About this Graham guy; Why does the media give him so much coverage? Surely, there are others who are qualified, and doctrinally sound in Biblical theology who can tell us what God thinks on current issues. So why do the Grahams get so much front page coverage? Is he supposed to be the head of non Catholics? I mean, like the pope is head of non-thinking zombies?
Of course this is rhetorical? We already know that world loves its own. So, then, this marriage between the media and Graham … ?

You should be asking this about Obama and the mainstream media.

I honestly feel Christians need to stop bashing F. G. ------- if he's not right with God --- PRAY for him --- and if he's right with God ---PRAY for him...

James 3:
6 And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man’s nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna).

Good grief --- do y'all feel better now

I will not apologize for LOVING GOD and Country

1 Peter 1:
1 Peter, an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ, [writing] to the elect exiles of the dispersion scattered (sowed) abroad in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

2 Who were chosen and foreknown by God the Father and consecrated (sanctified, made holy) by the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and to be sprinkled with [His] blood: May grace (spiritual blessing) and peace be given you in increasing abundance [that spiritual peace to be realized in and through Christ, freedom from fears, agitating passions, and moral conflicts].

3 Praised (honored, blessed) be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)! By His boundless mercy we have been born again to an ever-living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 [Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are being guarded (garrisoned) by God’s power through [your] faith [till you fully inherit that final] salvation that is ready to be revealed [for you] in the last time.

"Senior Sarah Zachary says many of her classmates are jokesters and they wanted the prom to be funny. But she says lots of students also are intense about politics."

Many of her classmates are jokesters??? --- Lots of students also are intense about politics??? --- CHILDREN WITHOUT A CLUE.

If only public schools weren't houses of hellish indoctrination and twisted historical revisionism. --- America's true history should be taught so that children will learn to be Proud of being Americans!!!

America has always been a God Fearing Nation and youngsters need to learn and know all about it

"We the People" need to stand up and get America back on track --- I don't have to tell any of you this nation is going to hell in a hand basket...

The common thread that all the fringe groups and the socialist minded radicals here in America share is that they all are seeking to tear down THE • GREATEST • COUNTRY • IN • THE • WORLD...

Nor the fantasy those who do nothing will ever be saved _ you don't want to false accuse the Holy Ghost of being a liar who moved Paul to write:

Romans 10:13
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

See Romans 10, especially verses 9,10 and 11-15
Of course it is a frightful tragedy that zealous unregenerate blindmen refuse to see how spiritually blind they truly are claiming how much they see

I want to thank Brother Michael Hranek for a clear and concise statement

God saves HIS Elect.
Eph 1:4 ...
Thus;
The ordo salutis is 1) election/predestination (in Christ), 2) Atonement 3) gospel call 4) inward call 5) regeneration, 6) conversion (faith & repentance), 7) justification, 8) sanctification, and 9) glorification. (Rom 8:29-30)
So to 'accept' 'receive' and 'welcome' the Kingdom of God - you must be the Elect of God. God Bless.

Philippians 2:
12 Therefore, my dear ones, as you have always obeyed [my suggestions], so now, not only [with the enthusiasm you would show] in my presence but much more because I am absent, work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ).

And they're practicing a religion of peace

James 4:4 You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world’s friend is being God’s enemy? So WHOEVER CHOOSES to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God. 8 COME CLOSE to God and He will come close to you. [RECOGNIZE that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [REALIZE that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery].

Luke 18: 17 Truly I say to you, whoever does not ACCEPT and RECEIVE and WELCOME the Kingdom of God like a little child [does] shall not in any way enter it [at all].

James 3: 1 Not many [of you] should become teachers (self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation]. 2 For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature.

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God. 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17

• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6

• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15

• We believe that all men everywhere are lost and face the judgment of God, that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation, and that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

The recent scandal over Hillary Clinton's email accounts is of such great concern and danger to the American people that I feel she should be barred from any office and especially from running for the office of the president of the United States Far too many of these individuals in Washington think they're above the law...

12 Those along the traveled road are the people who have heard; then the devil comes and carries away the message out of their hearts, that they may not believe (acknowledge Me as their Savior and devote themselves to Me) and be saved [here and hereafter].

13 And those upon the rock [are the people] who, when they hear [the Word], receive and welcome it with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation fall away (withdraw and stand aloof).

14 And as for what fell among the thorns, these are [the people] who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not ripen (come to maturity and perfection).

15 But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.

16 No one after he has lighted a lamp covers it with a vessel or puts it under a [dining table] couch; but he puts it on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light.

From the Amplified Bible
Romans 10:
9 Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation.
11 The Scripture says, No man who believes in Him [who adheres to, relies on, and trusts in Him] will [ever] be put to shame or be disappointed.
12 [No one] for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord over all [of us] and He generously bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him [in faith].
13 For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord [invoking Him as Lord] will be saved.
14 But how are people to call upon Him Whom they have not believed [in Whom they have no faith, on Whom they have no reliance]? And how are they to believe in Him [adhere to, trust in, and rely upon Him] of Whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without a preacher?

From the Amplified Bible
Galatians 3:
7 Know and understand that it is [really] the people [who live] by faith who are [the true] sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify (declare righteous, put in right standing with Himself) the Gentiles in consequence of faith, proclaimed the Gospel [foretelling the glad tidings of a Savior long beforehand] to Abraham in the promise, saying, In you shall all the nations [of the earth] be blessed.
9 So then, those who are people of faith are blessed and made happy and favored by God [as partners in fellowship] with the believing and trusting Abraham.

22 But the Scriptures [picture all mankind as sinners] shut up and imprisoned by sin, so that [the inheritance, blessing] which was promised through faith in Jesus Christ (the Messiah) might be given (released, delivered, and committed) to [all] those who believe [who adhere to and trust in and rely on Him].

From the King James Bible
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
