The unofficial Billy Graham blog, exploring the life of the world's greatest evangelist.
Billy Graham on Jesus Christ:"I'm counting totally and completely on the Lord Jesus Christ, and not on Billy Graham. I'm not going to heaven because I've read the Bible, nor because I've preached to a lot of people. I'm going to heaven because of what Christ did."
Billy Graham Supports Minnesota Marriage Amendment
In the face of increasing criticism over his recent political involvement, Billy Graham releases a statement (PDF) supporting the marriage amendment in Minnesota that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, banning gay marriage (which is already outlawed in Minnesota):
For more than 50 years, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was based in Minneapolis and we were blessed by the support of thousands of Minnesotans who helped us spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ around the world. As a former resident with strong personal and ministry ties to the North Star State, I pray that the good people of Minnesota will show their support for God’s definition of marriage, between a man and a woman. I wholeheartedly endorse the Marriage Protection Amendment, and urge you to vote Yes to pass Amendment 1.
Billy Graham also gave support to an anti-gay marriage amendment in North Carolina earlier this year.
