{PDF EPUB} Making Champion Men by Billy Graham Billy Graham, Franklin Graham and the Dangers of Mixing Religion and Politics Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Making Champion Men by Billy Graham Billy Graham, Franklin Graham and the dangers of mixing religion and politics. How will Billy Graham be remembered? Is his son Franklin damaging that legacy? Historian and Graham biographer Grant Wacker weighs in. How will evangelist Billy Graham (1918-2018) be remembered? And is his son Franklin damaging the religious leader’s legacy with his excessive politicizing for the Republican Party and Donald Trump? In the new biography “One Soul at a Time,” historian Grant Wacker, an emeritus professor at Duke Divinity School, builds on his previous work about Graham to explore the man behind the legend, and positions his six decades of ministry within the larger contours of American religious history. It’s a great read. I talked with Wacker recently. The interview has been edited for length and clarity. You already wrote “America’s Pastor , ” a definitive religious biography of Billy Graham. Why did you want to write “One Soul at a Time“? Well, my wife assures me this is the last word I will ever write about Billy Graham if I want the marriage to persist, and I do! So this will be the end. It was rewarding to go back over a project that I started off years ago as the more academic study of Graham in America, and then reconceived as a narrative that focused on the man himself. It gave me a chance to integrate some of the research that my students had done. It was satisfying in that I was able to bring in new scholarship, and also to change my mind about some aspects of Billy Graham. I became more aware of his complexity, that he was a truly great man but that he also had flaws and imperfections. This is what happens: Great men and women are always deeply flawed people as well. Billy Graham and President Dwight Eisenhower in an undated photo. Photo courtesy of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. What were some of those flaws? First, the strengths outweigh the flaws, greatly, or else I would not have spent so many years of my life working on him. Would you write about a person that you fundamentally disliked, or thought had done great harm? For me, the answer is no: Life is limited, and I’ve only got so many hours. I fundamentally like and admire Billy Graham and think he was a great man. It struck me, the more I worked with him, that what was most attractive for me about Graham was how people’s lives changed positively because of him. Wherever I went, I’d get the same story over and over, of ordinary folks telling me, “My life was off the rails, and then I saw Billy on TV, or I went to a crusade, and it changed my life.” What I found hard about him, first, was his evasiveness. If you like him, you can say it was “adaptability,” but if you don’t like him you see it as an inability to take a stand on important issues. He uttered so many qualifications on so many issues that it’s troubling. You want him to just drive his stake in the ground and stand by it. If you like him, you say he was irenic. If you don’t, you say he was a chameleon. The second, which is related, was his susceptibility to glamour and power. One of his associates said it very well: Billy was like a cushion who bore the imprint of the last person who sat upon him. He was susceptible to people who were famous and rich. That was the heart of his now-notorious private conversation with Richard Nixon about Jews controlling the media. There was not an anti-Semitic bone in Billy Graham’s body. He was being obsequious to Nixon. And then, closely related, would be the name-dropping. The times I was with him, it would be instant. Why would he want to do that? He’s Billy Graham! He doesn’t have to establish his credibility with us by telling us about Gorbachev, or Nikita Khrushchev or Frank Sinatra. But on the other hand, what came through was the sincerity, the integrity. People constantly press me on this question of the Graham Rule. There never was a hint, no matter how hard people pushed on it, that he ever veered away from that rule in his private life. And that takes a lot of strength. Historian and author Grant Wacker. Courtesy photo. Will there ever be another Billy Graham? Or has the culture changed too much, become too fractured, for one person to carry that whole mantle? I do not think that there will ever be a single person who will fill that role. The culture has changed; the media has changed. Graham was an artifact of the second half of the 20th century. As the century has moved away from us, I can’t see anyone else emerging. There are also the confrontations that have emerged from (his son) Franklin Graham, and that is clouding the picture. Having said all that, when he was asked this question, he said: “Yes, there will be a thousand Billy Grahams, and none of them will have heard my name. A lot of them will be pushing bicycles through jungles.” What he meant was that his message would endure. And I like to think that’s true. I mean, I’m an evangelical. The most fundamental message — that of redemption and hope — will endure and other people will carry it. President Donald Trump speaks to the Rev. Franklin Graham as they attend a ceremony to honor the late Rev. Billy Graham in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, on Feb. 28, 2018, in Washington. (Chip Somodevilla/Pool via AP) You mentioned the way Franklin Graham is “clouding the picture” of his father’s legacy. What do you mean? I fear Franklin’s politicizing of the evangelical message. I do think that Franklin himself does a lot of good with Samaritan’s Purse and humanitarian organizations, and that part of his work will help to sustain the legacy. But he has politicized the message in a way that his father, at least in his later years, would find abhorrent, and that aspect of Franklin Graham’s work will harm the legacy. How will Billy Graham be remembered? He was complicated, and he also changed over time. That’s another reason I admired him enough to give him years of my life. He changed. He was able to account for new data. The most striking change was in how he felt about communism. By the early 1980s, he had made a dramatic change to help all nations get along. And he was criticized for it. George Will said, when Billy Graham came back from Russia in 1982, that Graham was America’s most embarrassing export. But Graham thought the Soviets and the Americans were like little boys playing with matches in a tub filled with gasoline. He made major attempts to depoliticize in those later years. He fell back into political comments in later years, but at least by then he knew the danger. So I hope people recognize that he changed, and also that he kept his personal moral life straight. What will survive about Billy Graham is the deeper message about the possibility of a new life, and the importance of faith, repentance and keeping your priorities straight. I was intrigued by new research in the book that shows how Billy Graham’s sermons changed over the decades. His early preaching had a lot of Old Testament quotations, but he became far less “fire and brimstone” in his later years. That fact came from curators at the Museum of the Bible, Anthony Schmidt and Allison Brown. They crunched the numbers on the sermon texts, which we can do now that the sermons are digitized. And what we find is that Graham became remarkably more inclusive over time. Billy Graham: “The Love of God Is Absolute” Does Billy Graham have anything to say on the topic of universalism? He does as we will find out but I think before anyone judges him unfairly let me remind you of the landscape through which he has journeyed for 93 years and as the most well known evangelist of our time. We must understand that Billy Graham has been a part of the Evangelical culture which has primarily included two views of God that are so diametrically opposed that each side regularly accuses one another of “heresy” claiming the other maligns the character of God. These two camps are called Calvinism (or Reformed, Predestination) and Arminianism (or the “free-will of man”). Our objective here on ChristianUniversalism.com has been to show how the underlying Storyline emerging from both Arminian and Calvinistic camps has been pointing and supporting that of the Ultimate Restoration of all creation. For the Calvinists this has been observed through their insistence that the Scriptures declare God to be the Sovereign Lord over His creation including our salvation noting that His grace never fails to draw whom He sets His love upon. As the Arminians point out it should not be difficult for the Calvinists to make the leap to universalism since they believe that all God desires and decrees will be fulfilled and that all whom Christ died for must be saved. On the other side, the Arminians cling tightly to the belief that God “desires all to come to repentance” and has provided all that is necessary to make that happen, except to actually make it happen because He is often trumped by man’s “free-will.” The Calvinists rightly chide them for their ineffectual view of the cross since it offers only a possibility for redemption.

  • Growing Female Leaders: Best Practices in Identifying And
    GROWING FEMALE LEADERS: BEST PRACTICES IN IDENTIFYING AND MENTORING IN THE HTB NETWORK By Sarah McDonald Haden ABSTRACT Within the network of the church connected to Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB), very few female church leaders and church planters exists. The purpose of this research was to identify best practices used by HTB network ministry leaders who have successfully identified and/or trained more than one ordained female church leader. This project surveyed ministry leaders who identified and mentored female church leaders. The subjects were asked about their experiences of identifying and mentoring female church leaders. The project also interviewed women who were trained in the HTB network about their experiences of being identified and mentored. The findings showed that no standard methods of identifying and mentoring female church leaders in the HTB network existed. The findings also showed that HTB leaders considered themselves confident in mentoring women but very few female women considered themselves to have been mentored in the HTB network, particularly by senior leaders in the HTB network.

  • 1 Tempted As We Are Heb 4:15-5:8 I. Intro A. It Has Been Said That The
    Tempted As We Are Heb 4:15-5:8 I. Intro A. It has been said that the difference between a person who commits certain sins and a person who does not is not that one person is better than the other, but that they never had the opportunity presented to them like the one who sinned did. 1. Billy Graham knew the truth of that statement. He had a rule, in fact it is called the Billy Graham rule. He put it in play at the outset of his ministry. It is this – he would never allow himself to be alone with a member of the opposite sex other than his spouse. 2. More recently, Mike Pence adopted that same rule for his life and has been mocked for it. 3. The Billy Graham rule has been called sexist, unfair, discriminatory and outrageous.1 4. But Billy Graham knew a truth about human nature. As devout and committed to the Lord as he was, he knew that the opportunity to sin played a big part in his ability to resist sin. Even though he was a Christian minister that did not exempt him from temptation and sin. So he followed the biblical admonition to stay away from sin and not be led into a situation where he might fail. 5. The Billy Graham rule is a defensive rule. He played defense against sexual immorality. He did not want to give the temptation even a chance. B. Our text this morning talks about how Jesus was tempted. It says he was tempted in every way that we are tempted.

  • Billy Graham
    Billy Graham William Franklin Graham Jr. (November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018) was an American evangelist, a prominent evangelical Christian figure, and an The Reverend ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well-known internationally in the late 1940s. One of his biographers has placed him "among the most Billy Graham influential Christian leaders" of the 20th century.[2] As a preacher, he held large indoor and outdoor rallies with sermons that were broadcast on radio and television; some were still being re-broadcast into the 21st century.[3] In his six decades on television, Graham hosted annual "Crusades", evangelistic campaigns that ran from 1947 until his retirement in 2005. He also hosted the radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954. He repudiated racial segregation[4] and insisted on racial integration for his revivals and crusades, starting in 1953; he also invited Martin Luther King Jr. to preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. In addition to his religious aims, he helped shape the worldview of a huge number of people who came from different backgrounds, leading them to find a relationship between the Bible and contemporary secular viewpoints. According to his website, Graham preached to live audiences of 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including BMS World Mission and Global Mission.[5] Graham was a spiritual adviser to U.S. presidents, and he provided spiritual Graham in 1966 counsel for every president from Harry S. Truman (33rd) to Barack Obama Personal (44th).[6] He was particularly close to Dwight D.

In almost every spiritual empire, there was a “she.” She may be the one on the main stage, smiling into the spotlight, tell- ing a lightly worn anecdote as she sets her dog- eared Bible on the po- dium. She might be seated in the darkened first row, a wide- brimmed Sunday hat nodding up and down, or behind the stage in the green room clucking at her kids to mind their business. She could be the mother, silvered but stately, the matriarch of a charismatic son and the symbol of her bygone generation.
