Hello America,

We are now only a few days away from Restoring Love in Dallas, TX. It’s going to be an amazing week filled with music, service, faith, history and inspiration. For those of you who will be with me in Texas, you’re going to have the opportunity to roll up your sleeves alongside amazing, like-minded people from across the country during the events and the day of service. And for those of you who cannot join us in Texas, you’ll be able to watch exclusively on GBTV Plus.

We have arrived at a critical point in our nation’s history. We are being presented with a choice, and that choice is far bigger than whether you pull the lever for Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. Don’t get me wrong, the election in November is by far the most important we have seen in our lifetimes. But we can only fix Washington if we first fix ourselves.

Today our nation faces a choice between transformation and restoration. There are people in this country who want to see America transformed, who want to see it become something different than what it has always been. They don’t want America to light the way, but fall alongside other nations on the global playing field. Whether they realize it or not, this transformation fundamentally changes America’s unique and historic role in the world from a beacon of freedom to something far, far less.

We choose a different path. We choose restoration.

For the past three summers, we have been on a journey to restore the values and principles that made this country great. Honor. Courage. Love. It began on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, where hundreds of thousands of people came together to show the world that we weren’t looking to Washington, DC for answers, but to one another and to God. The journey continued last summer in Jerusalem, where we declared that no matter what our leaders may say, “We the People” will never abandon our allies in a time of crisis.

On July 28th, the trilogy of events that began with Restoring Honor and continued with Restoring Courage comes to a close with Restoring Love. But this event is only the next step for the movement of peace and freedom that began on 8/28/10.

At Restoring Love, you will join individuals from across the country as they come together to serve their fellow man. You will connect with history that has been long forgotten. You will see amazing musical performances from artists that will inject “goodness” into the mainstream culture. Most importantly, you will find the tools, the strength, and the inspiration to move forward in fixing yourself and this great country.

This hasn’t been an easy journey. Those who want to transform this country have a nearly hundred year head start. But we are so close to turning things and we cannot stop now. We will restore America – and we will do it together.

It will be love that holds us together through the next phase of this journey.

Whether you are with us in Dallas, TX or at home watching on GBTV – don’t miss a second of this extraordinary event.

Be a part of history. Be a part of the movement to restore America.

Laus Deo,

Glenn

    Remember the Holocaust of World War 2? It not just the Communists. The Muslims do not want Just the Jews dead but Everyone who is not Muslim.

    Britain has become Britastan and America has become Ameristan.

    It is not about freedom of speech or freedom of Religion anymore, it’s about survival of Freedom, Survival of America, Survival of the free Human. Muslims don’t want just Jerusalem, they want the world. Wake up People!

    God Save and forgive all the deaf, dumb and blind idiots! God Help us all!
    Tell me, would you have believed that our America would think like this and be this blind to what is happening in our country 12 years ago? Just Unbeliveable!

    May I add beings I am talking about saving the America,Saving the world, Remember the 4th Commandment of God! Seems almost everyone has forgotten it! Hint: It’s Saturday, NOT Sunday! Ask any Jew or Adventist or better yet, Read the Bible.

    Looks like a bunch of trolls came down from Ivory Towers to post comments — but that’s okay,
    they have not eyes to see nor ears to hear the truth. We all are with you brother and will stand
    with you until end – trolls or no trolls. Stay with that LOVE theme, it is the way out of trollville.

    Honestly, Glenn, no hating, just saying, there is no way I can stand beside Israel. Israel was killing POWs and the USS Liberty was getting records of it. So Israel, in a bid to keep that intelligence from getting “out in the open”, tried to sink the Liberty and insure there were no survivors of it by attempting to murder the crew! Israel has a law against Christian proselyting in the Holy Land. And you, Glenn, have the brass to call upon us as CHRISTIANS and as AMERICANS to defend Israel? Why, Glenn, why?

    As I am sure you well know, the Founding Fathers were urged to cease their rebellion against their own motherland in the name of Christian Peace and Christian Love. I am sure you know what the response was, but I will paraphrase it nonetheless. The Founding Fathers’ reply was something like, why is it only US to whom you preach love? Why don’t you condemn the perpetrators of the Boston Massacre, themselves, you know, the British, in the names of Christian Love and Christian Charity?

    So too I ask you, Glenn, “Why don’t YOU ever censor Israel in the name of ‘Restoring Love’?” Am I making reasonable sense? Or am I just another ignorant white supremacist who is not worthy of your reply?

    To use Star Trek/Wars analogy, if a profit-absorbed Glenn Beck Ferengian married a self-absorbed, wildly flirtatious Lwaxanna Troi Televangelist, the fruit of the marriage would be Troubled Tribbles, not Klingon Warriors for Freedom, not the Intelligent, Higher-Ground Love of Jean Luke Picard, not going no where no man has gone before, but rather… to greater levels of blinkering wile-craft, greater levels of hidden mind-enslavement, to the great hubris of Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader.

    In That Day Teachings are Yoda and the Jedi School of Hard Truths. The evil forces have blinded Beck and Beckbots about the true nature of the Televangelists’ Reality Distortion Machine! But when the brain-fog of mystic tyranny clears, the Luke Skywalkers can drop their dark swords of confused conflictedness and come forth with truth sabers of light.

    Ugly cannot cast out ugly.

    This get together is like Abraham Lincoln meeting in celebration with the English owners of Slave Ships that brought fresh Africans to be enslaved in the New World… and calling it a Freedom Meeting.

    Except the great seer, Glenn Beck doesn’t see it… yet.

    The restoration amounts to a restoration of turpitude. One plus one in this instance equals three, not two.

    American Televangelists are famous for their inability to ever be corrected. They preach greed through prosperity shenanigans (give to get!) They preach fear through rapture/end-times shenanigans (fear the beast!) They preach any darn thing and call it “emergent” ( it’s gobbledygook!)

    So, add an Entertainment Shenaniganizer plus Religious Shenaniganizer and you are supposed to come up with love, freedom and … what, sales of T-shirts emblazed “I AM A DUPE ENSLAVED BY RUBE-CREATING MASTERS OF HIDDEN ENSLAVEMENT!”

    James Madison said that all leaders are NOT angels.

    Beck might one day wake up to the unspeakable evils of Televangelists who dumb-down-their-Sheep through mind-tricks consisting of a) stage hypnotism, b) showmanship, c) misdirection and d) suggestion. (all on the unknowing!)

    If Beck awakens, he’ll not credit prior seers. He’ll just wake up and say, “GOSH! My followers must see how evil corrupt, uncorrectable and self-dealing American televangelists are!”

    Oft Televangelists will do this regarding their bad health habits. One day they wake up after visiting a doctor, and pretend they now, and they alone, can awaken everybody to health!

    Televangelists tend to enslave duped brains to tithe to their unending cause to create more blinkered rubes. Blinkering self-dealers free no one.

      So you really don’t know anything about Glenn. If you paid attention you would realize that he does tons of research and speaks the truth. If you want to deny that, you have the right. But it is still the truth. Check the facts before you attack!

    Seems to me that Glenn can’t win in the eyes of certain factions no matter how noble his intentions. Therefore, he must follow his heart and convictions and let the chips fall where they may. Whether you believe his motives honest or deceitful, I don’t think he cares at this point. You either believe in him or you don’t. I, for one, have watched, listened and read his books for several years now. I believe him to be earnest and truthful (as he knows it). I don’t always agree with him on every topic but, for the most part, I think he’s spot on. The comment about him being a self-promoter…well…duh! It’s not shameful self-promotion. Of course he’s in the business of self-promotion. That’s the nature of the business he’s in. If not him, then who? You don’t have to watch, listen, or buy his products. It’s called “free enterprise”. Freedom to choose it or lose it. I’d say his track record speaks for itsself.

    My criticism of Glenn would be simply…When you’re talking about serious things…be serious. Lay off the “schticky” stuff and give us the facts. Glenn is occasionally funny, but for the most part, I don’t like it when he tries to be funny. He’s often too sarcastic. “Less is more” on the sardonic schtick. Leave the schticky routines to Pat and Stu. They are funny. But, even those two can muddle up a serious topic with too much schtick. That’s my two cents. I know that most of you will disagree, but that’s ok.

    Modern broadcast Christianity, as represented by the Texas cabal Glenn Beck is co-joining with to increase audience, is ruinous and has been ruinous and will continue to be ruinous to the USA because it is virtually uncorrectable, and embraces greed (prosperity), fear-mongering (rapture-end-times) and mentality laziness ( itching-ears-doctrines). Televangelists are untruth-machines.

    Hence, ugly cannot cast out ugly, and Beck is trying to have a love-fest with those needing rebuke.

    The greed-fear-laziness doctrines of modern broadcast Christianity create, not fight against, slavery.

    How Much Verity in Vanity Can be Found?
    By Robert Winkler Burke
    Book #3 of In That Day Teachings
    10/11/08 http://www.inthatdayteachings.com

    How much verity in vanity can be found?
    I asked this question to my Lord so sound.
    He said, Who asks this question profound?
    I said, Just me, since no one else is around.

    He said, Are you asking about what makes Me often frown?
    Are you asking of broadcast preachers making sheep bound?
    Are you asking what I want now corrected or shut down?
    You’ve got Me stirred up. What do you want, My son?

    Sorry, Jesus, for the trouble.
    TV broadcast seems in a bubble.
    It seems almost ungovernable.
    For every truth, vanity is double.

    Double, Hah! Roared the Lord.
    Hundred fold vanity have they scored!
    Their message makes My heaven bored,
    Their prideful vanity is an ox un-gored.

      So verity and vanity cannot be mixed?
      And broadcast ministry cannot be fixed?
      The Lord said, Son it is much bewitched,
      But I, the Lord, can un-ditch the ditched.

      How, I asked, can this be done?
      With lots of pain, said God’s Son.
      When pain over pride has won,
      The restoration will have begun.

      I asked, You’ll send pain their way?
      No, They have already got it today.
      Their wrong thoughts keep help at bay,
      We repent of wrong doxies, They’ll say.

      When, when will they let more of truth in?
      When they say, Fear and greed are both sin,
      Rapture and prosperity we chuck in the bin,
      We all repudiate our false doxies in loud din!

      Then will verity beat vanity at last,
      The corrected will in truth stand fast,
      Then I abide in truth for Father’s task,
      Thank you, son, for what you have asked.

      Who will and won’t make Your abiding?
      The answer to this has everything riding!
      Son, the hopeless have inside pride hiding,jl
      But the humble and contrite are God siding.

    Glenn promotes not for his own benefit. Glenn reaps no money from this event. The money he does reap for his company is given freely by people, not “Taken” as our Administration does. He promotes with the purpose of being good to others. If this is self promotion..promote on Glenn, promote on! God Bless You and your family Glenn!

    I am looking forward to this event being over with, Glenn’s radio program and the Blaze has become to much of an informircial for restoring love event. I’ve listened to Glenn for about 10 years now and even been to his Christmas Show(which was great). He has always been a self promoter, but for me it has become too much in the last year or two and I have a hard time listening to his program now.
