I was really disappointed when he went on Family Guy. What a disgusting show.
He wasn’t the honored guest, he was the paid entertainment. He was “the band.”
Christian Talk Radio criticizes homosexuality and pop culture’s “normalization” of perversion.
Look up Jay Sekulow. He has a radio show and heads the American Center for Law and Justice.
On some FR threads, you would receive demands for pictures.
Beloved:
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
Placemark. Gotta ping tomorrow.
Jesus said to his disciples:
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,
because it neither sees nor knows him.
But you know him, because he remains with you,
and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me,
but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father
and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him.”
I’m getting uncomfortable with immortality.
In other words, Is the Spirit of Truth is one's conscience as it is matured and nurtured by the Holy Spirit?
Both your parts are quite true, and well said
Social clubs, yes, and singing songs about Jesus is my boyfriend.
I suspect that these happy-talk spiritual social clubs will eventually falter because of competition with so many purely secular “clubs” like Sunday morning soccer games for the kids.
Nowadays, alas, good churches are like the Marines — only a few good men (and women) are attending. But, of course, without the homosexuals in the foxhole :-)
I’ve never seen Family Guy, but thanks for the heads-up. Sorry that Rush went on it. Why can’t he do something high-profile with Focus on the Family (James Dobson) or Liberty University or even the conservative Catholic bishops? Maybe he does, behind the scenes, but I’ve never heard of anything.
Instead he hangs out with Elton John, Family Guy (as you said), the National Football League, and does an animal-rights commercial. All secular, or worse.
Yes, Elton John was paid, but he was certainly an honored guest as well. How could he not have been? They couldn’t be rude to him. He is now reportedly buddies with Limbaugh.
Elton, this man of decadence, who loathes conservative Christians, was the honored guest at a sacred event of holy matrimony.
Why not a Christian singer, like Pat Boone, or Lee Greenwood (I’m Proud to be an American!), or someone like that?
Sorry to say it is because he doesn't need to. He knows that the “conservative Christian” will continue to listen to him since he is the loudest “conservative” voice on the radio. This goes back to the idea of the Sunday morning social clubs. The majority of those attending church on Sunday are not well versed in the Scriptures and as such have no foundation for living a Godly life. I would even venture to say that most are thinking that we will get out of the mess we are in as a country by voting the right way...they are still not at the point of turning to God as the one true answer.
You’re right. The socially conservative Christian has no alternative. Certainly not Sean Hannity, best friends with Rudy “The Dress” Giuliani.
As your links to the show reveal, he’s brilliant when he talks about social issues. He just doesn’t choose to talk about them very often, except for shots at feminazis (I think he’s toned that expression these days). I pine for the days that he did “caller abortions” with a handheld vacuum cleaner.
I’d love to see a study on how much air time he spends on social issues like homosexual marriage, abortion and general spiritual decay, foul language and sexually suggestive matter on television. Probably not nearly as much as issues as he really gets excited about — the economy/socialism and the manifold flaws of Obama.

Some favorite quotes:
"Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites--in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity;--in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption;--in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon the will and appetite is placed somewhere: and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds can not be free. Their passions forge their fetters."
-- Edmund Burke
"[A] good moral character is the first essential in a man, and that the habits contracted at your age are generally indelible, and your conduct here may stamp your character through life. It is therefore highly important that you should endeavor not only to be learned but virtuous."
-- George Washington (letter to Steptoe Washington, 5 December 1790)
"Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in which all religions agree." --Thomas Jefferson
Of all the dispositions and habits which least to political prosperity, Religion and morality are indespensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great Pilliars of human happiness.
-- George Washington (Farewell Address, 19 September 1796)
"[W]hen People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." --Samuel Adams
"The foundation of national morality must be laid in private families. ... How is it possible that Children can have any just Sense of the sacred Obligations of Morality or Religion if, from their earliest Infancy, they learn their Mothers live in habitual Infidelity to their fathers, and their fathers in as constant Infidelity to their Mothers?" --John Adams
Apropos of the Burke quote, the standard now seems to be just the opposite: appetite is king, and any person (or worse, institution) who would curtail it for such “outdated” concepts as morality and self-control must in fact be the enemy of liberty.
Oops, didn’t mean to quote the Libertarian Party platform.
So Rush advises the caller and everyone to ignore the pushers of the homosexual agenda.
Great.
That has gotten us exaclty where we are now.
Rush is totally rotten on social issues.
