Restoring Honor

Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor celebration in Washington DC yesterday spurred a conversation between my sister and I. I hope everyone got a chance to either check it out on C-Span or actually attended. Well anyway back to the story, my sister thought it might put people off that he's move to a very religious stance, actually quoting scripture. I on the other hand believe that's what's missing in America, we've drifted from our faith.

The lack of character and integrity is fueled by a lack of morals. Those morals are defined by the Bible. We've loosely interpreted those teachings. When you begin to accept less than the message written in the Scripture, then you justify bad behavior. It then begins to snowball, and that's where we are today.

In her defense she said most people don't either know or understand the Bible. Exactly! Allowing people to become aware of the Scripture just might lead to an ah ha moment. Where else are they going to hear it? Quote it then explain it, and then live it. Leadership is influencing people in a positive direction. Leading by example! People follow you and want to emulate you because of your example.

The irony is, my dear sister was the one who suggested I check out Glenn Beck's message. I have to agree with the example he's setting, and the direction he's going. He's leading with love, and with people like Dr Alvita King by his side, he cannot help but succeed. God speed Glenn! And as a footnote, shame on you Al Sharpton, you've exposed yourself with your self serving attitude.

God Bless!
