And the blue light special of souls has become a primary means of making decisions in this election.

God have mercy on them.

"I believe we are perilously close to the moral tipping point for the survival of the United States of America," Graham wrote in Decision magazine. "I refuse to be silent and watch the future of our children and grandchildren be offered up on pagan altars of personal pleasure and immorality." The Supreme Court has already redefined marriage. The nation has become a killing field for Islamic radicals. And Christians have become targets for practicing their First Amendment rights. "There now exists deep-seated antagonism and hostility toward Christianity in every seat of power in this nation - government, media, courts and education," Graham wrote. It has become open season on Christians."

Well, isn't that what the pope and his 39,000+ encyclical keeps saying so clearly?

And the blue light special of souls has become a primary means of making decisions in this election. God have mercy on them.

I caught up with Graham just after his inaugural prayer gathering in Des Moines. More than 2,000 people turned out in frigid weather – to petition the Almighty.

“If a candidate showed up – we’re not going to recognize them,” Graham said. “We’re not going to give them a microphone.” That’s because “Decision America Tour” is not about politics. “It’s trying to lead this nation in prayer, confessing the sins of our country, asking for God’s forgiveness and encouraging Christians to get engaged in the political process,” he told me.

“The younger pastors – so many are caught up in the pop culture, and the pastor in a church is more about being cool,” he said. “We’re beginning to put theology in the back seat and I’m concerned about the church.”

Sounds like we need more of such "blue light specials of soul." That the typical superficial nature of "crusade" evangelism is due to the typical superficial nature of the people, as well as too often the lack of convicting preaching, versus the original Christian mass evangelism of Acts 2. But had that multitude been typical Westerners then they would have made the Corinthians look good.
