Billy Graham cites worst sin people can commit

Billy Graham says, 'All sin is an act of rebellion against God.'

God does not view sin the same way man does. These days there are some sins that some people consider acceptable such as abortion and homosexuality, but God does not think that way.

“In God's eyes all sin is equally serious, because all sin is an act of rebellion against God,” Graham explains in his advice column for The Kansas City Star. “This includes not only doing wrong, but also failing ..

Billy Graham answers people who ask if God is responsible for evil in this world

Billy Graham says, 'When we do wrong, we can't blame anyone but ourselves, for we have chosen to turn our backs on God and go our own way.'

If God is in control of everything, why does evil still exist in this world? A reader posed this question recently to world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham as he wondered why the Devil gets blamed for every bad thing that happens.

“Let me assure you that God is not responsible for the evil in the world, nor will He ev..

Billy Graham says God has the power to transform the hearts of atheists

Billy Graham says, 'God can do what we never can do, including changing someone's heart and mind.'

As stubborn and hard-headed atheists might be in their disbelief in God, evangelist Billy Graham strongly believes that they can still change – but only with God's help and intervention.

“It happens all the time,” he writes in his column for The Kansas City Star. “I think, for example, of the countless people who grew up as convinced atheists in Communis..

Billy Graham asserts that Satan is real, cites reason why we should fear him

Billy Graham warns, 'Satan is not only real, but he is far greater than we are, so great that we should have every reason to fear him.'

While it is true that “Satan is not like you or me,” Graham writes in The Kansas City Star, the fact that he exists should not ..

Why godly leadership is important in the home

God desires that all Christians would exercise godly leadership in their homes. It is His plan that parents would teach their children to grow up to Him in righteousness, becoming godly people who would later make great impact in their areas of influence, wherever God puts them.

Sadly, however, many Christians don't show this characteristic towards their family members and relatives.

Godly parents

Did you know that God meant parents to be more than just providers of financial an..

Unchurched will talk about faith but aren’t drawn to worship

Only around a third of unchurched Americans would go to a worship service if they were invited by a friend, and few think about what happens after they die, according to new findings from LifeWay Research.

The survey of 2,000 unchurched Americans was conducted with the Billy Graham Center for Evangelism.

It found that while half of those who don't go to church still identify as Christian, they are mainly indifferent to organised religion. According to LifeWay's executive dir..
