A Simple Message

There has been a constant in my life and that has been the Graham family. I have always been able to look to the Graham's to be faithful to the simple message of the Gospel which is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Their faithfulness to the simple message of the cross have brought millions to eternal life in Jesus Christ.

This morning I ran across a letter Franklin Graham wrote and I appreciate so much his faithfulness in writing it and his courage and commitment to stand firm in his calling to preach against sin that I wanted to include a vital portion of his letter here.

Too often in our day, people are not considered responsible for their own actions. Many in America have lost any real understanding of sin. We live in a society where killing, rape, and violence are part of our daily lives through movies, books, TV, and the Internet. Instead of wickedness and sin, we see entertainment. Instead of repentance, we shift responsibility. America accepts a nonstop stream of sin portrayed as entertainment, much of it delivered right into our homes, and when real-life wickedness interrupts, we watch with fascination instead of falling on our knees in prayer.

At the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, we are going to continue to preach against sin, calling it what it is, and we are going to continue to preach Jesus Christ who died on a cross for our sin. I’m not going to be politically correct. I’m not going to retreat. The Bible says, “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son,” and then it says, “Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11–12). ~ Franklin Graham

May God continue to bless the Graham's and the work they do in bringing people to Christ.

“The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).
