"Frank M re Marrs and Graham"
Frank M re Marrs and Graham
Here is what I think I know. I have participated in preparation
meetings for one of Billy Graham’s Stadium meetings and have supported
and watched his ministry. I have pondered the accusations of his
association with the lodge for a while. Everything I have seen
from him supports nothing other than the public proclamation of the
simple gospel of Jesus Christ. “Repent and ask Jesus into your
heart and life.” This seems like God’s work to me. If Mr.
Graham has these other affiliations it does not appear to have
compromised the proclamation of truth.
Notice that the attacks on BG are primarily about his
associations. Does this bring someone else to mind? “Why
does he associate with sinners?” Fear of associations is not a
biblical calling.
Here is something I have seen evidence of. The Masonic system
recruits those who are not theirs into their group after they have
reached prominence to magnify the appearance of their influence.
This parallels the entry level of the lodge, which accepts Christians
and distributes their own printing of the bible.
In any case, I believe we should draw our understanding from fruit
rather than associations. The proclamation of Faith in Jesus over
works is what separates biblical Christianity from other religion.
In Christ,
GM
