MADISON, Wisc., April 24  -- In today's confusing times, we need clear Biblical messages. By  allowing Glenn Beck, a Mormon, to speak at Liberty University's Commencement,  Liberty's message becomes off-focus.
According to the Liberty  University's website, Glenn Beck will address Liberty University's Class of 2010  Commencement on Saturday, May 15. He will be joined by popular Baptist preacher  Dr. Paige Patterson.
Beck, a popular FOX NEWS announcer, is a well-known  Mormon. In 1999, Beck and his wife became members of the Mormon Church after his  daughter recommended Mormonism. Before this, he took a Yale University theology  class called "Early Christology," but dropped out.
While Beck presents  many factual presentations on his popular FOX NEWS show, he should not be  allowed to speak at a university that demands its students to believe that Jesus  Christ is the only way of salvation.
A commencement program should  feature strong Christians who have weathered the storms of life to become  leaders in their respective fields. This is what the school should be demanding  of its students. A commencement speaker should be what the school desires their  students to eventually become.
Christians should have active political  stands, especially during these uncertain times where politicians seem to lack  direction. However, we need to put Jesus Christ first and our political stands  will follow.
ChristianInvestigator.com's Steve McConkey says, "We are not  to put politics first and the Lord second. If this country is to have another  revival, we need to get back to the basics, just like an athlete who has to go  back to the basics to learn proper skills. We join Glenn Beck in many of his  viewpoints, however, we do not endorse his Mormon beliefs."
