  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Franklin Graham shared the Gospel message with more than 30,000 people at a historic worship event in Belarus over the weekend, encouraging attendees to experience “a spiritual rebirth through Jesus Christ.”

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association said attendance surpassed 15,000 people on both nights of the Festival of Hope in Minsk, Belarus, over the weekend. The event took place Saturday and Sunday at Chizhovka Arena in Minsk, the capital and largest city in Belarus.

“Tonight you can experience a new birth, a spiritual rebirth through Jesus Christ," Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham, told the crowd. “Jesus didn’t come to condemn you; He came to save you. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’ There’s no other way to God. He made you and He loves you, but the only way to be forgiven of your sins and have a personal relationship with Him is through His Son, Jesus Christ.”

As CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Graham preached on both evenings and shared highlights from the weekend in a series of X posts.
