Reference your article in the WSJ "In prayer, Warren Calls for Tolerance

Ms Susan Sataline:

I find it fascinating that any Christian, such as Billy Graham you mention, would avoid the word Jesus as to not upset people. Without Jesus we have no access to the Father. The Bible says so. One either believes the Bible or they do not. The former can learn the latter will not.

God acknowledged Jesus as his Son, how can we do less; "and behold, a voice from heaven said, 'This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.'" If we fail to acknowledge Jesus before men or if we deny Jesus before men, he will deny us before our Father who is in heaven.

I do not know if Billy Graham believed his press or if he knew it was just hype but Billy Graham was not a spiritual advisor" to any politicians. Presidents used him to get to the people who followed him, today's Religious Right. Bill Graham was what is known as a dupe.

Today it is Rick Warren. Obama wants people to stop saying he (Obama) is not a Christian. He hopes that associating with Rick Warren will do that.

It is all politics not spirituality..... But without Jesus there is no access to the Father. Prayer without Jesus is talking to ones self.

Nice article....
