How To Be Born Again Billy Graham Pdf __LINK_

Have you been born again? Call it conversion, call it commitment, call it repentance, call it being saved, but has it happened to you? Does Christ live in your heart? Do you know it? Many people have thought a long time about religion and Christianity and yet have never made a commitment. Are you committed to Jesus Christ?

Carter's presidency gave Graham the opportunity to support a Democrat and a fellow "born again" Baptist in the White House. But Graham was at least as comfortable with the man who beat Carter in 1980, Ronald Reagan, who shared much of Nixon's political background in anti-communism and Southern California conservatism.

That is why many evangelists feel a need to be in Iraq-and why they will ignore the danger they represent to the American social-reconstruction efforts, just to be seen in action there. One hopes that Bush, a born-again Christian himself, will recognize the arrogance and the futility of allowing evangelists to do their thing. Surely he does not think that Muslims, Sunni or Shiite, possessed as they are of a faith and civilization that is much older and more sophisticated than evangelist-style American Christianity, will jettison all that for a blanket, a Bible, and a video on Jesus. Let Graham and his fellow evangelizers, if they wish to help, come to the aid of the tiny and threatened Abyssinian and Syrian Orthodox churches of Iraq, which were in existence centuries before the Protestant Reformation. The souls they save may turn out to be their own. end

Its otherworldliness also made Southern evangelical Protestantism attractive in the face of social problems. During the late 19th century, when Northern Protestants were beginning to preach the reform-minded Social Gospel, Southern Christians tended to believe that the world's social evils were insurmountable. Religion Scholar Samuel S. Hill Jr. of the University of North Carolina suggests that the churches' heavy emphasis on human guilt may have helped assuage the consciences of white Southern Christians about racial discrimination: those who were born again were forgiven their personal sins, even though other sins might persist unchecked in their society.

Before John Kennedy calmed their fears in 1960, some evangelicals questioned whether a Catholic President would let his religion interfere in his duties. Yet evangelicals themselves can energetically wield power to influence politics. Many Southern ministers, believing that parts of the Equal Rights Amendment undercut the scriptural order of family relationships, have opposed it. More parochially, a Presbyterian minister in Charlotte, N.C., sent out a questionnaire last month to nine school-board candidates asking them if they were born-again Christians.

America's best known evangelist, Billy Graham, 86, led the service and delivered one prayer in which suggested the Almighty had played a part in Mr Bush's re-election. Mr Bush credits Mr Graham with inspiring him to give up drinking at the age of 40 and to become a born-again Christian. "Their next four years are hidden from us, but they are not hidden from you," said Mr Graham. "You know the challenges and opportunities they will face. Give them a clear mind, a warm heart, calmness in the midst of turmoil, reassurance in times of discouragement and your presence always."
