Translated into Dutch
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005I just found out that my “WWJD (What Would Jay-Z Do?)” article was translated into Dutch. Curious.
Ten Opinions
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005“THE SUPREME Court’s decisions yesterday on displays of the Ten Commandments on public property were not a model of clarity or judicial consensus. To resolve two cases, one from Texas and the other from Kentucky, the justices delivered 10 different opinions — one, we suppose, for each commandment in the Decalogue. … “Context is obviously [...]
White people and black people and different colored people
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005“Everybody thinks of evangelism as being kind of a rural thing, kind of a country religion. And I think one of the messages that they wanted to demonstrate here was that evangelism is very big in a big city like New York. … And I was watching some white people and black people and different [...]
This is my offering
Tuesday, June 28th, 2005Below is the scripted version of Saturday night’s offering appeal. I didn’t deliver it exactly as written, but the gist is here. ____________________________________ For 60 years Billy Graham has spoken live to more than 200 million people. Not as a showman or a salesman. But as a spokesman for Truth that transforms lives and empowers [...]

Monday, June 27th, 2005This afternoon at Flushing Meadows Corona Park, 100,000 gathered for what might be the final chapter in Billy Graham’s storied career as a Crusade evangelist. And there we were, 25 minutes before he preached what is quite possibly his final sermon, kneeling in his private compound to pray with and for him: my father Pastor [...]

Monday, June 27th, 2005From BGEA, here. “By the end of his historic Greater New York Crusade, Billy Graham had preached to more than 242,000 people, and over 9,400 people of all ages and widely varying nationalities had committed their lives to Jesus Christ.”
He’s a stand-up guy
Monday, June 27th, 2005(Photo courtesy of the NY Times) My friend Art Bailey, the crusade director. It’s not easy shouldering the load of a legend’s last anything, but Art carried the weight of Billy Graham’s final American crusade with dignity and class. Through adversity from every side, Art’s faith never wavered, although it was tested beyond measure. Thanks, [...]
How evangelistic are we, really?
Sunday, June 26th, 2005Overwhelmingly, the media coverage of the crusade has been positive. But an op-ed from Sunday’s NY Times, although similarly respectful, raised some hard issues. “Indeed, most of those who come to hear Mr. Graham preach are already born-again Christians. Some may be ‘backslid’ in their faith or fighting drugs, but it is seldom the hardened [...]
