Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Brannon Howse welcomes guest Todd Friel of wretchedradio.com to discuss what took place at Glenn Becks 8-27 and 8-28 rallies. We play lots of sound bites of Glenn Beck in his own words. Topic One: Beck starts rally with Mormon theology that Native Americans are God's chosen people. Topic Two: Beck used the phrase "higher self" three times in the interview with Chris Wallace. No one talks that way unless they know exactly what they are saying. What was Beck talking about and how does it connect with his statement last week when he said "I Am That I Am is the most powerful phrase in any language as it is the name of god, never use it in vain; use it to create who you want to be. I am blank." Topic Three: Beck tells Chris Wallace that he is a Mormon and describes the Mormon theology of salvation. Topic Four: Dr. Erwin Lutzer predicted, at our Branson 2010 Worldview Weekend, that the conservative media would turn on Biblical Christians that stand for Biblical truth. That turning began with Glenn Beck himself last Friday when he used the term religious bigots when talking about a CNN article that quoted Brannon Howse and another Christian writer on why they could not spiritually unite with Glenn Beck. That turning continued today with a conservative talk show host that is a frequent face on Fox News Channel who reportedly railed on evangelicals for not uniting with Beck. We play the clip of Dr. Erwin Lutzer and his warning from last April as he explains how this turning on Bible obedient Christians will resemble what happen in another country and at another time. Watch it to greatly increase. Topic Five: Beck has set the stage for "conservatives" to accept a one-world religion and numerous leaders of the religious right pulled the ropes that raised the curtain on this ecumenical stage. Glenn Beck has accomplished what Oprah Winfrey or Shirley McClain could not. I believe that Beck used his conservative veneer and doublespeak to co-opt leaders of the religious right. Beck and these evangelical leaders have sent the message that it is acceptable for millions of "Christians" to embrace humanistic spirituality and paganism for the purpose of social activism and social change.

Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Topic One: Kirk Cameron, the actor and Christian, is Brannon's guest today to explain from a Biblical position why he could not attend "Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny" event on 8-27, after being invited. Topic Two: On his radio program today Glenn referenced a CNN article that also ran today in which CNN took a portion of Brannon's article from our website in which Brannon, explained from the Scriptures, why we can unit with Mr. Beck on non-spiritual issues but we Biblically cannot unite with him on his self-described spiritual event. On today's radio program Glenn said "looking to one God is the theme" of the 8/28 event. Glenn referred to the CNN article and said "so now the religious bigotry is there too". Since Howse is quoted in the article explaining why we cannot unite with Mr. Beck spiritually, we assume he means Brannon when he says "religious bigotry." Why are we not being religious bigots but Biblical Bereans. Topic Three: Would one of Beck's goals be to convince the American people that Mormonism and Christianity are one in the same; after all as Beck said "looking to one God is the theme" of the 8/28 event. Topic Four: Mr. Beck said on his radio program on August 27, 2010 that "the spirit is going to teach tomorrow, and you are going to feel things you have never felt before; 8-28." Should we ask what spirit since Glenn is a self-confessed Mormon as recently as on his TV program at 4:38 pm CT on Friday, August 27th. It clearly will not be the Holy Spirit of the Bible because God's Spirit cannot teach that which is unbiblical such as "looking to one God." Topic Five: We take your calls. A pastor calls in to ask if Glenn Beck may be setting up his fellow Mormon Mitt Romney for another run for the White House by trying to convince the American people that Mormons are the same as Christians. The pastor is asked what he thinks and he said he believes it is part of the overall agenda.

Harry L. Kraus Jr. is a board-certified general surgeon who has practiced both in the U.S. and abroad in Kenya as a medical missionary with Africa Inland Mission. He is author of several fiction and non-fiction books, including the one discussed today called, Domesticated Jesus.
As Kraus points out, when we work to domesticate animals the idea is to have those animals serve us.
On that note, how often have you treated Jesus the same way; perhaps asking for the forgiveness of sins but then asking Jesus to relate to you on your terms, telling him you don’t want to talk about sacrifice and lordship.
We tend to act like this because we want to be the boss; we want to be in control. Kraus calls it the “vending machine” God. We put forth a prayer and hope we get the result that we want. That, however, is actually a very small God, not the loving, huge, powerful God of the Bible.
We can also communicate that same, small God by thinking we have to do works in order to obtain favor with him, a position that nullifies the cross. Kraus says at that point a person is functioning under what he refers to as “gospel debt” and the answer to that debt is God’s grace.
These examples show how we tend to domesticate Jesus by our own immature faith and by acting Christian. These factors have their own chapter titles, and you’ll learn more when you review this edition of Crosstalk.

Finding the will of God can be a challenge. Knowing you are walking in God’s will is really crucial in marriage. A lifetime is a long time. Second-guessing your choice of a mate is no fun, so today we’re going to hear more principles to live by in making wise decisions about marriage. These principles come from all over the Bible, so get ready to flip a lot of pages as we spend time in the Word.

Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Original air date: August 26, 2010 at 1pm CT. Can We Better Understand Glenn Beck's Divine Destiny By Understanding What the Mormon Church Says About The Constitution, America, and the Last Days? Brannon's guest on his radio program today was Ed Decker, a former Mormon for twenty years before becoming Christian. On today's program Brannon plays sound bites of a speech given by Mormon President Ezra Taft Benson entitled "Our Divine Constitution" and Ed responds. Glenn Beck said on his TV program on August 26, 2010, that the event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday August 28th, 2010, will not be a political event. A few days before this Glenn said the event will not be a Christian event but a God event. What God are we talking about? Is Glenn acknowledging that it is indeed all about a spiritual agenda that has been well laid out by leading Mormon leaders including the now deceased President of the Mormon Church, Ezra Taft Benson? Glenn said that the money for this event was raised months ago. Did the Mormon Church assist in covering the costs for this event and if so for what purpose? Here are the sound bites we played on the radio program today from the speech given by Ezra Taft Benson. Ezra Taft Benson: I reverence the Constitution of the United States as a sacred document. To me its words are akin to the revelations of God, for God has placed His stamp of approval upon it. Brannon Howse: This is out right heresy! We are told in Deuteronomy 4:2 not to "add to the word which I commanded you, nor take from it." Saying the Constitution is "akin to the revelation of God" is adding to the Bible and is for sure lowering the supremacy of the Word of God and thus heresy. If the Constitution is akin to the Word of God, why has it been changed so many times? Ezra Taft Benson: I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith….It will be saved by enlightened members of this Church—among others—men and women who understand and abide the principles of the Constitution.
Brannon Howse: It is the Mormon Church and "enlightened" Mormons that will save America? If America is to be saved it will not be by the false gospel and false Jesus of the Mormons following the principles of the Constitution that they have elevated to being equal to the Word of God. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says that "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." Part of the wickedness America needs to turn from is following the Jesus of the cults or the Jesus of Oprah's pagan spirituality. The very thing the Mormons are doing, and many Christian Americans are following, will actually not reclaim America but bring God's judgment.
Ezra Taft Benson: Have we read The Federalist papers? Are we reading the Constitution and pondering it? Are we aware of its principles? Are we abiding by these principles and teaching them to others? Could we defend the Constitution? Can we recognize when a law is constitutionally unsound? Do we know what the prophets have said about the Constitution and the threats to it? Brannon Howse: I am all for returning to the original intent of America's Founding Fathers but the cross is higher than the flag and the Word of God is above the Constitution. If we really want to defend a Constitutional Republic we must get back to the Word of God; not the Mormon Bible and Mormon teachings on end-times beliefs. How many Christians know the Mormons want to build God's kingdom on earth and build the New Jerusalem in Independence, Missouri? Ezra Taft Benson: We are fast approaching that moment prophesied by Joseph Smith when he said: “Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground, and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean, and they shall bear the Constitution away from the very verge of destruction” (19 July 1840, as recorded by Martha Jane Knowlton Coray; ms. in Church Historian’s Office, Salt Lake City). Brannon Howse: The Mormon Church, in recent years, has found itself in another public relations problem so Ed Decker says they have backed away from this belief. However, all Mormons know of this prophecy by Joseph Smith and believe the Mormon Church and its "enlightened members of this Church" will restore America's honor. Sound familiar? Is this the goal of Glenn Beck's restoring America's Honor rally? Is Glenn Beck committed to this Mormon movement that will restore America and usher in the "Kingdom of God" on earth? What does Glenn Beck mean by God? Does Glenn reject the Mormon god that was a man of flesh and bone that evolved to be the God of this universe by living a good Mormon life? Does Glenn believe he can become a god with many goddess wives and populate his own planet? Does Glenn believe that Jesus is the brother of Satan that was voted by a council to come to earth? Glenn has said that 80% of his life revolves around the Mormon Temple. Glenn owes it to all of us that have watched him to answer these questions particularly since Glenn has challenged the president to be clear about his religious beliefs. Ezra Taft Benson: Only in this foreordained land, under its God-inspired Constitution and the resulting environment of freedom, was it possible to have established the restored church. It is our responsibility to see that this freedom is perpetuated so that the Church may more easily flourish in the future. The Lord said, “Therefore, I, the Lord, justify you, and your brethren of my church, in befriending that law which is the constitutional law of the land” (D&C 98:6). Brannon's Howse: So in the end, the big push for returning to the founding principles is for the goal of the flourishing of the Mormon Church? How many people are aware of this ultimate goal? How many Americans want to live in a Mormon theocracy? Before you react and by their claim that they are not for a theocracy you had better read the "Law of Consecration" that Mormons swear to in the LDS temple ritual. Among other things, the officiator requests that swear to "consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you , to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion."
Ezra Taft Benson: Our Father in Heaven planned the coming forth of the Founding Fathers and their form of government as the necessary great prologue leading to the restoration of the gospel. Recall what our Savior Jesus Christ said nearly two thousand years ago when He visited this promised land: “For it is wisdom in the Father that they should be established in this land, and be set up as a free people by the power of the Father, that these things might come forth” (3 Ne. 21:4). America, the land of liberty, was to be the Lord’s latter-day base of operations for His restored church.
Brannon Howse: So the god of the Mormons, who was once a man of flesh and bone, planned America so the gospel of the Mormon Church could be restored? When did Jesus visit the promise land, which they call America? You will only find that in the Mormon Bible. Notice Taft is quoting from the Mormon Bible where they say that Jesus declared that America would become the "Lord's latter-day base of operations for His restored church." If Glenn Beck's event on 8/27 and 8/28 are not political events but spiritual events don't you think people should be aware of both the spiritual and political agenda of the Mormon Church that Glenn has said 80% of his life revolves around? If Glenn said come to these two events to learn more about the Constitution of the United States which is equal to the inspired Word of God; how many Christians would still attend? Sadly, I believe most American Christians have little Biblical discernment and thus even if Glenn publically equated the Constitution as "akin to the revelations of God…" as did Ezra Taft Benson they would still be at his beckon call because they are so hungry for a conservative leader and so eager to reclaim the founder's original intent. I believe many self-professing Christians will betray God's ordained Word which will surely guarantee that we do not reclaim America but that our destiny will be divine judgment.

Crosstalk

Joseph Farah is a former newspaper editor and the founder, editor and CEO of WorldNetDaily.com, the world’s leading independent Internet news source.
As reported on last Thursday’s Crosstalk, WorldNetDaily is sponsoring next month’s National Take America Back Conference in Miami. Well known conservative icon Ann Coulter was scheduled as a keynote speaker but was dropped after it was discovered that she was planning to speak at HOMOCON, an event being sponsored by GOProud.
Upon hearing of her dismissal, Coulter verbally criticized Farah and his staff, as well as making light of WorldNetDaily’s concentration on the Obama birth certificate issue.
This program is an update that also brings details concerning GOProud, a homosexual Republican organization that Farah feels is trying to infiltrate and subvert the conservative movement.

When you look around, some people seem to have what’s known as “a marriage made in heaven.” Everything’s going great, or is it. When tough times begin, some wonder if their marriage came from somewhere far from heaven. Christians may think they married out of God’s will when the struggles really mount. Today we will learn how God’s will comes into play in our choice of marriage partners.

Worldview Matters with Brannon Howse
Original air date was August 25th at 1pm CT. Topic One: Author of an article on the 9-12 Project that criticized Brannon now writes that she agrees with Brannon's Biblical stance on Glenn Beck's spiritual event. Topic Two: Hear Glenn Beck in his own words on his radio program on August 24, 2010 say that you can use the phrase; "I am that I am" "to create who you want to be". Did Jesus tell us in Matthew and Luke that the increase of people saying "I am" about themselves would be a sign we are in the last days? Why is "The Secret" that promotes the "I am" theology and law of attraction unbiblical? Topic Three: On his August 24th radio program Glenn says that "Hell is an eternity of regret, not being able to forgive yourself". Mormons do not believe in an eternal hell for the fast majority of people. Everyone will end up in one of three levels of heaven except for those who received the Mormon gospel and the Holy Ghost but reject both will be cast into outer darkness for eternity according to the Mormons Doctrines and Covenants 76:28-35, 44-48. Do we see anywhere in the Bible where we can forgive ourselves; is this even Biblical terminology? How do the self-love and self-forgiveness beliefs connect? Does the Bible say it is a good thing to love yourself or should we die to self? What does it mean to love your neighbor as yourself? Topic Four: On August 24th radio program Glenn Beck says "people are good; they want to do the right thing." What does the Bible say about this? Is man basically good? Does man want to do what is right? How does this belief fit with humanism, universalism and Mormonism? What did the apostle Paul say about his own fleshly desires in Romans 7? Topic Five: Glenn Beck says on his August 24th TV program that the 8/27 and 8/28 event is not a Christian event but a God event. What God is he speaking of? Why on the very same TV program is Glenn telling us that Obama needs to be clear about his faith when Glenn has been so unclear about his? Topic Six: Glenn says to bring your "spirit" to this weekend's events. Is the 8/28 going to turn into an event like the 8/27 event? Topic Seven: John Hagee sends out an e-mail alert asking people to join him and Glenn Beck for this "national prayer meeting" on August 27th. Will Hagee and Beck be praying to the God of the Bible or the God of the Mormons who was once a man? Topic Eight: We take your calls.

Crosstalk
Ingrid began this edition of Crosstalk referencing Psalm 36:1 and Romans 3:10-18; verses that focus on the holiness and fear of God.
But what are we to think when evangelical churches, churches that purport to represent the gospel of Jesus Christ, don’t have the fear of God before their eyes?
Ingrid presented proof as she played a portion of music from a CD called "Crazy Praze", by Brentwood Music. The portion she played was from "The Throw-Up Song". The song itself is a double entendre, because while on the surface it sounds like a simplistic praise song for children, the lyrics are comprised of words that are also slang terms for the act of vomiting.
In contrast, Ingrid mentioned some excellent resources on the topic of the holiness and fear of God.
For example, she highlighted portions of an article by Brett McCracken called, The Perils of Wannabe Cool Christianity. McCracken is the author of the book, Hipster Christianity: Where Church and Cool Collide.
Also mentioned is a book entitled, The Fear of God: A Forgotten Doctrine by Arnold Frank, as well as an article by Bob Deffinbaugh called, "The Holiness of God".
