Billy Graham Exposed as a masonic lodge, vatican agent, a false prophet

The idolaters who walk in the flesh will be enraged at the thought that Billy Graham was a false prophet. They love and live in the flesh. They love this present world and the love of the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15; James 4:4). Instead of upholding the Bible as final divine authority, which features Jesus and the apostles and prophets, counterfeit idolaters of mere sinful men want to be like Billy Graham. Sad.

It’s past due time to get rid of the proxies and with open arms, heart, and mind to worship the one true God, Jesus Christ.

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21

With no exception, every idolater is going to hell (Exodus 20:3-5; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.).

WHO died for your sins? Did Billy Graham die on the cross for your sins or did Jesus Christ?

“One of the most troubling problems within the church today is the unwavering loyalty to a ‘christian’ personality rather than to Christ and His Word. The unwillingness to test every man’s teaching with God’s Word, coupled with a stubborn lack of discernment, produces fertile ground for deception to flourish.” Evangeline DiChristi

Billy Graham was loved by virtually everybody.

Jesus told us that “the world would love his own…”

If a man is loved by the world and every false prophet on the planet, what does that reveal about that man? Read these words of Jesus closely:

“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19

Compare what Jesus said in contrast with the celebrity preachers of our day….. hmmmmmm Jesus said:

“I receive not honour from men. … How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” John 5:41, 44

The disciples at the town of Berea weren’t impressed with the LORD Jesus’ apostle Paul, the most profound disciple in New Testament history, who was given his revelation straight from Jesus and penned half of the books in the New Testament canon of the Holy Bible. In light of this, why O why would any true disciple of Jesus be impressed with Billy Graham or any other modern “celebrity” minister?

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11

The Berean’s tested what Paul taught with the written Word. Why would a genuine Christian balk at the teachings of Billy Graham being tested against the Word of God?

The man of God, the man who truly fears the LORD will determine to know nothing but Christ, and Christ crucified.

“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2 

If you wish to start a firestorm, dare to put to the test the pet heretical doctrines and “idol shepherds” of those not grounded in Christ, in His Word, as they should be (Zechariah 11:17). May God use this to shake to the core all who name Jesus as their LORD.

“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19

Yet today we have multitudes of people who insist upon propping up the image of a false prophet who was and is presently heralded as “the greatest evangelist.” Let’s put that claim to the test, weighing it against Holy Scripture (Acts 17:10-11).

“People don’t like their idols messed with. I shared this on my social page and am getting persecuted for it. Many aspire to be like him, Billy Graham, instead of being like Jesus! One lady told me the video was fake.” Karen Cochran

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?  Isaiah 2:22

Saints, mere men will change but God and His Word are immutably divinly perfect and unchanging.

This is why Jesus instructs us to uphold Him and His Word as final divine authority – because men can and will change and apostatize, they will “depart from the faith” (1 Timothy 4:1-2). It didn’t say they’d depart from spreading their lies from the pulpit or internet or books. Selah. Beware.

“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31

To those who bid “God speed” to false teachers, wolves, running like a gullible dupe to the defense of that which is indefensible, I want to level a severe warning at you: The Word of God is clear – If you dare attempt to “conceal,” if you cover for and/or support a false prophet, you will go to Hell with that fraud because you are standing against the Almighty as you side with evil and evil doers (Deuteronomy 13:1-10; 2 Peter 2:1-3). Repent now.

“Neither shalt thou conceal (cover for) him (false leaders).” Deuteronomy 13:8

Read Deuteronomy 13:1-10 closely.

Do you realize that Deuteronomy  13:1-10 is a severe warning to God’s people about prophets, ministers who give a prophecy and that prophecy actually comes to pass, is accurate? YET then ….. that same minister who ministered correctly (principally) teaches falsehood, teaches falsely concerning the LORD and His kingdom. The divine warning is that you are strictly never to side with him, to pity him, or to seek to preserve his reputation. He is but a mere man and God’s people must never dare “conceal” the fact that he has chosen to turn into a wolf and spread lies that bear false witness against the LORD, that violate, contradict His Word.

“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal (cover for) him:” Deuteronomy 13:8 

Okay another example to help us understand the simple logic in this divine command and warning, would be that there are crimes on the books in every state which forbid us to give refuge to a criminal, a person who has committed a crime, has a warrant out for their arrest and is now a fugitive. Here is one such law:

“Section 1071 makes it an offense to harbor or conceal any person for whose arrest a warrant or process has been issued, so as to prevent the fugitive’s discovery and arrest, after having notice or knowledge that a warrant or process has been issued for the fugitive’s apprehension.”

Okay, let’s drill down a bit in order to make sure we are beginning to understand the LORD: So think about this: Let’s say you have a friend who for years shows great love to your friends and family. Then that same friend begins to slander and do wrong to your friends and family. What do you do? You sever yourself from that “friend” who has now made himself an enemy. Why? -Because your allegiance is to your family and friends, right? Right. With this in mind, can we not see that we must cling to the LORD first and foremost and give no one else that “first love” position but the LORD Himself (Revelation 2:4-5)?

“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11

Wolf defenders beware: Your problem is that you care more for the image, the reputation of a false prophet, a vile enemy of Christ, than you do for the millions he has deceived. Repent and change your perspective to the Word of God. God’s glory is what matters not sinful man’s reputation (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.).

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

The following response was given to a woman who leveled to several believers the accusation that we were “heresy hunters.”

YOU are actually the one destroying the body of Christ by aiding and abetting wolves. Repent now. This is a ridiculous response. It’s sounds like you are all about YOU and not the LORD, the Word. Just because YOU don’t know the WORD and supposedly don’t have the evidence doesn’t speak for anyone else.

You used the lame debunked “heresy hunter” cop-out and cover up of which you are apparently guilty. That’s a phrase spawned by frauds like Benny Hinn, and Paul the homo TBN. It was an attempted cover up of their crimes and greed-driven heresies.

It is the spirit of antichrist in you who is driving you to defend these antichrists (1 John 4:1-4).

You said that you “learned that long ago” and yes you learned and heard this from the greed-driven Word of faith TBN wolves. You heard and learned that but you didn’t learn the Word of God – because the LORD is not important enough to you to get into His Word for yourself as Scripture mandates (2 Tim 2:15). And God is going to judge you for covering for His enemies, sinner. Watch out saints for those who “conceal” the wolves who are devouring Christ’s sheep for whom He died. According to Scripture, you are the enemy of the LORD as you have sided with those who are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Phil 3:18-19). Repent now – before it’s too late. You are marked – Rom 16:17-18

MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“I was absolutely heart broken to learn of this years ago (about Billy Graham). I could not believe it. So heart breaking to learn of his free Mason status too. Tracy

REPLY:

Yes dear sister….AND you were teachable, and you put JESUS first above all…. and He brought you through it as He is slaying the idols of the hearts of His true people. Ezekiel 14:1-3

SAINTS, COULD THIS BE ANY CLEARER?

1 Corinthians 1:29
That NO FLESH should glory in his presence.

1 Corinthians 1:31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in THE LORD.

1 Corinthians 3:21
Therefore LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. For all things are yours;

Yet as has been pointed out by a sister in Christ, the modern church has sold its prey on this idea of …. “I want to be like Billy Graham.” Disgusting. Repentance needed. Billy Graham was a mere man, a sinner, as masonic lodge Luciferian, and after preaching a half-truth false gospel apostatized/departed to collude in an unholy alliance with the idols of the pagan Roman cult, mystery Babylon religion, which God will destroy in just “one hour” (Revelation 17-18).

Some are saying “How dare you say Billy Graham misrepresented God!” Could it be that they say this because they aren’t in the Word of God and sincerely seeking the LORD for themselves and that’s why they wanted to just get their image of “God” from a mere man – instead of straight from the LORD Himself? The LORD commands:

“Look unto ME, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22

Question: WHO died and rose again from the dead to save you to Himself and His Father in Heaven? Jesus. So, WHO deserves your pure, whole worship? Jesus. Is today your day to get before God in sincere repentance for considering mere men to be above that which is written of them – that they have “ALLLLL sinned” and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10, 23, etc.)?

“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.” 1 Corinthians 4:6

AND what is it that “is written” about mere men?

“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9

“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” Romans 3:10

The Bible evokes in God’s true remnant the desire …. the cry, “I want to follow and be like Jesus – conformed to His holy image! He must increase but I must decrease” (John 3:30; Romans 8:29)

In case the point has not been made clear enough, notice how some of the modern wolves in sheep’s clothing have changed things as shown below….

1 Corinthians 1:31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in BILLY GRAHAM.

“They don’t want their idols exposed. They defend BG but won’t stand when the name of Jesus is mocked or blasphemed. That’s why the Bereans were more noble because they didn’t even believe Paul. They checked the word for themselves. BG was a mere man! Just like any of us! Romans 3:4” Karen Cochran

Just “one mediator”

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.”  1 Timothy 2:5-6

There’s more than “a little” false doctrine Graham spewed out and the Bible says “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9).

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14

As you will see on the videos below, Billy Graham, out of his own mouth, openly denied that Jesus is the only way to God.

“The Billy Graham Association (Whatever they are called) said this was not a slip up because Billy Graham wrote the same thing in his ‘Decision’ magazine in the 1960’s. I would hope that ALL of this is a mistake and that he actually believes Jesus is the ONLY way, but he said something similar on Larry King.” Odom

Witness for yourself how the message Billy Graham preached in the beginning is different from the one he died preaching. Billy Graham was clearly an apostate who ended his life as a pawn of the Vatican and teaching blasphemous doctrine that denied that Jesus is the only way to God and to Heaven.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? … 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-16, 20

There are NO heroes in the kingdom of Christ except Jesus Himself. Many among us are “not holding the Head,” Jesus Christ – which means they have idols.

“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And NOT HOLDING THE HEAD, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19

Scripture cites Israel for making idols out of their own shepherds:

“Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.” Zechariah 11:17

Of this passage, Adam Clarke notes:

“Woe to the idol shepherd – רעי האליל roi haelil, ‘the foolish,’ or ‘good for nothing shepherd.’ The shepherd in name and office, but not performing the work of one. See Joh_10:11.”

Anyone who yokes with, meets with, and agrees with an antichrist, proves himself to be one of the “many antichrists” (1 John 2:18).

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.  9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.”  Galatians 1:6-9

Jesus made it clear that He is not “a way” but rather “the way.”

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”  John 14:6

“Billy Graham was the biggest heretic of our time who many idolize and say ‘if only I could be like him.’ Aren’t we supposed to be like Jesus?” Karen Cochran

Billy Graham says out of his own mouth, in the videos below, that basically everyone is going to Heaven. Every pagan Catholic, Mormon, etc., who is not born again, is a member of Christ’s body, according to Billy Graham. Who is lying? – Jesus or Billy Graham? False teacher. Matthew 7:13-14; 1 Timothy 2:5

SOMEONE IS LYING – EITHER JESUS CHRIST OR BILLY GRAHAM

Compare what abortion approving, Catholic colluder, popish pawn Billy Graham says about Hell (see his heresy on Hell below). Now let’s see what Jesus says about Hell below. Someone is lying – is it Jesus or 33rd degree mason Billy Graham?

“…I think people have a hard time believing God is going to allow people to burn in literal fire forever. I think the fire that is mentioned in the Bible is a burning thirst for God that can never be quenched.” Billy Graham

“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not (denotes complete consciousness), and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:42-50

Graham Guardian Rebuked

To a man who was highly upset that I dared share this information about Billy Graham on social media, the response he was given is as follows:

“First off, are you truly born again and presently walking in the truth, in God’s Word? The deception you are walking in is concerning.

You speak so very extensively and glowingly about Billy Graham, a mere man. When’s the last time you spent that kind of time and energy exclaiming the one LORD Jesus Christ, the nail scarred risen Savior? When’s the last time you personally led someone to Jesus?

It saddens me for you that you defend, you bid Godspeed to a man who denied Christ was the only way to God, to Heaven and who colluded with the Roman pope and cult to deceive believers to enter into the one world antichrist church/religion – Revelation 17-18.

I made those statements standing on both feet, with every ounce of my weight…. after studying this topic closely for decades. I warn you not to operate in foolishness/folly by speaking on a matter you have not thoroughly investigated – per Proverbs 18:13. There is not ample evidence posted in this thread for you to review.”

So many idolaters arguing to keep this mere man, sinner, as their idol when they’ve never looked into the facts and compared what Graham stated next to the Word of God (Proverbs 18:13).

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  Acts 4:12

Graham was clearly a false prophet – perhaps the most prolific in NT history. Repent of the idolatry of making this mere sinful man your protestant pope. Read Isaiah 2:22; Jer. 17:5. On Larry King live Graham said all religions are part of the body of Christ. He also said that the pope is the best Christian on earth. He said on record publicly that the way to God is broad/wide. Jesus says otherwise.

“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

Jesus Calling Devotional Exposed: 10 Things You Might Not Know

“I know so many who are so deceived by this book!! The author is a woman and she makes Jesus sound like your boyfriend who is so in love with you he can’t bare a minute without you! It is sickening! Plus she says the Bible was not enough for her. She needed more. This author died and if she did repent of her blasphemy against a holy God she is burning in hell as we speak. There are not two Jesus’s! This book presents a weak, tolerant of all your sin, pathetic, spineless ‘Jesus.’ This false ‘Jesus’ just sits in heaven google-eyed over you and how much He can’t live one minute without you in His presence! This is opposite of the fierce Christ who calls out sin and hypocrisy, who took a whip to the money changers and flipped over tables in righteous anger! Mathew 23 shows us some of the most severe rebukes in all the New Testament. This is the Jesus true disciples chose to follow! May this new documentary open the eyes of many so-called Christians to how demonic and evil this book is.” Karen Cochran

 

BEWARE of the Jesus Calling devotional book which is written by a full blown heretic, Sarah Young. This book continually assures things to lost souls (catholics, etc.) reserved only for the true Christian. It promises salvation, assurance, grace, mercy, the glory of God, etc to lost hell bound idolatrous sinners. Like antichrist Rick Warren’s Purpose Driven Life book, Jesus Calling never calls sinners to repent which is a Gospel essential and without which God will never save any soul from sin and hell (Luke 13:3, 5). You will never hear Jesus’ born again commanded or command to repent in this heretical devotional book title Jesus Calling. This monstrosity simply confirms sinners in their sin, sealing their doom in the lake of fire (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14, etc.).

Sarah Young is just another self-willed false prophet who does “ministry” her way, not God’s, in order to sell books and to mislead eternal souls into eternal damnation.

The blessings of God in Christ’s salvation are reserved only for those born again “in Christ,” and never for hell bound religious idolaters (John 15:7; 2 Corinthians 1:20; 2 Peter 1:1-4, etc.). 


Stacy Strother writes:

Her subtly, deceptive, doctrinally corrupt fairy tale version of what she calls bible studies for all the different ages of people, including children’s bible studies, teen and other, are found in the book stores—shelves filled full.

She is deceived, a false witness, False bible teacher, and has not heard from our Jesus—the Christ, Son of the living God, of which, is the very Word of God.

She hears from demons. Period! She needs to REPENT, and be born again! Please Lord Jesus, help her see her own demise!”

“Solid Biblical refutation of the “New Age ” nonsense passing itself off as the latest thing God is doing.

Billy Graham Promoted and Sent People to Go Join the Catholic Church

“One of the most troubling problems within the church today is the unwavering loyalty to a ‘christian’ personality rather than to Christ and His Word. The unwillingness to test every man’s teaching with God’s Word, coupled with a stubborn lack of discernment, produces fertile ground for deception to flourish.” Evangeline DiChristi

from Chick Publications

Billy Graham Still Sending Converts Back to the Pope

Billy Graham. We know that his messages are solid gospel. Few in or out of the Christian World have not heard of him. Since 1949 he has held the spotlight as the most prominent evangelist in Christendom. He has just finished his 416th crusade in Pasadena, California that drew over 300,000 people in four days. 13,000+ responded to his altar calls. Graham is now 86 years old and has one more crusade scheduled in New York City next year, health permitting.

 

The Pasadena crusade was on the anniversary of his first Los Angeles revival 55 years ago. It was after that meeting that Graham was “kissed by William Randolph Hearst” according to Dr Cathy Burns in her book, Billy Graham and His Friends. This meant that Hearst had decided to promote Graham’s ministry in his nationwide chain of newspapers.

Immediately, reporters and photographers were crawling all over the Graham meetings. Front page articles began to appear in the leading local papers wherever Graham held meetings. One reporter was assigned full time to travel with Graham’s team.

In 1991, Graham claimed that this sudden attention remained a mystery. Burns describes a more complex scenario. Regardless, the publicity propelled Graham into the national, if not international, limelight.

Jesus warned, “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you.” Over the years, Graham became the friend of presidents and kings, a beloved “America’s Pastor.”

But the fame came with a price. In his book, Smokescreens, written in 1983, Jack Chick describes how Roman Catholic leaders viewed and used Graham as a key player in their ecumenical plans. As early as 1965, he was a guest speaker at Catholic Belmont Abbey College in North Carolina where he received an honorary doctor’s degree. A college official’s letter describes Graham’s address as “theologically sound” as may have been given by “any other Catholic preacher.” The letter further states, “I would state that he could bring Catholics and Protestants together in a healthy ecumenic spirit.” Graham was also speaking at several other Catholic colleges at that time.

This prediction was fully realized. In Smokescreens, Chick shows various illustrations. In 1971 Graham is shown meeting with Oakland, California, Catholic Bishop Floyd Begin who lauded Graham’s ministry. In 1972 he received a Franciscan Friars’ award for true ecumenism. In 1979 Graham praised the pope as a “moral and spiritual leader that believes in something.”

In 1981 he was closeted for almost two hours with Pope John Paul II. After the 1982 New England crusade, thousands of those who went forward for salvation were turned over to Catholic clergy for follow-up.

And this hasn’t changed. Before the Pasadena crusade this year, The Tidings, official newspaper for the Los Angeles diocese, reported that Cardinal Mahony had written to parish priests to encourage their members to attend the crusade.

Crusade officials bragged that they had “a marvelous agreement” with Graham to give all registration cards to the diocese, of the inquirers who identified themselves as Catholic. The object was to “reincorporate Catholic Crusade participants back into full sacramental life in the Catholic Church.” “This is ecumenicity at it finest,” said Alexei Smith, Ecumenical and Interreligious Officer for the archdiocese.

There is no doubt that hundreds of thousands have been swept into the kingdom during the Graham crusades. But how tragic that so many who responded to Graham’s call to salvation were then sent back to the spiritual bondage and pagan rituals of the pope’s prostitute church?

Jack Chick concludes the Smokescreens chapter: “Yes, beloved. Billy Graham, as much as I love him and hate to say it, I believe was cleverly used as a smokescreen and as a pied piper for the whore of Revelation.”

In Graham’s 1952 Pittsburgh crusade, the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph reported that Graham said:

Many of the people who reach a decision for Christ at our meetings have joined the Catholic Church and we have received commendations from Catholic publications for the revived interest in their Church following our campaigns. This happened both in Boston and Washington. After all, one of our prime purposes is to help the churches in a community. If after we move on, the local (sic) churches do not feel the efforts of these meetings in increased membership and attendance, then our crusade would have to be considered a failure.” [Emphasis in the original.]

Did you notice that Graham was only interested in a church’s increased membership-but nothing was said about a person receiving Christ as his or her personal Lord and Savior. This is what is important-not church membership! Church membership could increase a 1000-fold but if people are not being saved, then all is in vain.

Graham also gave a boost to the Catholic Church (in 1952) when he added that he “hoped to hear Bishop Fulton J. Sheen at one of the masses at St. Paul’s Cathedral tomorrow. ” [Emphasis in the original.]

“In 1968, Graham was in a meeting in San Antonio, Texas. He said that the Roman Church had given ‘tremendous cooperation’ in areas where he had held crusades. He added, ‘A great part of our support today comes from Catholics. We never hold a crusade without priests and nuns being much in evidence in the audience.”

By 1973 nuns were singing in the choir at Graham’s crusades.

Continuing on with Graham’s ecumenical outlook, the June 10, 1966 issue of Time said that volunteers “will tactfully receive those stepping forward to make a decision for Christ, [and] steer them to the nearest church of their chosen denomination….”

In Poland in 1978, “Graham taught nuns and priests how to evangelize. A picture taken at the famous Polish Shrine of the Black Madonna shows Graham welcoming pilgrims to the worship of their Virgin.”

10 Clues Your Love for God has Waxed Cold [podcast]


The wise virgin saints are keeping their lamps full of divine oil, they are taking personal responsibility for their own spiritual state with Christ the great and soon coming Bridegroom. Read Matthew 25:1-13.

“The Love of Many Shall Wax Cold”

“And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:10-14

Did you notice in verse 14 that those who hot for Jesus are participating in the preaching of His Word to the end of the earth (Mark 16:15).

Anyone not devouring God’s Word daily is falling away, is not enduring to the end, is choosing the let their love for Jesus wax cold, and on the wrong, the losing end of this prophecy Jesus gave here on record in Matthew 24:10-14.

“I will spue (vomit, reject) thee out of my mouth”

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:16-17

Praying God will help you love Him more (Matthew 22:37-40). It really all boils down to WHO we love most. THAT is exactly who we are serving (Romans 6:16).

Loving God is everything as far as what’s in our control – because it’s a choice, daily, and will determine if one remains in Christ to the end.

“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:37-40 

“Thou hast left thy first love”

“Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Revelation 2:4-5

1. When you are choosing not to spend quality time with God in prayer each and every morning… When you are choosing not to spend quality time with God in His Word each and every morning (Luke 9:23-24; 1 Chronicles 16:11).

2. When your love for God’s people is being reduced instead of increased (Philippians 2:12-13; 1 John 5:1) Marks of the True Christian …. “Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;” (Romans 12:9-11) See John 13:35.

“And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. 21 And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.” Luke 8:20-21 

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.” 1 John 3:14 

“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.” 1 John 5:1

Reading 1 Corinthians 13 today will refresh your heart and mind on the divine importance placed upon LOVE.

3. You are not denying self and not taking up the cross daily (Luke 9:23-24; 19:27; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3, etc.).

4. You aren’t communicating the light of truth to others because you no longer seek or fear the LORD and so His divine virtue isn’t teeming in and flowing out of you. Your cup no longer runs over but instead is running empty (Psalms 23). You have a lampshade over the light and are not letting His light shine in and through your life and words… “Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” (Isaiah 58:1)

5. You live in fear instead of faith and the joy of being with Jesus (Luke 21:28; 1 John 4:16-18; Proverbs 28:1; Psalms 2:11).

6. You preach promises and not conditions…following the apostate modern church and you don’t preach the cardinal doctrines of the original Gospel which we are commanded to “earnest contend for.” (Jude 3) You begin meditating on and living by trends instead of truth (Jeremiah 9:3; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; Philippians 4:8; Romans 12:1-2).

7. You have little or no true fellowship with other born- again Bible believing disciples of Jesus as is defined in God’s Word and not by the modern church world (Acts 2:42).


The Word of God is to run rich, to be abundant among God’s people … “In all wisdom” and “all in the name of the Lord Jesus”“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” (Colossians 3:16-17)

8. You know you are backsliding when your main thrust and identity become politics, not the work of the Gospel. YOU are a blood bought disciple of Jesus, not a conservative. You are a Bible believing follower of Christ (Luke 9:62; Galatians 6:14).

9. When you love this world…..When you spend more time and money on hobbies and the things of this fleeting world than you do on attending to knowing, walking with the LORD and preparing to be used of Him (Mark 4:17-19; 1 John 2:15; James 4:4).

10. When you spend more money on trash and trinkets then helping the work of the One you claim to love and the poor. You know you are backslidden when you are not obeying God with what He’s placing in your temporal possession. He shall bring you into full account for this.

Regrettably, people will give their money to any and every pleasure under the sun but make excuses when the opportunity to support the work of the One they claim to love and serve. The Holy Spirit foretold that in the final days before the return of Jesus, there would be those with a mere “form of godliness”, “men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous,” and “lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God.” (2 Timothy 3:1-7) According to the LORD, one of the main ways to measure our true love for Him or lack thereof, is by peering into our personal stewardship of the resources He’s placed into our temporary possession. Luke 12 and 16 offer a plethora of divine wisdom and warning concerning the judgment to come, the judgment we shall endure in giving account for our stewardship in this life.

The clear proof that God is working in our lives, that we are truly following Jesus, is that we are becoming less and less vested in this fleeting, fallen world (James 4:4; 1 John 2:15-17). And that we, our good works, our giving are more and more invested in eternity – in the eternal kingdom of Christ, laying up treasures in Heaven, sending them before us, relinquishing the things of this world for the glory of God – putting them to work for the eternal Gospel of Christ – for saints to be fed and equipped and the lost to hear the Word of God (Matt. 6:19-21).

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:19-24

To underscore the importance of stewardship, we should realize that 16 of our LORD’s 38 parables involved stewardship. Those who now do not wish to face and confront this truth, are apparently those who are in the most need of hearing it.

PRAYER: Father I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. Please cause my conscience to be super sensitive to Your conviction, Your leading, and to evade all that defiles me in Your holy eyes, sin. Here and now I submit my life afresh to You dear LORD. You must increase but I must decrease. I am crucified with Christ and thank You for conforming me to His holy image. I am all Yours LORD and thank You that You are all mine. I love You Jesus. Please make me one with You and the Father and with Your beloved body. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
