VIDEO: Sarah Palin Delivers Speech At Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally

Newscast Media Washington D.C. –On the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, TV host and radio personality Glenn Beck kicked off the much anticipated “Restoring Honor” rally with former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.

“America today begins to turn back to God,” Beck told the mostly conservative crowd, as they cheered throughout his speech.

The TV host also said that the rally would reclaim the civil rights movement, in a response to the accusation by Al Sharpton that Beck had hijacked the movement.

In her speech, Sarah Palin proclaimed how proud she was to have raised a combat veteran, who happens to be her son, and stressed the need to support the troops as well as take care of them and their families when they return home.

Palin said, “I must assume that you too, knowing that we must not fundamentally transform America as some would want, we must restore America, and restore her honor.” She continued her speech by saying, “Now, I’ve been asked to speak today, not as a politician, no, something more. Something much more. I’ve been asked to speak as the mother of a soldier, and I am proud of that distinction. You know, say what you wanna say about me, but I raised a combat vet, and you can’t take that away from me.”

In his weekly radio/Internet address Saturday, Obama said: “Our nation’s commitment to all who wear its uniform is a sacred trust that is as old as our republic … a moral obligation to uphold.”

Glenn Beck Rally Gets Support From Christian Community

Newscast Media — Television and radio personality Glenn Beck will be joined by approximately 2,000 ministers and religious leaders are expected to attend Beck’s “Divine Destiny” event Friday night ahead of the television and radio personality’s more publicized “Restoring Honor” rally on Saturday.

“Whether we care to believe it or not, our country is in our danger’s hour,” says Beck. “And there’s only one answer.”

Beck spent the past year trying to forge relationships with some of the biggest names in the Christian community an effort he admits has been extraordinary because of his faith and who he is.

Raised in a Catholic home, Beck has become increasingly popular among social conservatives for his political commentaries but has not been so easily embraced by Christian theological conservatives who regard Mormonism as heresy or, at best, non-Christian. Before deciding to stand by Beck, evangelical megachurch pastor Jim Garlow said he had to do a lot sorting and watched Beck as closely as he could.

“I have listened and watched very carefully regarding clues to Glenn’s spiritual condition,” said the lead pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa, Calif.

“I have interviewed several people who have been with him and have talked very specifically with him regarding his own personal salvation,” he added. And according to Garlow, Beck has said “unequivocally” that that he relies on the atonement of Jesus on the cross for forgiveness for his sins.

“[A]nd those are almost the exact words, “Garlow recalled in a five-page memo released this past Tuesday. “Few people use the term atonement. Glenn did. “Southern Baptist leader Richard Land was reportedly surprised to hear the Gospel so clearly on secular television.

“I have interviewed persons who have talked specifically with Glenn about his personal salvation – persons extremely well known in Christianity – and they have affirmed (using language evangelicals understand), ‘Glenn is saved,’” Garlow reported. “He understands receiving Christ as savior.”

Still, Garlow made it clear that he doesn’t see eye-to-eye with Beck on a number of things, including theology. But the megachurch pastor noted that everyone’s theological understanding is off and that only the most arrogant would say that its 100 percent perfect.

“Here is my question: if your theology is off slightly, but you still trust exclusively in Jesus Christ’s death on the cross for your salvation, and in his resurrection, are you still saved? Going to heaven? Yes,” Garlow argued. http://newscastmedia.com/glennbeck.htm
