If you missed the live video of Restoring Love, be sure to watch it on-demand — see how here.
–
The three days of Restoring Love concluded Saturday night with tens of thousands of people packed into Cowboys Stadium for two hours of music, history and inspiration. The mainstream media covered the event to an extent, but in the end Restoring Love was not about the media. It was about the people in the stadium, and those who serve around out country and their families.
The Blaze caught up with attendees immediately after the event. Children, veterans and whole families wandered the stadium floor, many of which had traveled hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles to attend.
One proud attendee, who was celebrating her 80th birthday, offered her breathless take on the event:
“[Beck] brought us all home. He brought us all to the America we need to be. We lost it a while back, We forgot what we were doing. We all sat back and did nothing. I wasn’t really involved in politics, but since 2009, I’m adamant. I’m bringing my country back, that’s all there is to it.”
The reactions from an overwhelmed, inspired audience says it all:

Posted on July 31, 2012 at 12:59pmWow there seems to be more troll comments on here lately. It looks like The Blaze is doing a good job at grabbing peoples attention. You trolls just can not stay away can you? I find it hilarious that you think that the comments that you make on here are going to make a difference to the patriots that come to this sight. You may get a rise out of some of us, but that is about as far as it goes. I think you are actually doing us a favor. You make us realize that we must always be diligent in our beliefs because liberal trolls are everywhere. So thanks trolls keep up the good work.

Posted on July 31, 2012 at 12:55amWe went to the Saturday events, (Tin Ship Productions) and it was powerful. We couldn’t help it and had to run the camera around a bit to find out what was going on outside the stadium. We interviewed the counter-protesters to find none of them had anything to do with the Restoring Love events. The media was wrong about that. http://youtu.be/wyf6qAkQ2bY

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 5:25pmThere’s a religious war brewing between Beck and Rev Keller:
As I shared yesterday, Ravi Zacharias, Franklin Graham, and David Jeremiah got so much heat (mostly from Liveprayer family members), that they have now dropped out of being part of satanic cult member Glenn Beck’s weekend in Dallas of mocking God and Jesus. It is sad that we now have to applaud men of God for NOT being part of making a mockery of God and the Lord, but sadly that is where we are at. For the record, Pat Gray, friend, radio co-host, and a high priest in the Mormon cult who led Beck into that perversion, emailed me last weekend upset that I was exposing his boss and the true beliefs of their cult.
On that same subject, it is funny that the gutless Joel Osteen did a special interview with Beck’s Mormon propaganda service “The Blaze,” and defended himself from the critics like myself and others who have blasted him for being nothing more than a cotton candy, prosperity/motivational preacher. In his typical wimpy verbiage, he said he doesn’t like upsetting people. Really? Jesus Himself said the Gospel would be offensive. Men and women over the last 2,000 years have DIED for the Gospel. At the end of the day, Osteen only cares about himself and being ‘liked’ by the masses who buy his books and help in to take in millions

I like Luke 9:49-50.
Glenn is building something.
It is important to build and repair.
It is important to serve each other, and I am happy to lend a hand.
I will work alongside any religion, any creed or color to help them help others.
You may have your views on Glenn and Pat’s religion, and they may well be true (but as a Latter Day Saint, I doubt it), but to not lend a hand and instead commit to tear it down is a difficult concept for me to grasp.
“…for he that is not against us is for us.”

How do we put Strength back in America from Obama Weakening us and putting America at GRAVE RISK of being taken over? How do we Stop the PROBLEMS? Smiling and being Happy about a Event is not Solving any of this. Why has Obama NOT BEEN Impeached? Why has Impeachment not even been Discussed? We are in TROUBLE! That’s Why! I’m very ill.

Can you imagine going to school and seeing your teacher dressed in 50′s basketball shoes, old faded jeans and a wrinkled sport coat? It‘s plenty easy to be critical but man you’ve got to have more common sense than to dress like an old hippie in front of 65,000 people that came to see you.
Glenn‘s great but I’m not sure he realized that you need to be respectful before you can truly be respected.
Question: would Glenn dress like that for his son or daughter’s wedding?

Posted on July 30, 2012 at 5:17pmAccording to this evangelical pastor, GOD is not too happy with Glenn.
Keller continued, “At Beck‘s ’Restoring Love’ rally in Dallas this weekend, he has successfully bought and paid for some very well known men and women who decided that helping Beck perpetuate his LIE that he is a Christian when Mormon doctrine is 100% inconsistent with Biblical Christianity, is more important than advocating Biblical Truth and the Biblical Gospel message.”
Keller went on, “Make no mistake, Beck has 3 goals this week. Making millions of dollars, helping to make his Mormon cult mainstream, and insuring his fellow cult member Mitt Romney becomes the next President. Beck will mix good works (that those in his cult erroneously believe will help them become ‘god’ upon their death), polytheistic spirituality, and conservative politics, in order to accomplish these goals this weekend!”
Report Post »conservative beckhater
Posted on July 30, 2012 at 5:19pmKeller had a heated email exchange with Beck’s mentor, a high priest and lifelong Mormon cult member Pat Gray, in which Gray called Keller a ‘charlatan,‘ ’a phony,‘ ’a fraud,‘ and ’liar,’ because Keller has been in the media for years exposing Beck and his true motives for many years now which is to advance his cult and insure the first Mormon cult member becomes the President of the United States in accordance with the “White Horse Prophecy” of the Mormon cult’s founder Joseph Smith.
Keller concluded, “I am saddened to see some of these names willing to compromise their great ministries to give credibility to the lies of Beck‘s Mormon cult simply for being able to access Beck’s large audience and whatever monetary gain they will achieve. People like James Robison, Ravi Zacharias, David Jeremiah, Tony Evans, Franklin Graham, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, John Hagee, Ken Hutcherson, Richard Land, Bishop Harry Jackson, Jim Garlow, David Barton, Rick Scarborough, Tony Perkins, Ralph Reed, along with several high profile Roman Catholic Priests, Jewish Rabbis, and Muslim Imams. Christians should be outraged and shun these gutless men and women who compromise and sell out the faith to stand with a true minion of Satan!”
