Hannity's Lessons on Impacting the Culture
The convocation service at Liberty University on Wednesday, September 17, served as a microcosm of what typically takes place on campus virtually every day.
After a beautiful period of praise and worship music, I had the privilege of introducing Virginia state Sen. Steve Newman (a graduate of our Lynchburg Christian Academy), who briefly addressed the packed out audience in our 10,000-seat Vines Center. Noting that Liberty students often serve as volunteers in his efforts, Sen. Newman talked of how his Christian education served as a foundation for the constant challenges in his political life.
"If you are grounded in your Christian walk," he said, "you have an internal compass and it shows you the way."
Sen. Newman is the author of Virginia's Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) bill to ensure that marriage remains a union solely between one man and one woman, and author of a partial-birth abortion bill. He promised to take that bill to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary to halt this brutal procedure. I am very proud of his efforts to preserve traditional values in this state that I love.
Then students had a real treat - Sean Hannity, host of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" was our main speaker. I believe Sean is the perfect man to address our students. In addition to his role on Fox News, he also speaks daily to 14 million people on 400 radio stations nationwide, promoting the Judeo-Christian principles of our Founding Fathers. In addition, he is now writing a follow-up to his national bestseller, "Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism."
