Also answered nine grass fires. all your questions about money were answered you would try to find some other excuse for turning your back on God. Have you ever honestly faced the fact that you need God and that living without him will never bring you the happiness and inner peace you are seeking? You seem to have convinced yourself that the best way to live is independently and free from God but you are wrong. God loves you, and he wants you to have what is best for you. Face your own need of Christ, and turn to him in repentance and faith.

You need his forgiveness, and you need his direction in life. You also need his eternal salvation, for apart from Christ you have no hope of the joy of heaven. You can only expect the loneliness and horror of hell. Christ promises you salvation if you will turn to him in faith.

My Answer Billy Graham Dear Dr. Graham: I am convinced preachers like you are just in it for the money. I'll bet you wouldn't dare let people know how much money your organization makes every year. I'd be religious also if I thought 1 could make a lot of money from it.

C.L. Dear C.L.: Judging from your attitude, I doubt if I could say anything that would make you feel differently because it seems clear that you have made up your mind and don't particularly want to change it. But for the record, you should know that the finances of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association are audited every year by a major national firm of certified public accountants and a summary of that audit is available to anyone who wants one. Many other religious organizations have the same practice. But my real concern is that you are only using this issue of money as an excuse to shut God out of your life.
