(Western
Journalism) – Dr. Ben Carson told an audience of thousands at the Faith and
Freedom Coalition Presidential Forum on Saturday that inviting God back into
America is part of his prescription for what ails the nation. He encouraged the
evangelical crowd that they have an important role to play in bringing about a
renaissance of faith and liberty in the culture. “It is time to bring God back
into our country,” Carson stated. “Our faith gives us our freedom.”
The former neurosurgeon used his own
life as an illustration of God’s ability to transform the individual, who can
then turn around and spread the good news and help change the culture.
Breitbart reports that Carson spoke about the anger issues that he
had as a teenager. “At one point, he described a fight he got into with another
man where he actually stabbed the man with a knife because of his rage.
Fortunately, the man was wearing a large metal belt buckle that broke the
blade. The man safely fled, but Carson was shocked at what happened because
of his temper,” according to the news outlet.
Immediately following the incident,
he locked himself away and prayed and read Bible verses on anger for two hours.
What came out of that time was a recognition that his violent outbursts (which
had happened on previous occasions as well) were not his strength, but his
weakness. He told the Faith and Freedom audience that he has never had an
outburst of anger since that time with the Almighty. “God doesn’t just do a
paint job, he fixes things,” Carson said.
