Ones love for God is *chiefly* demonstrated, illustrated, and authenticated by loving others. Period. When you open the New Testament and ask the question, "What does it look like to be a follower of Jesus...?", it's crystal clear.
If you don't 'get' anything else, here's the thing that should describe Jesus’ followers, here's the thing that should characterize Jesus’ followers 'more than anything else', here's what He said to His closest followers before He left the earth - "By *this* everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
It's not by how much Bible you know or memorize, it’s not by the gold cross hangin' on your neck, it's not by goin' to church on Sunday morning, it’s not by ‘following rules’, it's not your church bumper sticker, it's not what kind of family you were born into or raised in, it's not that you were baptized, it's not the ‘way’ you worship, it's not by policing other people's behavior, and it’s certainly not by having a high and mighty attitude.
"By *this* everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another." The defining characteristic of a follower of Jesus…according to Jesus Himself…is how they treat other people.
i'm still pissed at his old man for having those hours long tv specials back in the 3 channels days. your choice was lawrence welk, billy graham cracker or the flying nun.
Ha .. He was a big deal on television wasn't he. Of course, now a days we have Keanu Reeves, sporting a high school beard, slaughtering half of gotham(I may have the city wrong) and walking away with a slight limp.
This thread is about Franklin Graham and after both his father and him have been attacked and even accused of burning in hell... ya it's appropriate to show examples of their ministries and outreach.
Kent
I'm sure their website shows their ministries.
People who read the Bible know what it says about works and material justifications.
Personally I have respect for the graham family ministries. I accept their testimony as Christians.
Why don't you comment to HC, take him to task, quote scripture on his blatant judgement of Billy Graham's salvation, twice insinuating he's in hell?
