Billy Graham often spoke well of radical unbelieving preachers such as Norman Vincent Peale who did not believe the virgin birth was required for salvation and did not believe the New Birth was necessary; apostate Leslie Weatherhead who taught that Christ was a bastard and Mary was a temple prostitute; and Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam […]

Leave a Comment (It is far better to be uncomfortable with truth than lulled to sleep with pleasant lies. What follows is truth, not lies, which principled people must deal with even though they have had enormous lifetime respect for Billy Graham. My criterion is nothing but truth, the facts, no embellishments, just the truth. Shallow Christians cannot […]

Leave a Comment (I have climbed out on a limb in stating that Dr. Billy Graham made many major mistakes in his ministry that did great harm to the Christian cause. Moreover, he should be held up as an example lest others follow his compromise that always leads to corruption. He was never corrupt in his personal life […]

Leave a Comment (It is easy to be critical of a bad man such as a killer, dictator, sleazy politician, or child molester (unless he is from the Arabian Desert) but few are willing to correct, criticize, or censure a man who has many admirable, very commendable traits. Dr. Billy Graham was such a man. He was one […]

Leave a Comment (It is a time of international mourning since Dr. Billy Graham, a true saint of God (as opposed to a church-made saint), has just died.

The “bomb” had been dropped on two Japanese cities with more than two hundred thousand deaths and Hitler had put a bullet through his brain in his underground bunker. Bombed European cities were pulling themselves out of the rubble trying to begin life anew. American […]

Leave a Comment (The National Cathedral in D.C. is a magnificent Gothic building but it is full of dead men’s bones. Christ’s comparable term was “whited (whitewashed) sepulcher.” The official name of the church is Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in the City and Diocese of Washington, but I’m convinced Peter and Paul would not […]

Leave a Comment (A secret unknown to most people is the massive difference in true Christianity, nominal Christianity, and false Christianity. Christianity has made an impact on the world that even most educated people don’t comprehend. However, much of the bad fruit from nominal and false Christianity is laid at the feet of the real thing, thus twisting […]

Leave a Comment (The New Hebrides was an area known for infanticide, cannibalism, the sacrifice of the wives after the death of their husbands, violence, murder, and theft during the early 1800s when John Geddie arrived as a missionary. After 24 years of devoted service he died. Following his death, a commemorative tablet was placed in his memory: […]

Leave a Comment (It is astounding that the whole world is focused on the birth of a peasant born in a stable in Bethlehem 2,000 years ago! Nothing like this has been seen in man’s history. This week I mused about how the world would be different, deficient, and dangerous had He not been born; and precisely how […]
