A decade and a half before Memorial Day became a federal holiday in 1971, Billy Graham was in Boston to deliver a memorial address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The year was 1955, and he had just finished visiting many U.S. military installations in Europe. Below is an excerpt from our archives of his timeless message, which still rings true this Memorial Day as we remember with gratitude the sacrifices of so many for our nation.

I legitimately don't understand. Christianity Today, the flagship evangelical publication founded by the late Billy Graham, declares its method is: "To deliver biblical wisdom and beautiful storytelling from the whole world to the whole world across all media." That publication published THIS on Eater weekend: ******************************************************** Christianity Today @CTmagazine The Bible doesn’t say Jesus was nailed to a cross. One evangelical Bible scholar thinks the crucifixion may have been done with ropes. ********************************************************* Christianity Today had to be community-noted by Christians to correct a grievous biblical error. Maybe it slipped past the editors. But how? How could a theory, so...

The granddaughter of the late Rev. Billy Graham recently penned an op-ed in Newsweek endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris and accusing former President Donald Trump of being "a megalomaniac.""As someone who enjoyed the privilege of growing up around the revered minister Dr. Billy Graham — or as we grandchildren knew him, 'Daddy Bill' — I recognize very little in former President Donald Trump of the Christian faith that has inspired my life," wrote Jerushah Duford, whose mother, Virginia "Gigi" Graham Tchividjian, is Graham's eldest daughter.Duford's op-ed drew kudos on X from figures such as Kellyanne Conway's husband, George Conway, who...

The political action committee Evangelicals for Harris rolled out an over $1 million ad campaign Thursday that features footage of the late evangelist Billy Graham and suggests former President Donald Trump exhibits the character of evil men in the last days. The ad, which will play out over the next three weeks in battleground states, features a sermon Graham preached from 2 Timothy 3:1-5 , in which Paul describes the terrible nature of the last days and warns "men will become utterly self-centered and greedy for money, full of big words."The ad interspersed brief clips of Trump making comments that...

Billy Graham endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris during an "Evangelicals for Harris" Zoom call Wednesday and suggested that Christians who support former President Donald Trump are causing people to turn away from Christianity.Here's the full video of Jerusha Duford (Billy Graham's granddaughter) from the "Evangelicals For Harris" Zoom call.@JonBrownDC covered the message well (link in replies) but I figure many of you want to watch it for yourselves too pic.twitter.com/kPMX3qvjCE— Woke Preacher Clips (@WokePreacherTV) August 16, 2024Jerushah Duford, whose mother Virginia "Gigi" Graham Tchividjian is Graham's oldest daughter, spoke in a recorded video because...

There are many followers of Jesus in America today who do not describe themselves as “Christians.” It is not because they are ashamed of their faith. Instead, it is because the word “Christian” has become so diluted that almost anyone can call themselves a Christian, regardless of how they live or what they believe. To say, “I’m a Christian” does not necessarily convey a specific set of beliefs or moral standards, and this has been the case in America for many years now.

Christianity Today, founded by Billy Graham and one of the largest Christian publications in the world, has been trending leftward for quite some time, but these new revelations are eye-opening. Meg Basham over at the Daily Wire is reporting that between 2015 and 2022 the staff at Christianity Today have not shied away from throwing their money into politics. But every single dollar went to only one side. Between 2015 and 2022, nine Christianity Today employees made 73 political donations. All of them went to Democrats. This tally includes President and CEO Timothy Dalrymple, who gave $300 in two separate...

It was a cold, solemn day on the Texas ranch. A biting, prairie wind was staved off with a thick, fur coat wrapped around an American music icon. Former President Lyndon B. Johnson had said before he died that at his burial he wanted the Rev. Billy Graham to pray and Anita Bryant to sing. Bryant, once Miss Oklahoma and a Miss America second runner-up, was known in 1973 as the vivacious spokeswoman for Florida orange juice and the Sunshine State. She nervously tried to get her voice ready to sing for a worldwide satellite television audience at the president’s...

Oh, how barren is our time without these great giants - great influences. How adrift we have become. Where has Franklin been? Maybe I have missed him. Not to take away anything from dear MacArthur, Jeff Durbin or Jack Hibbs. But this era does not know Billy Graham. I miss our Christian nation.

Billy Graham, the influential evangelist who died on Wednesday at the age of 99, used his charisma to spread the word of Christianity to millions worldwide. It also earned him friends among the world’s rich and powerful — even among royalty. Graham, the son of a North Carolina farmer, began his worldwide mission in London in the 1950s, and it was here that he met with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The pair developed an unlikely friendship, visiting one another multiple times over the following decades; on Easter Sunday 1995, Graham gave the sermon in the royal family’s private chapel,...

On the outer edges of Charlotte, a baby boy, a masterpiece, a promise.Time may erode the echo of his voice, but it will never silence the power of his message: Christ and Christ alone.Billy, at 27 was the first full-time Evangelist in Youth For Christ, working for just $75 a week.He was humble, called, propelled, and ignited by the message of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. It was a fledgling ministry but an ageless mission.Billy, in command of the moment and the platform…...

"America has gone a long way down the wrong road. We must turn around and go back and change roads. If ever we needed God's help, it is now!" -stated Billy Graham, as he received the Congressional Gold Medal, May 2, 1996. Born NOVEMBER 7, 1918, Billy Graham wanted to be a baseball player, but in 1934, after attending a revival at age 16, his life changed. Billy Graham became an evangelist in the 1940s. He proclaimed: "All are sinners and stand under the judgment of God ... Christ came to make forgiveness and salvation possible. What did He do?...

A granddaughter of the Rev. Billy Graham, Jerushah Duford is a committed evangelical Christian who describes herself as “pro-life.” For most of her life, she voted Republican. Yet this year, she is voting for Joe Biden and is encouraging fellow Christians to distance themselves from a president who she says is trying “to hijack our faith for votes.”

The late Rev. Billy Graham would have been "disappointed" that his name was invoked in Christianity Today's recent call for President Trump's removal from office, Graham's son told Fox News on Monday night in an exclusive interview. "My father would be very disappointed and would not agree with it at all," the Rev. Franklin Graham said Monday on "The Ingraham Angle." "My father believed in Donald Trump, supported Donald Trump and he actually voted for Donald Trump, and if he were here today he would tell you that himself."

I was very unhappy with our primary choices in the 2016 elections. The GOP field was way too large which allowed a reality star candidate, without the majority of GOP voters’ support, to win. The Democrat side, emerging from a convention that booed God and Israel, couldn’t promote the violence of abortion or the pseudoscience of LGBT activism enough.  Yet in the match-up between a documented fabricator (Hillary Clinton, a Planned Parenthood endorsed candidate) and an egomaniac (President Donald Trump), which one should Christians have voted for? The evangelical Left twisted themselves into a theological knot trying to advocate for...

by Gina Cassini The editor-in-chief at Christianity Today, a publication founded by evangelist Billy Graham, caused political Twitter to explode on Thursday, after saying President Donald Trump “should be removed from office.” Mark Galli writes that, The president of the United States attempted to use his political power to coerce a foreign leader to harass and discredit one of the president’s political opponents. That is not only a violation of the Constitution; more importantly, it is profoundly immoral. Galli goes on to issue a slew of attacks on Trump's "moral character", and citing Trump aides victimized by the Mueller-Russia witch hunt as...
