sand of who you are, you will rebuild again, but there is one stone on which you can build, or let Him build. You will not get a legacy and you will not feel personal achievement. But you will have a testimony and that will change lives and Jesus will shine through you like the sun and your life will stop being putting out fires and start being the moments of Peace and Shalom.

I do not think that God is silent to empower you, but so that you will trust he is doing the work even though you are not in control and are not CEO of any of it. Even though your flesh says the world is going to “hell.”

Preach love, preach the putting away of sins, preach the man Jesus and Resurrected God Jesus. The rest is always going to leave you wanting, leave you like Jefferson and Adams must have felt as they passed writing in their beds, wondering what they had or had not done, feeling the winning argument had not yet been penned….but, I am sure, yearning to be with the Lord.

The fact is we can just be with the Lord right now. In his light you will see your last sunset. You can be rest assured you are not a good man Glenn, just as I am not, but I know you are a great man, because God is with you, and God is putting it on display for all to see.

How can you be any greater and how can any be greater….in Jesus Christ.

Love always….

Glenn,

I feel the truth of your words in my heart and they remind me of a friend named Jan De Hartog. Unfortunately, my friend is now deceased. He was a Dutch writer who Hitler banned and even put a bounty on his head. He barely escaped the Nazis in Holland, at one time hiding in a nursing home dressed as an old woman, kind of like Achilles hiding from Odysseus.

Jan wound up coming to the U.S. on a sailboat, improved his English and began writing novels for an American audience. His works often focus on the sea, WWII and spirituality. He was nominated for a Pulitzer for one of his books. He also exposed in a non-fiction book the horrific conditions of the charity hospital in Houston during the 1960s and was run out of town by its embarrassed citizens.

Here is a little fable he wrote that applies to you today.

“There was a hellish thirst on two frogs and they needed a drink of water.
They spied a bucket that was sure to be full of water. Jumped the two frogs
into the bucket. Yuck! It was not water in the bucket. Milk it was! So, the two
frogs swam with all their strength to stay afloat. The frogs grew very tired
before too long. The first frog threw the fiddle on the roof [gave up] shortly
afterwards. He was drowned. The second frog was not wanting to die, so he
continued to struggle. He believed that he could succeed. He kept swimming with
all his strength. And then – a raft of butter passed by and he was saved.

There we are! You may not know what results will come of your efforts, but
you must keep at it anyway.”

Love the way you reply as “Guest”, nice to hide behind, you in the closet? or moms basement?

I hope I know about it as am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Yuck

And you are a chickensh— “Guest”, if you have so much to say that’s so “earth shattering” don’t hide…

Finally – we are hearing from Stephen Covey’s replacement.

doing our homework each one of us…on our journey…alone and together at the same time…some things about my church I do not like…but I pray He will show me why I must agree with the church…look at all the evil in world today…we cannot fix it alone…Lord help us…without His love we have nothing..stuff doesn’t bring us joy…at all…

For me, Glenn, you give me and I expect millions, hope and a sense that our point of view and voice is out there in the arena competing to define a better way. We know our country is being dismantled by progressive ideologs and you represent the tip of our spear to push back or at least say to the next generation, “there is a way, historically proven to be a better way than the progressive clap trap you have been propagandized with all of your life.” For this voice of truth, liberty and individual freedom against exploding central government statism and the price you pay to deliver it, I am humbled and grateful that you pay it for those of us unable. That may not be your ultimate purpose or what you should be doing, but it is a damn good warm up act for whatever you discover may be your higher calling.

You “implore” Glenn to search out the origins of the Church and then note, “I am qualified to say this because my family history is CLOSELY tied to your first prophet…”

Isn’t that attempting to qualify oneself as an “expert”?

Indeed, you are free to discuss doctrinal matters in this forum; however, given the nature of Beck’s musing, one would hope you would have better judgement than to raise your issues with the Church in such a forum as this.

I love apologetics; however, this is not the place for such an exchange so I will not engage you further here.

By homework. Did you listen to others about the church or read about the church from others who think they know all about it? Or, did you attend the church and read the Book of Mormon (its not that thick and can be read in a short time), and other church writings? Because if you only went on hearsay you probably know very little about the church. As far as knowing people who go way back in the history of the church. Are they active members or were they themselves ever members? Even leaders of our church have family members that never joined or joined but fell away and trash it to justify why they left. Don’t think that doesn’t happen in all faiths. Think again.

That about says it all.

Look guys, answer their dribble and they have succeeded in steering the conversation here. Ignore them, and focus on the positive message of this post by Glenn. Some people will hate, some will try to distract, and others will do the typical liberal progressive tactic of distract, discredit, and destroy. Let Glenn’s words stand on their own, some will receive it and others won’t. The truth presented here will stand on its own. Thank you Glenn for being transparent in this post.

Keep working, Glenn – patiently! We always want instant solutions for what came on us slowly – over many, many years – when we were mentally asleep at the switch.
Repeat – work patiently – most of the fruits of our efforts come after we’ve finished our work. We are not responsible for the crop – our job is to plant and cultivate. He gives the results at His time.
Now stop contemplating your navel and get on with it!

Thank u, Glenn. You have stood strong against many negatives, too many to count, and appreciate you risking one more time sharing your soul with us. We all truly need ‘silence’ to just listen to our inner most being, and thank the Lord for HIS MERCIFUL PATIENCE with our stupidity and self-centered thinking. My deepest desire also is to appreciate all we as Americans have had and still have — let’s all STOP COMPLAINING and be silent if there is nothing good left to speak.

I don’t agree with everything Glenn says, but he’s not a coward like you. Those links are by and for imbeciles and truth-twisters, btw.

Boy are you way off. Adam is not God in LDS doctrine and never has been. Yes he will be Michael the arc angel. Jesus under Gods direction created Adam and then Eve. How can he be God then. That has never and was never part of LDS doctrine. Just because you throw a bunch of garbage out there does not make it true. As far as the golden plates that is the Book of Mormon before good old printing presses printed off the copies.

Unfortunately the powers that be are always at work 24/7 feeding the ground dwellers negative info to feed the ever increasing race-baiting, hate, killing, mentally unbalanced & our needs as spiritual feeders be given a negative title of some kind causing us to not keep the right info to feed our spiritual side & they will always find ways to feed the hateful rage of the natural human instead of what we all really need & that is a confident trust & relationship with Our Creator so when He does speak to us we can/need to ask for the Spirit of Discernment so we will not be misled into believing any of Our enemies B.S. I am so grateful that Our God did leave us with the necessary tools We all need to have in this current age We are living in because it is better to have knowledge with the Wisdom of the Lord to be an instrument of God to Spread the Truth of God to Our Country & give all the choices that are available because God gave us all the gift of Free Will. The enemy still has to ask Our God for permission to do anything since he tried to overthrow God & take His Throne because when he pulled that off, all angels lost their right of free will. The only reason that our God would give him a yes to do something is because it will bring the lost to their knees & the ability for God to be their choice since the enemies true intentions would be exposed & the needing individual would suddenly see what Our true enemy has in store and all of his plans for man kind become very apparent. I am also very glad that We have been given the most important right to decide where We want to spend Eternity in Heaven with our Creator Father God who is All LOVE or in Eternal misery with the Evil one forever & ever. The fact that Our Creator has given us all that choice shows all that Our God did not want to make us all puppets without a choice & for all of this I say Praise God For He Is Worthy !!!!

“Jesus isn’t trying to empower us;” – Huh?
Do you mean He already has? Or do you mean that’s not our role to be empowered? How do you deal with Matt 28:18-20 – just for starters?

Seems to bea pandering and emotional need. “Christians” always hear that still small voice and never lack for a crowd to yell “AMEN”. Actually, every time the self acclaimed prophet has a brain fart he is hearing a new message from GOD. There is no such thing as “can we all just get along”, and all of biblical history proves that. God does not work that way, and standing with those whose only objective is to destroy is godly self delusion. Sooooo, when where you hearing from God. before, or now?????? You will stand with GLAD? I will not stand with GLAD, ever, if GLAD wants to join ME in standing against gay violence, fine, but I do not support evil. There is too much to say to fit it in a comment, but, let me just say…….simply because this goes against your “voice”, does not follow that you must be right and it is the Satan attacking you.

BIGGGGG DEALLL!!!

No he listens to the holy ghost who is Gods messenger to everyone who listens and has the gift of the holy ghost. For those that have not accepted the gift of the holy ghost but are willing to listen there is the spirit of Christ that can guide you too.

“Takes ONE to Know One…”NOW, we know WHO YOU are…! SHAMELESS!!

I’ll pray for you, “Guest,” that your eyes be opened and your heart as well, and that some peace comes to you. I sense it is missing. And so … I will pray for you.

AGAIN…”Takes ONE to Know one…” I GET it. You’re looking in a mirror…(House of Mirrors…Can’t get out???)

I do not like where the US or Canada is going and where Europe has already gone. Europe has turned their backs on GOD and are morally bankrupt. USA and Canada are quickly eliminating any vestige or even right to believe and follow JESUS. Few even believe in GOD or have so bastardized the one GOD into Oprah’s anything people want is god is their god. Science has abandoned GOD in favour of evolution and UFO”S. BUT GOD said all this must happen “a great falling away” before the END comes. I hate that so many are willing to accept the fallacies of evolution and UFO’s and dismiss the Historical prophecy fulfilled confirmed validation of GOD and JESUS the Christ (King of Kings). My hope rests not on this earth or it’s countries or rulers but in Thessalonians where JESUS is promised to come in the AIR to collect those who Confess and Believe and are Watching for HIS return to RAPTURE and whisk us away. JESUS answered the disciples that the END TIME will occur before the generation that was alive when ISRAEL was reborn, dies. Salvation through JESUS was extended to gentiles so that JEWS would be jealous (Romans) and would accept JESUS as their Saviour . The Rapture will surely make Jews jealous once the Antichrist takes out his hate and venom on them. Even so Jews are welcome in the Rapture as this was GOD’s desire for them from the beginning.
Some Jews like the rest of us, take longer to convince than others and some will perish eternally because they refuse GOD’s Free Gift of Salvation from sin, of JESUS sinless life and resurrection witnessed by 537 contemporaries. A miracle which led to thousands of converts becoming martyrs in the Roman Coliseum. They gave their lives because they believed in JESUS, as the Son of GOD and sinless sacrifice for their sins.
This is the End Time for the Rapture, then 7 year Tribulation, 31/2 years of persecution of the 5 unready virgins Matthew (name only Christians) followed by 31/2 years of persecution of Jews and anyone associated with GOD and JESUS, followed by JESUS coming to Earth to save HIS children; Jews and gentiles who believe in HIM. Then JESUS destroys the Antichrist, and HIS enemies sending them to JUDGEMENT for eternity. Finally a millennium of Peace on Earth blessed by the rule of JESUS as KING of KINGS and David.
All the world demands Miracles to prove the existence of JESUS but the miracles coming will deceive many. BELIEVE and TRUST in JESUS or you will spend eternity in HELL. The miracles soon to come will be frauds created by the Antichrist and the Satan to mislead and convince you to follow and Continue your Life on the EASY road. Accepting JESUS during the 7 year Tribulation period may cost you your Life!
Glen and Catholics you think you can change the course of life on Earth to bring about Peace on Earth, but YOU and I, Humans, can NOT! Only JESUS will put down the Devil and those following the Devil to bring in Peace on Earth for the millennium to come. I know this is a change from what Christians have always worked toward, making our world better by spreading the Gospel of JESUS the Christ but as you can see in and on the Media and TV and Music and Movies that society, humankind has rejected the few rules GOD gave us in favour of unbridled freedom of thought and actions, regardless of reason or consequences, rejecting the accountability that used to accompany personal action. GOD did not want this to happen but GOD did tell us people professing to be wise would be FOOLS. GOD told us these things will happen before GOD stops it all, soon, by sending JESUS to stop the carnage people will cause. My Hope and Rest lies in believing and waiting for my King JESUS to come!

Boy, are you way off. LDS doctrine is readily available these days for anyone to research. Golden Plates translated by peering into a hat, bank fraud, murder, the sexual deviancy of Smith and Young, the Book of Abraham and yes, the Adam God doctrine are all there. Having said that, I don’t care if you howl at the moon, just be honest about it.

So…Where’s the constructive part…or are you already destructed?? Where are YOUR answers…instead of just tearing down someone? Oh, You don’t really HAVE any answers? Kinda POINTLESS, ain’t it?

Ah, RELEVANCE…THAT is the issue!

“Creativity has nothing to do with truth, but it is essential for effectively lying or obscuring the truth. That was a serious slip-up on your part. Who but a liar thinks truth is a creative endeavor?”

Aristotle? Galileo? Michelangelo? Da Vinci? Copernicus? Newton? Einstein?

How interesting that you so strongly associate creativity with dishonesty and deception.

Maybe we are another Babylon in exile.

Glenn.. I am reminded of Prov. ch 3 v.5-6 .. Trust in the Lord with all your heart… yes for us believers it means “all” our hearts… do not lean on your own understanding… oh how much easier life would be if we could just figure it all out.. the third part… in all your ways acknowledge Him… and you do it so clearly…. the last part.. He will make your paths straight.. another version… He will direct your steps..” These two verses in Proverbs are this years life scriptures …

Re: Dave Posh,

As Glenn is such a wonderful writer, I must say that so are you. In a few sentences you managed to acknowledge glenn’s thoughts and intentions as well as giving him encouragement.

Your acknowledgement also verified the great impact that Glenn’s thoughts expressed on a daily basis on his radio and TV shows has on his vast audience. It is impossible for me to add anything to what he has said and written, nor can I add to your sentiments about glenn beck.

Thank you fo expressing the thoughts of millions of his audience.

Your the one not being honest. Never knew the Urum and Thummin were hats. They were translators. A modern version might be an iPod for languages. Did you know that the governor of Missouri in Joseph Smiths time issued an extermination order against Mormons. Was just repealed in the 1980′s or 90s. One of those old laws still on the books. Why was it issued. Because Mormons basically opposed slavery and Missouri was a pro slavery state. Problem was all these pesky Mormons kept moving into the state and threatened the pro slavery majority into becoming a minority. So with the extermination order clearing the way to legally kill mormans they proceeded to do just that. Next thing you know there were a lot of widows with no husband and orphans with no fathers. Some children were killed also. Joseph Smith never had more than one wife. His wife said no and that was the final word on that. You see only 3% of mormans ever participated in plural marriage and the first wife had to agree. Then there was that part where you had to prove to church leaders that you could afford to support the extra members you wanted to bring into the family. Brigham Young could.

Re: Elizabeth Johnson,

I realize that this message will have no impact on your trespassing onto this and I’m sure many other sites with your advertisement of what is without a doubt another scam.

if it were a legitimate enterprise, you could use the internets thousands of free venues and social networks to get your message out.

Even though I realize that this message will mean nothing to you, I must make the attempt.

Glenn, you belong to a religious group that I have great differences with … many, many differences. In all honesty, I have to say that your words here and in other posts of yours, are as earnest and faith based as I could ever ask for. Well thought out and well written. I am still one of your “number one” fans.

Glenn Beck, you have a calling on your life. Don’t worry if you feel unsure at times, or frightened at times.Even Moses felt that way. God had to say to him, “Why do you cry out to me? Just lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it.” In other words, when God anoints you to do something, He has already given you the power to do it. Just DO it and don’t worry about it. God is FOR you, so WHO can be against you?

Ah — the scent of freshly mown alfalfa!

“Atheists” always seem compelled to add their “look at me” voice to the mix. The cruel drivel and self sustaining smugness always seems to be there, as though you all attended a Satanic Ritual school for the correspondence required to get your best “digs” in. Nothing new there, Ben Y. The hammers of atheists and barbarians have been striking God’s anvil for thousands of years. You can throw your hammer in the worn out pile at the end of your life.

Re: Guest,

How about you pointing out the lies. no doubt glenn has been wrong at times about one thing or another, yet when its been pointed out, he has always apologized and made public corrections. i can’t say that about any of your presumed media heroes.

When making accusations it’s incumbent upon the accuser to provide the proof, otherwise you are nothing more than an idiot.

I grew up in the country and now live in the outskirts of Houston TX. My family sometimes understands my need, yes need to be left alone, to just sit and think. They don’t feel it for themselves, it’s one of my weird glitches in their eyes. My friends listen when I explain how the permanently retarded lawns and urban outdoors stresses me as much as being cooped up inside all day. The kind and empathic ones bring me small offerings of nature to settle me. I have as much trouble understanding our new world as you Glen seem to be having understanding the one I came from. All I can suggest is breathe. In through your nose and out through your mouth. Focus on this basis of life until the strain subsides and clarity comes. And warn you sometimes that clarity is a clarity of anger, real rage. Strange as it sounds sometimes that can be a really good thing.

I thought Glenn and his family have been attending a straight-on Christian church whose pastor is the well-known Robert Morris in Dallas/Fort Worth , Texas!? Dynamic church and very Biblically solid.

Yeah Blanco, you must be one of those “great christians”, the few who are going to make it to heaven. First, you have no idea what my beliefs are, but, I am totally dedicated to the G_d of Abraham. No, I do not beleive that only YOU self righteous “believers” are “saved”. Second, “look at me”?….don’t even know how you can glean that from my post. Third, I’m sure YOU also hear from “god”, but, G_d selects prophets and his qualifications are His alone. So you and your self righteous opinions are really irrelevant. It’s amazing how the emotionally crippled will fall for anything.

WOW, How incredible self righteous, not entirely surprising, you’re one to talk about double standard, and yes I would call out my allies if they acted that way.

Wow. Except for there actually being an extermination order, everything else you claim is inaccurate. As far as “next thing you know”, not even LDS.org claims that any were actually killed as a result of that order. Joe and Fanny did NOT have Emma’s approval. He did most certainly have other wives. He and Brigham were not good men, period. He “translated” the plates WHILE PEERING INTO HIS HAT. There are many other questionable doctrines, but mentioning them would be futile.

Re: Guest,
I read the links article and watched the video, it’s truly amazing that your inability to grasp that Beck , besides being a thinker is also an entertainer. without the ability to be entertaining when presenting a lesson on economics and the desire of the U.N. and President Obama to equalize results of economic activities worldwide, no one would listen or watch. That’s the reason that so many people like you are ignorant of economic principles. There is no doubt that Obama at the very least wants to equalize outcome. Human nature will defeat him in the long run. There is an old saying that if you took all the wealth and redistribute it, within 10-20 years the same people would again hold most of the wealth. that is a direct result of human behavior. Some work harder than others and some are smarter than others. In addition, wealth is not something that remains stagnant, but is constantly changing ownership.

allow me to point out that you are not a great and creditable critic of glenn Beck since your ability to grasp facts are greatly lacking.

Fred Speckmann
commonsenseforamericans@yahoo.com

I actually tried being polite in my earlier response, but reading your continuing insults to people commenting on your post truly proves that you are a twit. And I say this with all due respect that you so dearly deserve.

Fred

Again, self righteous….

Re: Steve Richards,

You are of course correct, but it is so difficult to ignore twits like him who have nothing positive of their own to offer.

Thank you.

Hmm never even saw pictures of him wearing a hat.lol You don’t care for history do you. If you can show decendents of more than one wife of Joseph Smith have at it. They don’t exist. Now Brigham Young has loads of decendents of his plural marriages. Forty Niners former quarterback Steve Young is one. I have known others. Large family.lol

Re: Guest,
In my retort to you above, if you open your eyes you will see my full name and email address. personally I have always found it sad that people don’t sign their names if they have something to say. I enjoy engaging in debate with people, but they all should have the courage to sign their name.

On the other hand I can understand wanting to be incognito in the times we live in, but by doing so we give in to the twits in our world.

Thank you Glenn,
Real? I believe you are. Truth? We all, or most of us, are honest. Genuine? You betcha! Love? Real love and compassion comes from Him through the Spirit in us.
( and I know you have Him)
Some people ( I believe this to be fewer than many) can be , untruthful, a lier, dis ingenuous, hateful and a non believer. These are the opposites for what I described about you above.
It’s ok… To stop, think and listen. Remember “peace be still”. Then He will knock. And you Glenn, you Will open that door.
Real….Yes you are

As far as the murders that did happen. Guess being driven out of the state of Missouri was done by the anti Mormons asking them nicely to leave their homes, businesses and farms without being compensated for the value of their property. Don’t know of many people who would willingly do that. Most people would need some incentive like at the barrel of a gun or from a mob running you out.

Not our doctrine. As with the other quote, it may have been recorded incorrectly, or perhaps Brigham Young was postulating a theory he had at the time, but that is NOT what we teach or believe about God. Additionally, the Journal of Discourses is not scripture.

God bless you Glenn. We need to look back at where we have been to know where we are going and reflect on what we need to do to serve God. We many times have what we need because He has equipped us and other times we have to trust him to give us what we need at the time. Remember the disciples as they would go out to preach the gospel, God wanted them to trust him for the things they needed. Keep looking to Him and you will be just where He wants you to be.

We so miss you on fox bcause you were the ONLY one who told us the truth. You didn’t let the O administration scare you.I know I tried to do what I could to let people know what was really happening. When Obama won the second term we were frightened. We have 2years left with him. I know you know what harm he will cause. When you were on , at least we knew we had someone with power on our side. Now we have nowhere to go to hear the REAL TRUTH.

We are all in this together……and reduntantly ‘you are not alone’.

It is when a person quit questioning…they stagnate…if you remain the same year in year out…something is terribly wrong.
Have a safe,wonderful journey.

Guest, Did Obama lie when he said too many times to mention, “If you like your health care, you can keep your health care. If you like your doctor, you can keep your
doctor.” Just trying to understand what you believe a lie is.

Being run out of town is not murder. Perhaps LDS.org is wrong about that, and all those poor widows you claim really needed a husband. Gee, did those guys never hear of Christian charity? Why did sex have to be part of the deal? You are truly delusional. What do pictures you have or haven’t seen have to do with the facts? That is what he did. He had many wives. Both are easy to research, unless you’re lazy. Do you even deny Fanny??? LOL Deflect, deflect. deflect. Kirtland Bank scandal, murder, the Book of Abraham hoax, etc., etc., etc. You’re afraid of history, aren’t you? At least you are right about Brigham. Quite the perv.

Glenn, Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey. Each of us is on our own spiritual journey, and we may all go about it in a different way, but in the end we are all seeking the same thing. Please never let those voices of criticism stop you from sharing with us. Also the anti-LDS who have nothing better to do with their own miserable lives. Just chuck all that stuff and stay with us. I am sure there are times when you wonder why you have to be the one who is out there leading and enlightening us. It cannot be easy for you and your family. I can bet there are times when you would just love to kick back, watch something entertaining on TV and eat a bowl of popcorn. But you are out there because you have the courage that most of us do not have. Thank you so much for being that strong person that has the intestinal fortitude and conviction to do what you do. There are millions of us who appreciate you and what you stand for. God Bless America – we will win in the end.

“Life is a journey, we travel together, walking hand in hand, with our sisters and brothers . . . ” a beautiful song by the Monks of Weston Priory VT

Ditto and Amen!

Thank you Glenn. What you said was amazing. I want to be angry because I’m hurt that the country I love, the country I am so thankful for, that was paid for with the loss of the lives of others is being torn apart. I have hope, I pray for this Country. I also ask God how do I love the sinners that have done this, when I hate the sin and what it has done. In my feeble mind the two seem as one. I know I can only give that to God. Thank you for being bold and for putting God and your Faith up front for us all to see and learn from. And know that we do gather strength to do the same from your example. Thank you for listening to the Lord when he talks to you in that quiet voice. Please never feel alone, know that you, your family and the people you work with are in my prayers. Keep up the good fight.

Talk about deflect. Your a master at it. Still not one smidgen of proof of any decendents of other wives you say Joseph Smith had, which he did not. As far as calling them perv. Guess you feel the same of so many in the old testament or do you deny that happened also. So all those men and a few boys just dropped dead of heart attacks when they were driven out by the anti Mormons. Now who likes to deny history.

The glory is all His. His will be done, not ours. Many people find it hard to give up control, but it is essential.

Missouri executive order 44. Also known as the extermination order was an executive order issued on October 27th 1838 by the governor of Missouri, Lilburn Biggs. Boggs directed that the “Mormons must be treated as enemies and must be exterminated and driven from the state if necessary. Three days after the order was issued a group of men and young boys were killed by Livingston county militia in the Hauns Mill massacre. Many more died fleeing in the dead of winter. Seems they only had the most basic of supplies to survive the weather. Most did not have any shelter.

I hope some day to have a relationship with God, that you have. I have been on my path for 5 years now. It is slow. But I know when I get there it will be true. I hope you and your family have a blessed vacation with lots of down time. All of you need it so much. Thank you for keeping all of us glued together. I hope you understand that you give all of us that. Have fun !!

You know, this is touching and all but Glenn, this is also somewhat inappropriate. To put it simply, your conversations with the Lord are nobody else’s business and should not be anybody else’s business. I feel the same way about when you post video of your morning meetings and include in the video your morning prayer. I’ll quote from Matthew 6:5-6.
“5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
“6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into they closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.”
I suppose you might say “this isn’t a prayer” and I suppose technically you might be right but there’s a principle at work here and that principle definitely applies. I mean, you’re free to do whatever you want and broadcast this to the world so you can build your spiritual public image but, like Jesus Christ said, you have your reward and it’s apparent in all the comments here fawning all over this experience of yours. This is my one major annoyance with you, too much of what you share and do is too public. When you give several thousand or even over $100K to an organization as a charitable act, you don’t need to do it on TV or in front of a crowd. Oh well, you have your reward. If you’re really sincerely looking for what you need to do better to be a better man, father, and husband, then maybe keeping some things private would be a good start.
If you want to do good, then just do good. If you want to be a leader of men, then be a leader of men. However, God chooses those who he wants to be His spiritual leaders and unless I’m greatly mistaken, you have not yet been called as a prophet or apostle. You do a lot of good, but it is blemished and degraded when you try and engage in this public display of your spirituality and wisdom.

As long as you believe you can be a better person, you will be!!!!

I would say this Glenn…
What ever your discontent about the journey you’re on, you don’t know how far down the road you are, or when it may end or smooth out and become easier to travel. You have no reference point in the chaos we are charting through. No other Republic as ours has ever neared it’s end or been so close to have run it’s course. There is no direct comparison in history. However ask the question, “how far can you run IN to the woods” and you may be comforted by the answer. “Half Way”… because at the half way point, you are now running OUT of the woods, and nearing less hazardous terrain and enviroment. You don’t know and can’t see your destination because all you can see now is that you’re Still in the woods… but you may be just on the edge of the woods and about to enter sunlight and olen pastures. Pray that be the case, lest we don’t know how deep and vast the dark forest we are traveling through is, or may become. It could become darker and thicker and more unforgivable, or maybe beyond the next thicket we will stumble into warm sunlight, and a downhill path to redemption will appear for our nation. I fear Not the latter though. Sacrifice and hardship must fall on those who blazed this slothful trail of tears. Once “They” step into the light and so be disinfected, we may begin to restore and rebuild this once great nation, and end Our trail of sorrow and despair for it’s near ruin. GBA

I’m really surprised how so many here are wasting time an space trying to interact with a troll. PLEASE DON’T FEED THE TROLLS.

You are obsessed with the question of descendants! He had other wives, no matter how vehemently you deny it. Good grief, the historical record proves it. And again, what about Fanny, alone? Comparing the Old Testament to relatively modern sexual deviancy is ludicrous. Ever read the NEW Testament and what it says about marriage? Kirtland Bank, Book of Abraham, Baptism of the dead, the geological record disproving some of the nutty claims in the BOM; care tô opine? Why was Smith run out of Ohio? “Celestial Marriage”? It seems to be the LDS way to pretend you don’t hear the questions. Really funny, and pathetic at the same time. And whadya know, there are pictures of Smith wearing a hat online!

Some on this comment forum are truly mean spirited and down right hateful. My dear departed mother used to say…”Everyone is put on this good earth for a reason, even if it’s for a bad example.” Guest….stop taking “mean” pills.

Fred and Dave:

Community more appropriately fellowship is what God wants for us. To care for one another, to love one another, and to share your lives with each other; good or bad. With fellowship no problem is too big or too small. We’ll get through it together. I have tried to stop answering the trolls, because I can’t change them and I’ll be damned if I’m going to give them the power to raise my blood pressure. So, carry on gentlemen and God Bless!!

Fred: Love the email address. That’s what I live by. Common sense and keeping it simple. Thanks for your post.

“Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you”

Please point out the lies he’s told. I’ve found that most of what he said in 2009 has come true. You wouldn’t know if all you read is liberal media. It doesn’t matter what you think and you will never change minds here unless you have an original thought

Exactly what I was thinking.

Society and everything it entails has become a big distraction. Everyday life for many has become a hustle for different reasons – one of them is to earn an income to survive.
Technological advances such as social media and internet is helpful but can also be destructive. Instant beaming of atrocities, wars, disagreements, politics is causing many to forget what is important in life – a soothing peace at heart.
Those who believe in God and, believe his word to be contained in The Bible know that His ‘instruction manual on life’ is the best tool to navigate a tumultuous world.
While we young – we are full of energy focusing more than not on the pleasures of life; material things, what it takes to be successful, have nice and shiny things and don’t worry too much about anything else.
As we age – many of us may have achieved what we set out to achieve but yet – there is emptiness in hearts and minds.
Peace at heart and peace in mind can not be found in this mundane world; it has to come from within. Inner reflection of one self can be a taunting experience; to be totally honest with one self can be quite a task and difficult but it must be done.
I have learned a while ago thru hardship and what have you that to feel better – self examination was a first and important step; the choices we make in life, the people we choose to associate with, the surroundings we seek – all can led one astray.
It is important to acknowledge ones faults and mistakes – not easy sometimes – but honesty within is important and help to find the solution.
The Bible gives many assists in doing so – Jesus set the example we all should follow; it was his reason to come to earth in flesh and blood to show us the way.
I was always afraid to be alone. I was always afraid of loneliness. The fight with myself was all worth it because I realized that much of my hard ship came from within myself in the choices I made.
I am now good and like to be alone but never lonely! I realize that I have to live in this world but I do not have to take part in what this world does.
My mind is at ease – my heart at peace; it is soothing and I would never compromise this gift given by God thru Jesus Christ – who is The Prince of Peace.
Anything I read, see or observe is no longer surprising, it is expected as I learned about it in The Bible – I also know that the world or society will grow more restless, violent or what have you – it will not affect me.
I conduct myself to best of my ability; do a good deed once a day no matter how big or small – that makes my heart smile. Material things are of no value to me. I seek out like minded people to learn more about God’s plans for us because it takes a life time and more to truly understand the love He has for us or me.
Glenn – if you read this – try to find your peace at heart and peace at mind – it makes all the difference!
Sorry for my long comment!

Congratulations, you finally understand how the Democratic Party works.

GLENN: YES GOD DOES GUIDE US EACH AND EVERY DAY. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER ME, I SAW YOU A COUPLE OF TIMES HERE IN OKC. I WORKED AT THE RESTAURANT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE KTOK RADIO STATON. I HAVE CEREBRAL PALSY. SAW YOU LAST NIGHT ON THE FOX NEWS NETWORK. AM NOW IN A NURSING HOME.

See, your nailing it. Your post describes liberalism and this president.

‘Once “AWAKE”, it’s hard to back to sheep’

Aside from all that a voice in my head asks a couple of times day, where are a few good men to remove the horrendous extortion and treason from the red house. Where Where Where are they?????

Don’t put words in our mouths…we didn’t learn whatever it is you’re trying to imply. Fred explained it pretty well. Maybe you read that post again. It wouldn’t hurt…

One of my biggest struggles seems to be finding the time (or making the time) to ponder, listen, meditate and hear God. You know, I never considered Him not to want control, and never even thought He might offer up something like, ‘Figure it out for yourself’. LOL That is better than my feeling of trudging through difficult times with the horizon ahead not coming into clear view. Interesting different takes on ‘having faith in Him’ for our futures. I like yours better.

Again, read Fred’s post again. It’s right up there

Thank you!! I said I’m trying not to answer, but this guy made me chuckle.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Your describing the well developed tactic of a liberal. From rules for radicals, Hillary’s favorite handbook

You are so eloquent. Please please pease get out of mormanism. It is a cult. Catholicism is close. Be an evangelical. That is what u are anyway. Prayers to U

Your showing your hand, and your insults are the proof. I’m sure glad that Glenn wrote this post. It reminds me to pray for people like you.

Oh, but he doesn’t. He has the Spirit in him. You don’t and we know it. You’re the liar here and we are just toying with you. Your superior intellect just can’t grasp reality

And that historical record would be? Lol. Ths is getting so rediculous its kind of funny.LOL And your proof of any other so called crimes and or any convictions?

Still here, huh? Pathetic. Is it hard being a troll and trying to be relevant?

You’re looking in the mirror again Spock

Trolls with their petty insults. Gotta go land of yawns. Lol

You are so clever. You must be a Vulcan too.

That’s ALL they have and they’re masters at it. It’s sick and is the shining example of what’s wrong with the country today. Just ignore them. They will never change until they have to move out of mom and dad’s house and get a dose of reality.

Really? How disrespectful.

wrong, so very wrong

one should work as hard as Glen Beck does.. I dont know how he DOES work as hard as he does. God helps him, I suppose.

No, Jeff. not disrespectful. I care about his soul because he is so sincere!

Wonderful thoughts to print for my Father’s Day card. We are blessed by your unfailing honesty and dedication to sharing the truth. Happy Father’s Day!

Re. Guest — He offers insults while objecting & whining about being insulted. All the while offering no substance for his insults. A rather immature personality addicted to bolstering self expression.

Wow Glenn, thanks for sharing those profound yet simple thoughts. God bless…

I am a Catholic. I am not in a cult.

I still use a manual push mower. Hey, I get some great exercise. I don’t have to fill up at the gas station. I don’t have to worry about losing an eye. What am I thinking…. I love it!!!

That is the challenge that all of us are called to embrace. Spending time with the Lord and just listening to Him! YOu are correct in that he has empowered us but We have to Trust COMPLETELY. A very hard thing for a man to do!! Each of us comes to this realization sooner or later unless of course atheism/secularism can’t see beyond the realm of man who cause more damage in his arrogance and willful Disregard of our Lord God!! God Bless an speak of this. Yes you will be attacked. Everyone who proclaims the Word especially that the Word was made flesh in Jesus is subject to horrendous ridicule and attack as that is the devil among us. God Bless!!

… ‘especially love the picture ‘n message in that very last sentence!! … ‘BLESSIN’S!!! “br”

Words. Just words. I’m not condemning them, just pointing out the reality of what this post is. Go forth, Glenn. Be that better man that you hope to be. I’m not impressed with the man that you are now, but we’re all human and wrought with flaws. I support your endeavor to better yourself. Let the proof be in your actions and not your words.

Mr. Beck I am from a small town in northern Illinois. I was married to a wonderful man for 44 years and he lost his battle with PF in October of 2012. He fought a hard battle and worked all the way up to 5 weeks before he died. Our oldest son is hearing impaired and he worked a job for 22 years and has now become disabled. I know trials, heartake, financial worries and I also know love. Love of family, love of friends, love of country. I read your blogs and I know a good man and that is you Mr. Beck. I do not know what year to year holds for me and my son…will we survive, will I be able to hold on to my home without loosing it I don’t know, will I be able to make a home for my son after I am gone I do not know. I do know that I will cling to the hopes and prayers for a nation that I truly love. I will only have what I have worked that is the way I was raised. I may not have much but my wonderful husband and I worked side by side alot of years and yes we made mistakes by getting in debt like all and I still carry a mortgage that I struggle every month to pay but I am blessed that I have that oppertunity. I miss you on fox news and I hope that your eye sight problem is at least stable if not better and most of all I wish you peace, happiness and God’s Blessing upon you and your family. God Bless from small town usa

Anger can be a good thing. So can silence. Many times I find myself angry at how silent I have been throughout my life..
I remember, as a child, the many bullies I had, to the point both school and the street I lived on was not fun.
I remember, trying to get the seat against the walls in the classroom, so no one could be behind me and thump my head with their finger, pencil, pen and or ruler.
I remember all the times I ran home, as the bullies would gather closer to me on the bus, as we would closer to our street.
And I remember the day my dad died, when he just went outside to put up my basketball goal…and I never saw him again.
I hated God for a long, long time. To the point I didn’t care about school or even life…yet time after time, God kept on saving me…even from myself.
Throughout my life, those times, I kept asking, “Why”….
I didn’t want to live…and I was too afraid to tell anyone, an extreme introvert that saw no self-worth when I looked back in the mirror.
I won’t go into much detail, but through the pain, even now, I found God again.
I found God, when I fell off a step-ladder that left me partially disabled, out of work and trying to commit suicide…and once again, God saved me…even from myself.
It was only after I took a point of no return, and waited to die, I heard God in my heart…and I told Him if He saved me, I would turn my life around.
I didn’t know if I’d survive the night, as I eventually fell asleep…but God had other plans, even through my actions of self-harm.
I’m still partially disabled, out of work and still in many pains…but found a truth, whole truth, that only God can give, and I can only have through the discernment He gives through my ‘seeking’, ‘asking’ and ‘knocking’.
This earth looks so green, so sparkling at night, with the winds that move the branches of trees and blades of grass. The birds chirping, wind howling and life growing and dying….and being reborn into more than we ever knew. Hearts and minds that see more than this world, that is Satan’s dominion and ruler off….waiting for when God destroys and rebuilds/replaces all remnants of mans doing…and once again, just as He could only make the corrections to connect us back to Him, make the world that the ‘Lord’s Prayer’ is…on Earth, God’s Earth…as it IS in Heaven.
A ‘Great Awakening’ is happening…it’s just we have to get the sand out of our eyes, the sins out of our lives, for God to do the part He waits on us to show our faith…even through our fears…and anger. In my case, fear and anger at myself alone.
God Bless

just because you don’t believe him doesn’t make him a liar.

I read a lot of the comments after reading the post. I see you, Glenn, is a smart, well read, wise, soft hearted loving person who has a strong belief in God and a great love for our country. You keep me informed, sometimes entertained and happy that I have read books you wrote, and have seen you and heard you speak, and have met you at a book signing and got your autograph on one of the books you wrote. It was a special honor to talk with you just for a moment. I will never be quite the same; that is something you do to people.

Glenn –
I am ashamed of my fellow man – for taking your beautiful words and spewing hatred and loathing. I thought it was lovely…and I cannot…no…I will not listen to the others who are too busy arguing to really See, or posting advertisements, etc. Thank you, Glenn, for sharing your personal thoughts with US.

Sadly, you aren’t bright enough to know what is correct, and what is just plain crap. Shame on you!

History most certainly mirrors itself. There are reference points when we pay attention. There are predictable outcome, predictable weaknesses, and unpredictable villains and heroes alike.

Glenn appears to have accepted the End of America as we know it. He seems quietly resigned to turn it over to G~d’s hands without anger or resistance. That is his choice.

I am not there yet. I am angry and I fear for the lives of my fellow countrymen and women. I am angry that the children of my family and friends will never know the country that we’ve known. They may never know peace at home once this run away freight train of a Marxist coup reaches its climax.

The dream is gone and while the reality bites now those of faith understand the tribulations are only just beginning.

Speaking in a general sense, Americans at large do not want liberty. They have proven that through their actions to destroy it and apathy as it disappears. They want the government to do for them, they are entitled.

I am frustrated with Glenn. Now he claims to follow the path of the historically peaceful when leading up to the 2012 elections he played a major role in destroying the position by repeatedly bearing false witness against Ron Paul. Glen was willing to sell out our liberty for the false sense of security. How did that work out ?

I do not want bloodshed but I cannot watch Glenn and others just let this once Constitutional Republic pass silently into the night while claiming that is the high road either. What to do?

Calling my elected representatives weekly (and this week daily) accomplishes nothing. No one listens. They are merely vultures grabbing up the spoils and leaving us to the wolves. The system is too corrupted to be fixed. Those who are dependent with no one to whom to turn and without faith will burn this country down, of that I have little doubt.

We can prepare to take care of our families and smaller communities but on a larger scale I don’t see it as being possible. Time is too short. Too few people know how to produce their daily needs.

I admire the strength and depth of Glenn’s faith. It is something I pray for but have not yet been blessed to receive.

Got news for you – so does the GOP.

Glenn doesn’t support them either. Wake up.

Glenn, you make a very big difference in my life. You lead by example. When I want to give up, I think of you. Then I keep going.

Pre-tribulation Rapture is a blasphemy from modern false prophets. The philosophy arose in the 1800s and it is an anomaly to the West.

Please, read your Bible.

Glenn,
You do not know me, I like to think I know you. I am 37 with a wife and four wonderful kids. I had a career in the military that was cut short due to a sports injury where I suffer from a bit of guilt because of it. If there is one thing that we share other than our faith is the realization that one must make the time to ponder, truly ponder whatever the topic maybe. When my career in the military ended I did not know what to do, but think at times. I love to mow my lawn, and I only hope and pray that I can be an example to my kids the same way your grandfather was to you. I love your words, I love the work you do, and I love the truth you share to all that will listen and for the chance you have given many to stop and ponder.

It can or is very disappointing reaching transformation of being in peace with oneself and or in particular the BIG Bad World of perfection-less MANKIND. Blue meanies and stupid stuff is part of life and please don’t give up on being pist off time to time ie that is actually failure with Capitol F. not defending the innocent.

Mr. Liddle,
You get an Amen from me. If there is one thing that I have started to do is post and comment on many articles that I get off the Blaze and other news sites. If there is one thing that I have noticed is those that disagree with Glenn are the same people that are saying Louise Lerners computer magically crashed and all those emails were lost. They are the ones that think that the boarder to our nation is secure. They are the ones that think that Benghazie was triggered because of an anti-Islam movie. They are the ones that push gun control and have to use complete deception to provide any kind of support for their argument. There are those that persecute others thinking that it will damage them, instead it exposes false witness and brings to light more truth and the work moves forward. Glenn is a prime example of truth overcoming. There is and always will be those that can not or will not see truth even if it hits them in the face, but the great thing is Glenn will conintue to speak and there are those that will see the oppostition for what it is and be enlightened by it.
So I say let the haters hate, and wallow in their misery. Let those that will hear, hear and do as Glenns Grandfather did and take time to really ponder on things that matter, and be better for it.

Guest,
I find it totally amazing how people like you can throw out the lying card, yet it is the left that I am sure you find yourself on is the blackest of all kettles…Oh did I offend you, was that racist in saying “blackest”. Yet all you can do is call people liars without proving it. Just like the left proving gun control with false school shooting numbers, like planned parenthood working behind the scenes to promote their agenda and half truths and lies. Just like the IRS, NSA, Fast and Furious, Benghazie, and all the other scandals I forgot to mention perpetrated by LYING. Guest you display your ingorance like a miss American contestant during the bikini portion…leaving little to the imagination.

Martian.

Have a good sleep.

I don’t serve computers, they serve me. Christ is the ONE I serve.

As much as you care, you are still not God. You don’t have his infinite wisdom and you don’t have the power to damn anyone’s soul except, maybe, your own.

Yeah, I thought the same. There have been a few times when I disagreed with Glenn but too few to cause me to dismiss the truth of things which he reports and that would be true of most everyone. I think “Guest” has hatred in his heart and he or she certainly doesn’t have the courage to post his or her real name.My guess is that “Guest” is commie/socialist, leftist/progressive and perhaps homosexual and/or atheist.

There are many who would disagree with you. I get paid well for my services. Life is good and even better when you are successful. At a certain point it’s not about the money but helping people keep more of their money when so many thieves are after it.

I never left. I’ve always been right.

Why thank you. I was beginning to think nobody noticed. But if you think small you’ll succeed small. Think big, succeed big.

I can only hope that Glenn has seen what I have seen these last six months. I have been a member of the Mormon or Latter Day Saint church for over 37 years. I finally know that it is a fraud. The facts are there, even on LDS.org. You can read about these things on some recently written essays put out by “the church”. One about blacks and the priesthood, one about translation of the Book of Mormon, and other important issues the many have with the religion. Please seek them out. Joseph Smith translating from a hat, 30+ wives, problem after problem. A good overview is also found on http://www.CESletter.com. It is documented with all sources, MANY which are from “the church’s” own publications. I can not imagine anything as trans formative as leaving my religion has been. It has been devastating to learn I have been lied to my whole life. The decision my family and I have made to leave has been scary, but also liberating. If I were in the public eye any more than I already am (and I am just a bit), I don’t know that I could do it, given the way “the church” and many followers (including family members) treat those who become disaffected.

I am (technically) a Mormon. I stopped attending church as I dutifully have for 37 years the second I found out it was all made up and Joseph Smith was a fraud. Frankly, I am not really sure I can even believe in God, but I DO believe in Good! I believe in education, truth, and enlightenment. If I even thought a prayer would go anywhere in particular now, I would pray that Glenn is leaving the LDS faith and hopefully in a very; very public way.

Well spoken Glenn. We all struggle with being better, but that’s kinda the point!

Your grandpa wasn’t just pondering while mowing the lawn, he was being taught by that “still small voice” you speak of. How do you think Jesus gained his knowledge. I sometimes thought when I was younger that before Jesus’ ministry, he may have been taught by angels and received a more grandiose heavenly tutelage than everyone else, but that doesn’t really line up with his birth, earthly circumstance, or his mission.

Ever notice how Jesus always used examples he had carefully observed in nature and in the nature of men when teaching? I submit that perhaps Jesus learned his early lessons through contemplation, and listening to the still small voice, the same way that we all learn, and that as silly as it may seem to some, mowing the lawn may be a great time to observe, ponder, and be taught.

It is similar to what Ray Bradbury said in a way. There is way too much “White Noise” in everyday modern life in America today. Noise, noise, noise–all the time.

People seem to make no time to “reflect”. That reflection is essential to gaining insight and knowledge–that won’t exist if you don’t make time for that silence and time alone–to just process ideas. I know, I threw out the TV a decade ago and practice the reflection, and the silence has been wonderful, along with the reading of the Great Books, and especially G.K. Chesterton (the man of Common Sense).

BTW, Glenn, G K Chesterton really had George B. Shaw’s number—understood his evil dehumanizing philosophy and where it was leading humanity even in 1907!!! He was warning people at the turn of the 19th century. I wondered why I had never heard of GK Chesterton–esp. in college. No Common Sense allowed anymore in schools, because Truth and Reason is eliminated from the public square. Up is Down now.

You are not alone My friend , for we all walk this path for the path is not strait. or is it always easy And sometimes it seams dark ,but out of darkness comes the light of faith . for a small flame or a twinkle of light can give us direction and strength to continue the fight and though faith in God we will come together and over come the darkness and travel through the rough terrain . Keep up the good fight my friend for we are with you for the path will get easier

Glenn, you are my Shepherd. I will follow you not as a sheep, but as fellow herder of the flock. My soul feels both revealed and comforted by your words. Stay on the path, you are not alone in your journey. All my best wishes to you and your family.

and u r and idiot!!!

You quote Thomas Jefferson to prove that Glen is wrong???
Well, that is just wrong sir.

Why can’t you spell God ??

I call mowing the lawn my Zen time …

I wish we could talk; UM. You probably can’t imagine how much “we” non-LDS followers of Christ look upon the LDS Church with admiration. Even envy (for standards keeping, missions, and the like). It led to my own searching into the modern LDS Church, which I on so many levels highly respect to this day.

Although not LDS, I was searching to the point that I studied hieroglyphs, in part, to try to grasp understandings in the Pearl of Great Price. If it took on a deep meaning, I was ready to take next steps (I had read the BoM, and was (and, to an extent, still am) open to exploring its historical propositions). What I found was that the darn plate or papyri “interpreted” just reiterated common Egyptian funerary texts from their “Book of Life” (we call it the Book of the Dead). When you can read the texts it’s obvious (not to mention, a few hundred unrelated words are turned into thousands).

Does this mean that LDS is not Christian? I do not think so (and would never claim to know so). The LDS Church follows Christ’s examples–such as how to treat others (and, does so far more with His teachings than many main-line denominations and individuals) — and, who could disagree with that (the greatest commandment is to love one-another — the LDS excel at this)? Are the LDS “after-life” views un-Biblical (?), yep, and it’s contrary to just about every pre-dated to Smith church scripture and teachings. Does subscribing to the LDS after-life view condemn one to Hell(?) — I don’t think so and certainly hope not. So, let’s focus on what unites “us,” not that which divides us.

While we can’t know now if Glen’s journey mirrors yours or mine (in addition to the above, I have medical issues–Chron’s disease) or my Grandfather’s (who was loved deeply at one point but then left the Masons when he was asked to say an oath to “Allah”), Let us keep him in our prayers, and, in the words of Lincoln “may the Heavenly Father assuage the anguish of your [his] bereavement.” All the best,

God is in control. Either He causes things to happen, or He allows them to happen. So, when we disagree with what happens are we not disagreeing with God ?
God has blessed Glenn Beck, if you can’t handle that perhaps you should keep silent.
God bless you Glenn!

Hey maybe youll grow some balls! There will come a time that you will have to fight!

Well done, Glenn.

You didn’t answer the question

I say let the naysayers speak their negative outlook is just a reminder of how much work there is to do. How far misguided they are by the many influences they have been exposed to.

Thanks Glenn. I really, really, appreciate it. I’m reposting.

I like the way you write. I like the way you speak. I leave your show on during the day just to listen to your calming voice. Here is my view: According to geneticists, our genes have been around for millions of years. Basically most of us only know history for the last 2000 years, what we know from the Bible and BOM. Our country is indeed washing up ashore in bits and pieces. We were a country developed by very great men of great vision. They were pursuing freedom. Our country almost was a test of sorts to see what would happen if indeed humans were allowed to be free. In that freedom were basic responsibilities — and the belief that sacrifice, compassion, give and take were part of that initial system. It is complicated. With technology advancing at an exponential rate, it is very complicated. As for me, I find solace in the Bible and the BOM and a few other Christian writers (C.S. Lewis, Andrew Murray). I appreciate what you do; you have changed my life more than you could know. Thank you for your leadership and values. You influence more lives than you know.

Dear Guest, I have just signed up here specifically so that I can ask for your help. Please tell me what the lies are, that I might be enlightened. Just one or two. I don’t want to tax either my feeble mind or yours.

Glenn, thank you for allowing God’s love to flow through you. You’re a blessing to the world…you let your light shine!

I am astounded by your thoughts…I Have some of the very same ones….. I am fearful of our nation’s future. I don’t know you personally, but I admire your thought process…you are a great man, in my opinion! You help the rest of us (fearful ones) get through the mire with your positive and honest (and sometimes brave) assessment of a given situation. I have been following you since you began on Fox News….You shouldn’t wonder what it is God wants you to do….you are doing it! We (the fearful ones) are listening and gaining strength through you! What a wonderful human being you are! Keep up the good work!

You are not alone My friend , for we all walk this path for the path is not strait. or is it always easy And sometimes it seams dark ,but out of darkness comes the light of faith . for a small flame or a twinkle of light can give us direction and strength to continue the fight and though faith in God we will come together and over come the darkness and travel through the rough terrain . Keep up the good fight my friend for we are with you for the path will get easier

It’s good that Glenn knows how to farm and to be prepared to take care of his family. Wish that was the case for more of us. Farming is becoming a lost art.
That is sad.

Glenn you are leading by example, God bless you on your journey.

Absolutly beautiful….I stand firmly behind you as you chart Gods path…you are a bold amazing man and the Lord praises you with waking up the sleeping America…it is time for each of us to remain strong and move forward with you to save our America and your voice stays in my heart and mind daily….God has given you a task and you are following it perfectly…God Bless you Glenn!

My worry is that when Glenn says he is in the final phase of a ‘massive transformation’, he is not talking only in personal terms but political as well. I have been listening to his radio show every day for the last twelve months (although not so much recently) and he has definitely changed, although I think he is keeping the nature of his transformation ‘under wraps’ for the most part to avoid alienating his fan base too much all at once. It is like he trying to break it gently to them, hoping he can bring them with him. There is no doubt in my mind that he is no longer a true conservative. Just today I read the most appalling anti-conservative opinion piece on The Blaze smearing Rick Perry and with him all Christian conservatives who are loyal to The Blaze. Reading Robert Reilly’s brilliant, reasoned and compelling book, Making Gay Okay has made me realize how very far from a conservative stance Glenn has travelled in the last year or two. As Reilly shows, libertarianism is very much a child of the modernist progressive movement and has done more damage to the conservative cause by abandoning the idea of First Principles and Western civilisation’s Hellenistic belief in virtue and objective truths, than all the cultural Marxist gatekeepers combined.

Sir:
If only you knew how deeply touched I was by your words. We share one thing – I too want to be a better man, in so many ways. But, as you said, it is HARD.

Let’s just keep trying -With help, of course.

God Bless you sir and please come back to the Villages, here in Florida.

Mr Beck
I have always enjoyed your comments, what you stand for, your values and love for your country. We never stop finding our way on this most interesting journey. Yet finding the strength we need can only be found with God’s hand. And we can never move forward without looking to see that God is with us. Hoping, praying that we will find strength through Him. Thank you Mr Beck for being who you are and knowing there is light waiting in the sun of God’s next new day.

I find it fascinating that the only example given that Glenn lies is from 2010. And, based on what has happened since 2010, I’m sure Glenn would love to debate someone saying that the gist of what he said has been proven correct.

Very thoughtful and insightful

” I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people–for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Tim 2:2

I have seen Guest show up in comment sections of many articles and he/she/it always argues that no one knows what they are talking about and will not listen to anyone’s source links, just ignore IT everyone.

I wouldn’t know, but if Glen is making a transformation while following that Still Small Voice, it has been documented quite some time what that Still Small Voice has to say about this world’s politics:

For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.

“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

Isa 55-8-9

Well written…God bless ya!

Beautiful message. God bless you Glenn and all.

Glenn,contemplative men have these thoughts. I just spent a day hiking the Hill Country north of Austin. My ashes will be spread there one day. I so love the solice and the talks I have with God and Christ there. I pray for the patience of Job, perserverence, and that above all, my love of my fellow man shines first in all my encounters. YOU should not struggle with that thought. Even while we know the fires burning this country with the gasoline poured out by what I believe to be a true antichrist, BHO, love will conquer. At the same time, Righteous Indignation is necessary at times and is a GOOD thing. The left will say we Christians are not to judge, but judging right from wrong in NOT a sin and is very very necessary. Shining the light is all we can do, along with prayer that our voices win the hearts and minds (eventually in God’s time) of those who may be lost in the middle. Prayers your way – S Nolen

Mary, why do you mix religious beliefs (from VERY dubious sources) with politics? There is NO such thing as a “true conservative” since a conservative aims to preserve status quo (existing state of affairs) and a liberal aims to change that.

Example gratis, Mormons were once THE most liberal religion when founded, but were probably the most conservative religion from 1900 up until they moved towards the center in 1992. Since the “status quo” keeps drifting slowly over time, what a “conservative” is slowly drifts over time. Conservatives today are the democrats of yesteryear.

YOU would have the Gay voting block kept ignorant of our Founding principles. Gays deserve to be steered to freedom and liberty also and away from slavery under the Gay Manifesto. Glenn offers them fellowship to steer them toward The Framers and hopefully away from dogmatic hypocrites (as all Christians are since none are perfect and most are more pharisaical breast beaters than they are Christlike) who would drive them towards Progressives.

The sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was violence and rapine… a lack of charity and hospitality… and THAT is what got them destroyed by God.. NOT being gay, per se. That being said, let me say I was raised by ARCH Conservatives and knew Glenn’s hero Cleon Skousen *personally.* I am not gay, and wouldn’t dream of being gay. The greatest concern I have about gays is that they are proseletyzing, and have been for many years since their poet laureate Micheal Swift published the Homosexual Manifesto, the poem “We shall sodomize your sons, emblems of your feeble masculinity, of your shallow dreams and vulgar lies. We shall seduce them in your… blah blah blah.”

Be LIKE Jesus. Go have lunch with a Gay. Most of them are good people… SINNERS just like YOU. And what is your attraction to Greece and Rome? They are DEAD civilizations? Republics only last about 250 years and turn into oligarchies or dictatorships… usually falling from conspiracy from within. Judaism is the ONLY faith that has survived the ages… it is ALL about COMMUNITY and Charity=Justice. Christianity is 60% Roman paganism mixed with 40% Judaism. Pauline “Christians” (not Christlike at all) used The Papal bull Romanus Pontifex of 1455 (written targeting northern Africa only) has served as the basis of legal arguments for taking Native American lands by “discovery”, and continues to do so today. “Christians” used it as an an excuse to kill 10s of millions of what Columbus called “Indios” … “People in God.” U.S. Indian policy has shockingly cited that same Vatican law since the 1820s.

Wanna survive as a nation? Go find a Jew or (a Cherokee) and grab onto the hem of their garments. Zecharia 8:23. Glenn said it last week.. the Framers realized they had erred, and they wrote ” Wanna know where Glennis heading? He revealed it back in 2010. Problem is, Christians are so damned ignorant and dogmatic THEY are tearing the nation apart with their hypocrisy. The Progressives, in the true Roman fashion of Divide and Conquer, are capitalizing on this fact.

In 2018, Glenn said “It wasn’t always that way. In fact, this is kind of a new recent trend. The Founders relied on the Bible. Do you know that — do you know that more than 30 times all the other books, all the other things they could have read, more than 30 times the Book of Deuteronomy over everything else. That’s what the Founders used.Book of Deuteronomy, in case you haven’t read it for a while, that’s kind of the Laws of Moses stuff. Jefferson and Adams wrote to each other, they were famous pen pals. They wrote to each other late in life because they really hated each other in the middle of their life. One ofthe things they talked about, it’s about 1820, was — one of them wrote and said, you know what we’ve done here? And said, yes, it’s a miracle. He said, yes, I know but it’s going to fail. And other one wrote back, yes, I know it’s going to fail. Why are you such a fat pessimist? He said, I trust in the people.

And they weren’t satisfied with what the system they created but they did their best. They said we should have put more Deuteronomy in there,should have gotten more into the framework. We tried, we tried! When they started talking about the failure of the country, they said it’s OK, though. It’s OK, because when it fails, the people will remember what we were trying to do. And they’ll do it right. Wow!”

Powerful, contemplative sharing of your inner-self, Glenn.

Thanks for inspiring me to make time to ‘think’ and ‘listen to my inner voice’ for direction (not necessarily answers).

I know that life in the world, and especially our America, is pretty scary right now. But, I also KNOW… that America is not just a place. America is an idea! It is the idea of America the enemy fights. Free enterprise at its best… Principles of Equallity. Freedom and rights… That is the target. Not a geographical place. So think outside the box people. Those ideas are not tangible and so only lie restricted inside the oppositions regulations. Maybe, instead of spending every waking hour youve got, trying to losen the enemies grip, we should be thinking outside the box they have put us in. Outside their regulations… Enterprise is still enterprise… free or not. And Free Enterprise is still available in concept, waiting for our action to materialise it outside the reach of greedy regulators. A Republic is also not nesessarily a place, but an idea we can join together in. Our geographic country is in trouble, but if we think outside that box… above, below, beside or far outside the confines of the enemies restrictions , we will see the same oppertunities and abilities, that grew the fastest, strongest, nation in the world are still there, waiting for us all to take hold of them and START AGAIN. America is not only an idea… America is a PROVEN idea, that we already know works. If the boat youre on is going to sink, I agree we should do everything within our power to save it. But while we do… Put some addiquite time into building another boat, just incase this one doesnt really make it. One thing Americans can do BETTER than most… Is.. we can build a better boat. We can make America again, with or withOUT the regulators permission. It IS possible. I know I am not the only one who knows what I am telling you. Treat yourself to some private time today, and everyday thinking, Outside regulated restrictions. Where and how can America start over again. This time, without letting thr regulators in. Have a wonderful day.:))))

This reminds me of a passage in 2 Chronicles. God offered Solomon anything he wanted. All Solomon asked for was knowledge and wisdom. God was impressed that he didn’t ask for anything material or self serving such as long life. Solomon only wanted to serve God and His people to the best of his ability. I hear the same humbleness in Glenn’s thoughts. You are on the right path Glenn and I believe you will given your desires to be a better person since it is an unselfish wish. This is something everyone should understand about the flawed human condition, there is always room for improvement. I’ll leave you with one of my favorite verses. Proverbs 16:9 In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

Glenn, your words of hope and encouragement met me at the hour of my need. God delivered what I needed today in you! Thank you! God bless you brother.

I pray that this is the pre-announcement that Glenn is converting to Catholicism! Amen

Glenn, I have been trying to reach out to you for a long time. I greatly respect your sincere search for the truth. Not just Gods truth but historically apart from the fog of revisionism. You have of your own accord read all you could at the expense of evem your eye sight. PLEASE PLEASE look into “rightly dividing” Gods word. I understand you have been spending some time with Pauls life and experience. You are on the right track!!!! Paul the Apostle to the GENTILE holds the key to truth.. Galations tells us that paul recived his message from the Lord Jesus Christ DIRECTLY.. He is the messenger of the gospel of the grace of God to this age/dispensation.. Take time to read his letters in the order they were delivered and you will see. I remember yrs back on your radio show you referencing the armor of God, the war with PRINCIPALITIES and powers unseen.. tca@doctor.com

New age twaddle.Wow.

like

Wonderful words. There are many of us treading toward our destination, on our own journeys along with you. It may seem lonely, but there are many of us there. In these days, our Heavenly Father wants us to look within ourselves, and lay down what he has placed in our hands. Love, pray and rest in His promises to us, being guided by His wisdom. It is a difficult journey, balancing between Heaven and earth. I think that is why I like flying. A plane can take us far above the weight of the earth and closer to Heaven. Then, that poses the question: What will we do when we land? Smiles here. Turn off the music and listen to that still, small voice. Then, do what it tells you.

Glenn, Thank you for your post. It seems those times to be still and wait upon the Lord are rare in our hectic lives. Please know that you have many who pray for you and wish you every good thing. You have been used mightily by God. Remember, when all else fails, STAND!

Dear Glenn, You are truly a gifted writer! You make us ponder ourselves. It is difficult to be alone with my thoughts. You always lift us up; so, if there is we can do beside pray which so many for us do. Please let us know. Just know you’re much loved! We are ready to back you financially or voluntarily. Also know my husband is the Director of Wildlife and Fresh Water Fisher for the entire State of Alabama. We also had a show on the Outdoor Channel for 12 years. If we can produce a planting show for The Blaze TV, I’m all in. In addition, my husband Chuck Sykes, can help you at the farm anytime! The people who adore you are here for you anytime, anywhere!!!!God Bless you and your family! My husband’s number is334.524.4170.

Noise, noise, noise. The world is too noisy. Noise from TVs, cars, thumping sound systems, fighting, jets, computers, construction, unruly parents, internet, cell phones and many more. The noise never stops. Almost never. On Sept. 12, 2001 going outside the skies were quiet. Despite the horror of the previous day it seemed almost peaceful, sounds of nature could be heard, fewer cars on the road. The other day we lost power for a few minutes. While many consider that an emergency (understandable) things were quieter for a few minutes. A bit of serenity. Each week before Mass in the Sanctuary, one is supposed to be quiet and praying out of respect and reverence. There is a little bit of noise, people being people, but still there is a conscious effort by the gathered to be quiet. Thanks be to God. Praise the Lord.

To borrow from a recent commencement address:

If you want to change the world, if you want peace, be quiet.

Catholicism is a large target for The Liar. Christ’s Church *appears*, at times, to be out of step with “common sense” or “popular wisdom”. Some people do not like what they see and hear. “Bronze Age”, “Fairy Tales”, “Goat Herders”, “Misogynist”, “Unwelcoming”, “Fear-based”, “Cannibals” are only a few of the verbal shots one must be prepared for. Tested in the fire. I would be much more wary of a church that conforms (even slowly) to the desires and morals of the people. The stewards of The Catholic Church are not perfect and they do stumble but they have been given authority from and are guided by Perfection Himself.

Glenn, reading this I felt as if I was sitting in the next seat having a conversation with you about life, Jesus, the insanity of the world, and just how simple all the
complexity really is. In the end, it’s all about our relationship with and trusting Him. Blessings to you and your family.

“You are learning well, grasshopper” a favorite family phrase…..REST: Relinquish Everything, Submit Totally, and keep Matthew 6:33-34ing it…….(from Loose Screws and Skinned Knees – as Gregory Noack…..)

Tony, you are so right! Being a Catholic in today’s world really does make you feel under attack but with God’s help we know who is really behind it! We have to be bold and counter-cultural and never ever forget Who is behind us in the fight. Jesus said, “if they hate you, know they hated Me first”. Every time I see or hear something attacking the Church, this verse makes me smile and know I am on the right path. As Archbishop Fulton Sheen said many years ago, “There are not even 100 people who hate the Catholic Church but there are many who hate what they have been wrongly told is the Catholic Church.”

As for the leaders in the Church stumbling, of course they do as they are even more under attack than the rest of us and they are human just like us. As I heard this past Holy Week, the greatest attacks on the Church will come from within. After all, Judas was one of the twelve!

In spite of all the bad news out there, there are so many wonderful things happening in the Catholic Church today. There are many good and holy men coming out of the seminary these days. Jesus is truly keeping His promise to not let the gates of Hell prevail against Her. It’s an exciting time to be Catholic!

IF this transformation means political as well as personal, I’ve got a
word or two for you. I’ve been with you since Provo. Yes, Provo. I
took my children to see you at the Maverick Center in Salt Lake. My son
sat behind your wife. I’ve read your ‘Glenn’s Search for the Truth’
and the most fascinating interview with David Horowitz when he discussed
the Garden of Eden and the implications. You know what I’m talking
about. Glenn, we can, and should, ‘progress’ on this earth, but the
minute we lose our core values and principles, we are lost. I don’t
care how much pressure you’re getting. You’ve withstood it before.
This is what garners you the respect you deserve. Lastly, don’t type
out stories like this only to have us wonder what else is up your
sleeve. Be up front. Is your personal transformation the only thing
that’s brewing with all of its horrific challenges that you’ve talked
about or is there a political one as well? IF there is a political
transformation that’s about to take place, it can only be bad, in my
opinion. Don’t start mixing the gray in with the white on big issues.
Stay on the path and hold ON.

Glen,
As I read your post, I would like to thank you for putting God first in your life. Then loving and being that man of God for your family. In todays society that can be a difficult task. Especially in your life of being in the lime light, constant traveling, book writing etc. It actually makes me tired just thinking about it. I pray that God covers you with his presence and gives you his wisdom to help guide you to do his purpose. The road will be difficult, and I believe you know this already. However remember nothing is impossible with the God we serve.
I can identify with you about asking God basically to deal with my heart. To make my heart as beautiful as his. I want to be like my father. I want to serve humanity making sure that I ask him for wisdom and guidance. My friend the the time is now to change this nation one person and one heart at a time. However, it has to change in me, before I can help mankind. I am excited for what is coming……. God Bless you and your family. God Bless America!

Growth never occurs in convenience. Victory over challenges creates quality and greatness.

So you realize you really are losing your mind. Just joking.

Ok, so I’ll admit I didn’t read it all, but I read enough of your precious Obama speech to see that his grand plan for economic recovery is not in my best interest…the just of what Glenn reported. It’s ladened with statements about not going into further debt but needing to send more exports and money to other countries because their success is our success. It mentions repeatly “global” job markets and international employment strategies.
So, if Glenns’ point, which I believe it is, was that the president was focused on creating “equal” opportunities around the globe, then the speech is 100% a reflection of that. The audience alone is an attestation to that very fact. One doesn’t go to international forums like the G8 and start a speech with “we”–literally in the global sense–and not imply that the US (that’s you and me) have to “give up” our potential to help their potential.
Obama could have said that the US will continue to makes itself strong, grow our internal ecomony, build and produce goods and services cheaper and faster to be able to share them with the world so that all ecomonies are enriched. But he didn’t… he pretended to, in a couple of lines, I mean he formed an initiative and all but…. Instead he talks incessently about the US giving food and talent and money to everyone else to make them stronger, all the while saying that the crisis in the US is what lead to the crisis around the world!! If that’s true, shouldn’t we clean up our own house first? Make us strong enough to lead and help? No, we ARE borrowing and getting in debt at every turn..he knows we can’t loan to North Korea without borrowing from Russia!! So if you want to compare liars, I’ll take Glenn Beck every time as being truthful, or at least honest; and BHO has MILES to go to earn even a hint of trust.

Certainly nothing in this example has changed my mind.

AMEN! God bless you Glenn, you have been such a role model and always been fair!!!!

Pls
enjoy your family and home as much as you can possibly get the time.
And maybe say a prayer for those of us that no longer have that special
love or even our ‘earlier’ surroundings and comforts. We are old,
disabled or sick, broke and scared many times.

But we have JESUS! Who
could be any richer?
My doggie and I will be okay as will many of us. (Psalms 61:2)

And
as i hear the news of tonight, (Saturday 6-15) it is so much closer
than we and/or many, probably realize or even want to realize.
Only HE knows when, but HE will not desert HIS people!
Glenn you have been a great inspiration to me. thank you

Be safe my friend and stay strong.
God is good!

Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Who today (under 50) can imagine a popular, weekly prime-time TV show with a Catholic priest seen by tens of millions of people and winning an Emmy Award (thanks to writers Matthew, Mark, Luke and John!)? I am pleased to see his show on EWTN Saturday afternoons. It is an exciting time to be Catholic. It is also a strange and dangerous time. Be joyous knowing that He is near us always.

Glenn, what a timely post, surely sent to us from you, …maybe just for me! You see, I have been struggling mightily internally, too. over some of the SAME things, mostly- my absolute internal fury over what Obama and Co, and the politicians in general (no, not all of them, but most) are doing to our beloved nation… I have NEVER been a bitter person, and I have, like you, been through much angst in my life. But, this attack on my very core, by evil itself, has turned me into someone I am neither familiar with nor comfortable with. I am simply not USED to being angry! Oh, I have had my moments, in the past, but, -just moments. Since Obama and Co have shown up to try to destroy our Nation for us, I haven’t felt OK inside for more than rare fleeting minutes! Since he was mistakenly elected (or cheated into office- whichever) And of course, I have turned to FATHER over and over, daily, asking forgiveness, asking for direction. I have taken to jeapordizing my safety and sanity by posting how I feel about this bunch of hoods, from the beginning, trying to make people understand their danger they are in, and I truly MISS the inner calm I used to feel. Its not that I dont know that FATHER is capable of repairing Obama’s mess, -HE certainly is, -its just that I am not sure HE will say ‘yes’ to this prayer. Because he didn’t say ‘yes’ to the prayers of the Jews as they were led to slaughter. -And the paryers of other peoples as they were wantonly. evilly slaughtered throughout the ages, many of whom fervently believed in GOD, and in Jesus. Even today, Christians are being slaughtered. I am SURE there were millions of Jews who prayed and asked for HIS deliverance when evil Hitler had his filthy talons in their necks. All the way to the incinerators -or gas chambers- basically the same thing, if your lungs are ‘on fire.’ …-My point is, I guess, is that FATHER said NO to their pleas. If HE intervenes on our behalf, HE is taking away the criminals’ right to essentially damn themelves to HELL eternally. At least, that is the way I see it. In fact, we all understand that we must die. I dont see how FATHER really cares just how that task is done- so long as it is done at some point. And why would HE care, really, how we accomplish it, since either way its done, we are returning Home to HIM… The prodigal child, as it were, imperfect, etc. So, THAT is what scares me. And what equally upsets me is that HE is giving me the opportunity to STOP these cretins from destroying our freedom that HE gave us, and am I doing enough? What worries me most is that I dont love, AT ALL, Barack Hussein Obama (or whomever he really is). -And THAT, I will get to answer to my FATHER for. In GOD’s eyes, which is the greater sin? That I despise Obama, or that Obama is destroying my freedoms and the freedoms I once knew my Grandchildren were going to grow up with? THAT, Sir, is my personal pain- as well as opportunity for transformation. Thank you for sharing YOUR transformation with us. I hope to someday have my own transformation outlined and planned into existence. Perhaps your leadership will somehow inspire me to correct my course. We shall see. Hopefully we will all have gentle transformations, because we certainly are being forced into transforming radically, like it or not.

These shows of Bishop Sheen should be shown again and again on TV. I recently saw one of his shows that is happening today. What a brilliant man of God.

I’ve come to realize that if your life is too comfortable, you are probably on the wrong path.

Thanks be to God that we know where to find the Way, the Truth and the Life. It is in the Catechism of the Catholic Church! Deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and the Magisterium and guided by the Holy Spirit into the definitive truth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The success of EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) can only be credited to God and His fidelity to His people on earth.

BE NOT AFRAID to proclaim the Truth! God is with us always until the end of time.

He is brilliant and his wisdom has lasted through the past few crazy decades. There is an app available with all of his talks on it. Really worth the time and effort to find it and listen to all of it.

As Tony mentioned, the shows are available through EWTN.

If only, I say. If only people would care enough to WAKE UP and start realizing that their one vote means so much to the country. Read, read and read some more. Read all sides of every issue facing our country. Then make an informed decision. Don’t just vote a certain way because your parents did, or you did in the past. Time is of the essence of we, as a nation are to survive. Thanks Glen for being who you are and continuing your efforts. You mean so much to this country.

Beautiful.

What a teaser!

You WILL OVERCOME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF YOUR TESTIMONY

DON’T GIVE UP. You’re in a spiritual warfare and the KEY IS WORSHIP!
(soldiers get tired sometimes)

I featured you on my blog today. I think you are a wonderful man and father, and a man of your word. I was honored to introduce you to my blog followers and credit your beautifully-intimate post about your time with God on the plane. It’s here if you care to read: http://www.themeshwarrior.com #thmeshwarrior @themeshwarrior

He must not have told you what I do with the money. Did he tell you since God spoke with you? I never saw the commandment to not be rich but I do remember thou shalt not steal and thou shalt not covet thy neighbors goods. .

hey obummer lover….GO HOME!!!

Do you even know what that means. The term “needle” does not refer to a sewing needle but a gate entry into a city where the entry was short and the rider of a camel would have to dismount and hobble his camel to it’s knees in order for it to get through the gate. Abraham was wealthy. Look at his account of livestock etc. King David was a rich King. Look at the wealth he had. King Solomon was the wealthiest person to ever live. Look at the account of his wealth. By your judgmental standards they would all be in hell. Your Biblical ignorance is only matched by you petty jealousy. Take the log out of your eye so you see the splinter in others.

Thank you Sir, great post!!

I must say I hear much the same as you do. Would be a sad thing to see this happen. Maybe, just maybe Glenn is not hearing that still small voice. I do know morality is the bedrock of our foundation and the directive of a Holy and Righteous God. The principles we have stood on for all these years. We have to read the book and not glean so much from the voices in our own head-they may not be of God. What is in the book is truth. God said “My thoughts are not your thoughts” and If the foundations fail where will the righteous be?” I hope we are not seeing the failing of one of our great mentors of righteousness taking a wrong direction. If we accept into our society and our own lives what Christ has expressly forbid, we fall on our own sword. “When he righteous rule the people rejoice, when the ungodly rule the people mourn.”Scripture says to add or take away from the words of the Holy book, let that person be acursed..Maybe now would be a good time for Glenn to step away and spend more time on the farm before he is caught up in a quagmire of his own making. Time to ponder and read. We all especially need the written word now more than ever…[Proverbs 3:5-6] Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not on your own understanding. 6: In all thy ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths.” Love to All..

You are no doubt a democrat which means your are a thief, a supporter of homosexuals, supporter of baby killers and a company of liars. You had better look in the mirror. But Jesus can save even you because he saved me too.

Thank you Glenn. What you said was amazing. I want to be angry because I’m hurt that the country I love, the country I am so thankful for, that was paid for with the loss of the lives of others is being torn apart. I have hope, I pray for this Country. I also ask God how do I love the sinners that have done this, when I hate the sin and what it has done. In my feeble mind the two seem as one. I know I can only give that to God. Thank you for being bold and for putting God and your Faith up front for us all to see and learn from. And know that we do gather strength to do the same from your example. Thank you for listening to the Lord when he talks to you in that quiet voice. Please never feel alone, know that you, your family and the people you work with are in my prayers. Keep up the good fight.

I loved hearing you read this… Heard it on the way back from a bike ride early Friday morning and it set the tone (beautifully) for my day and the Father’s Day weekend. I was even inspired to buy a Father’s Day card for my husband that read: “Father Mows Best” on the front because he always refers to his time on the mower is his time to think and relax.
We love you Glenn – Always have… Always will.

Glenn,
A couple of weeks a go you shared about reading the New Testament cover to cover for the first time, and how you were seeing things in a new perspective.
When you finish your current reading plan, may i suggest that you try the following for at least 7 days (and with at least 1-2 others who will commit to doing it with you):
1) choose one book or section of 4-6 chapters; 2) read through these same ones every day; 3) let the same passages marinate your heart/mind/soul/spirit; 4) ask the following questions for yourself and for discussion: a)what does the text testify about mankind; b) what does the text reveal about God/Jesus/Holy Spirit; c) what does a follower do in response to the revelations of (a) and (b); d) what do you need to change to look like the follower of (c); e) what will happen if you do it/don’t do it? This method helps see the whole forest rather than focusing on one part of one tree, and meeting with 1-2 others helps keep accountability.
There is only One you have to please and our time on this side of the veil is like a drop in the ocean. i have listened to your show when my work schedule allowed and many times have prayed for you to see what the Lord is revealing for your life. Regardless of theological differences that may or may not exist, i know the Lord is working through you and it seems more apparent than ever that you are experiencing His irresistible will. Keep seeking and His strength and grace will lift you up. Continue with an open heart and mind to the Lord and His revelation in His Word–the Lord will fill it.

Glenn, How open you are with us. Yes, take the time for the silence. This is only time you can really hear God. What better treasure do we have to give to Him who gives everything — only our time. Before you know it, you will yearn to be with Him in the silence daily.

This is wonderful, Glenn.. Well done.. ‘A voice that questions, condemns or emboldens with truth.’.. yes, my son, you found God’s voice in you.. your amazing conscience is now your guide.. I have no doubt you are well on your way to being a fine man. Beautifully written, wonderful description.. EPIPHANY Glenn Beck, well done indeed
