If he was preaching it “according to the Scriptures”, he would never fit in with the Catholics and the liberals.

About 12 years ago, I started volunteering at the Gospel Mission (where I am now working), and we had many of Graham’s Decision magazines donated. I went through them carefully to see if they actually contained “the Gospel” – they did not! Sure, one magazine at Easter focussed on Jesus’ death and suffering – but not how He paid the Full penalty for our sins, nor how belief in His resurrection was imporant. If 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 defines what the Gospel is, Billy Graham’s magazine falls woefully short! The other magazines were the same – nothing in them to make a distinction or clarification between the true gospel and false ones, not one single magazine in the ones I read preached the gospel fully or clearly.
