A True Christian Word
Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God. Billy Graham
As a culture, we can’t please Jesus by celebrating the evil He died to set us free from.
Unfortunately I now live in a country which hates the Holy One of Israel. It shows in our entertainment and what we approve of legally.
Billy Graham’s wife Ruth said it best:
If God doesn’t punish America, He’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Feels true, doesn’t it?
There’s only one hope. We can still pray. Because thankfully, we serve a God of miracles and His specialty is changing hearts.
Holy Spirit:
- Cause my society to hunger once more for holiness.
- Break our hearts with a baptism of deep, personal conviction of sin.
- Give each of us times of gut-wrenching repentance.
You’ve noticed it haven’t you? I’m calling out for God to move in the hearts of both Christians and unbelievers. We all need a divine cleansing.

In July 2012, Billy Graham wrote an article entitled, “My Heart Aches for America.”
Wow, the truth of this message hits right between the eyes! And I agree with you that ultimately we still have hope, and for that I can stand with you in agreement over the prayer for repentance, inside and outside the church.
Thanks Gene. It’s weird to have hope, but I do. -M
