Here is a message from Franklin Graham's Facebook page... "Listen up young men. I’m a father and a grandfather, and I want to give you some advice. Former NBA star Lamar Odom was looking for something at a brothel in Nevada, something to ease the pain and void deep inside his heart. Instead it has devastated his life. The truth is—the only One that can heal the pain in a human heart is Jesus Christ. Drugs can’t do it, sex can’t do it, money can’t do it, nothing or no one else can do it. I want you to know that God made you and He loves you. He wants to give you life, peace, and hope—and the only way is through trusting in His Son, Jesus Christ. God’s Word warns, “Now then, my sons, listen to me; pay attention to what I say. Do not let your heart turn to her (a prostitute’s) ways or stray into her paths. Many are the victims she has brought down; her slain are a mighty throng” (Proverbs 7:24-26). I am praying for ‪#‎LamarOdom‬ and his family."

Fantastic post by Franklin Graham! I’ll bet his heart truly is broken for Odom.

yes, I saw that. Franklin put me to shame in that post. I was very judgmental and condemning after reading about the incident....Graham showed compassion while not excusing the sin.

He reminded me and showed me that we can hate the sin and yet still love the sinner. I felt like a class 1 a-hole.
