"I told the staff today that I have a deeply personal relationship with God that I do not proselytize about, but I do, and I've been working that relationship tremendously," ~ Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh discusses his brother David's 'Jesus is Risen' book.

Jesus Is Risen: Paul and the Early Church

I had always wondered about Rush's faith. I had heard the quote live on his broadcast about 6 months ago, while discussing his health condition.

I had heard him talk about it that day - it was the only time he mentioned it.

I felt a lot better about his cancer diagnosis after that - knew he would be going, not to "a better place", but to the best place!

To: Psalm 73

To the end Limbaugh publicly credited his faith in Jesus with getting him through his very difficult battle with cancer.

“I have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is of immense value, strength, confidence and that’s why I’m able to remain fully committed to the idea that what is supposed to happen will happen when it’s meant to,” he said during one of his final programs.

He wavered greatly, for awhile. His biggest claim about his faith, years ago, was that he had a personal rabbi, which was the extent of it.

Thankfully, he came back around and has these great stories now shared.

David was a Freeper.

Rush always professed his faith in Jesus.

Another reason for the left to hate him. They’re not too fond of professed Christians.

...There was a group back in the 1990s — and they still exist.
There was a group in the 1990s that were malcontents, renegades, and off the mainstream plantation of conservatism as articulated by the party.
Those were the people that were the early participants in the website Free Republic.
They were known as Freepers. - Rush Limbaugh, July 3, 2013

He made the decision early on that he was not going to talk about religion on his show. I never considered that as a sign that he was not a believer. I figured that he was, because I grew to understand his “Talent on loan from God” was a statement of what he believed and NOT sarcasm.

Romans 12:3–8; English Standard Version
Gifts of Grace

3 For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4 For as in one body we have many members,5 and the members do not all have the same function, 5 so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, pin proportion to our faith; 7 if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; 8 the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads,6 with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
