We can only imagine how desperate the Dark Side was to discredit the Graham family.
The Grahams must have withstood every imaginable temptation.
How lucky the world is to have had Billy.
The Amish have a tradition called Rumspringa. It means "running around". When Amish kids are 15 or so they are encouraged to leave the Amish lifestyle and go out into the world. The idea is that before they commit to baptism and formally becoming full Amish, that they must see what it is that they are giving up.
So they go out. And do pretty much indulge in almost every vice there is. They drink. They smoke. They have sex. They even *gasp* watch television and play video games and buy cars!
Yet the vast majority of Amish kids, after witnessing the outside world, chooose to return and be baptized into the Amish church. In recent decades the percentage of Amish youth who fully commit to the Church has increased, not gone down.
Often you cannot appreciate and be thankful for the light without first seeing the darkness.
There are none more under spiritual assault than men of God and their families. I see it with our own pastor. Both of his kids have been divorced, and assaulted with numerous tragedies.
