Glenn Beck

Dr. Couch, is Glenn Beck a Mormon? And if so, should we listen to him?

ANSWER:  I listen to Beck because he's a conservative and has a good research team. I have never heard him say anything that I could not agree to. I have never heard him push his Mormonism. And if he is, he is not a strong "doctrinal" Mormon. He talks constantly about the God of the founding fathers who would be the God of Scripture.

   The apostle Paul says "love that which is good" (Titus 1:8), and, "seek after that which is good" (1 Thess. 5:15). He does not say "only if the good is coming from evangelical Christians." Wherever good comes from we should be glad about. While we would like it to come from our biblical perspective this will not always happen just as we wish.

   Be glad that men like Beck are speaking out. We need such to do what we may not be doing!

   Thanks for asking.
