religion without a personal encounter with jesus christ will not save the soul. searching for god through religion and not finding him. you've got to know christ for yourself to read when you know christ for yourself there is a peace and fulfillment and life takes on a purpose and there's a sense of forgiveness for your sins. and there's a joy unspeakable and full of glory. >> this is that his official office here the training center of the co-area he would meet important people here delegations from foreign countries and things like that. he would bring people up there to meet him. this is the family's favorite picture. jokeamily has a private that behind there is a man plowing. he stayed by the farm that was the family joke that he stayed by the farm. it shows daddy sowing the seed of the gospel around the world. i am the eldest daughter of ruth and billy graham. of being introduced as the eldest and oldest, especially the older i get one they love the the longest. daddy was in charlotte until the day he passed away. he felt himself a farmer's boy from charlott

that's exactly right especially on the two thousand the anniversary of the birth of jesus christ so they could be very mishaps but they're also been some stunning success is not just in scotland but a people's image of a country of a people is actually part of a well chosen and perhaps authentic slogan something has to be authentic to work doesn't it. two of the most authentic slogans that have ever been developed for tourism purposes are i love new york which has been phenomenally successful over the last forty years and will probably continue to be successful because again it was developed organically similar to this is edinburgh allowing the people to connect with the slogan because if the residents don't connect with the slogan or with the tourism branding the no amount of whitewash is going to make this authentic i'm thinking of the great successes only in edinburgh castle for example was a million have visit you wouldn't they be forgiven for saying listen folks are going to come to edinburgh castle whether we mark them know it how do you stop people sitting on the lot of us look fo

that's show business but that is not the gospel of jesus christ. christianity seems to be a bit in both of the categories at the moment. try um fanlt asent and plummeting catastrophe. on the one hand, ivevangelicals seems to be in the media quite a bit as a political phenomenon with no small amount of influence. on another hand, survey after survey after survey shows trouble, dem graphically with millennial and generation z, churchgoers or x churchgoers. and the unrest here turns out is not exactly what the doomsayers have been predicting all along. younger evangelicals are not yielding to the inestability of secularization. nor are they leaving churches in large numbers because they want to liberalize historic doctrine or ethics. the obstacle, it seems to me, is not secularism as much as cynicism. i wonder if it is just another badge of tribal identity. another vehicle for political action or even worse, just another marketing scheme. the campus ministry dropped evangelical from their name. they found this to be an unwieldly obstacle. so many stud

have thought about activism in terms of preaching the gospel and trying to convert somebody to jesus christ. now as an evangelical i would love to sit down and talk with you about my faith back and forth over coffee. [laughter] i don't think the state should be doing that. at a conference on secularism at georgetown i said the same thing, and the guy interviewing me said you are not in my face and i said i like the news about jesus christ. i would like to talk with you about that. everybody laughed. it'it was kind of an awkward moment. but i don't think the state should be involved in that. what i fear as they get so close to politics, when they seek playbook why aren't they supporting candidates that social progress for the poor and all these other things, pro- immigration and so forth, i think a lot of that is because they have privileged certain issues over another. talking to a reporter about this, there is a hierarchy of morality in the conservative evangelicalism. it's at the top right now alongside other religious liberties as they would define it that is a point. they have rarely ha

the world bank to assist with the development of the two thousand anniversary of the birth of jesus christ in bethlehem as part of the millennium celebrations and i advise the mayor of bethlehem not to release live white doves at midnight because they would fly into the large television lights and in fact be baked and he asked what i suggest as an alternative and i said similar to what they did at the lillehammer winter olympics they use latex rubber gloves filled with helium it created the same effect they could capture them reuse them it was sustainable of course he didn't like my advice and he released his two thousand white dove and they had two thousand roasted on international television and that's the only message that remembers sadly from that iconic event so you would have to just slogans carefully and don't roast just the stuff that's exactly right especially on the two thousand and a version of the birth of jesus christ so we could be by me mishaps but also being some outstanding success is not not just in scotland but of people's image of a country of the people is actually par

christ to those up his couple churches and remind them who christ is and he is not christina, he is jesus christrd of lords. >> why do we have to change who the holy father is? >> let me remind you this is a proposal someone has the right to present. secondly, it is important to remember that as jesus says in john chapter 4 god is spirit and those who worship god must worship god in spirit and in truth so god is spirit, bigger than all our language was when i pray the lord's for i pray our father who art in heaven and i will continue to and also i would even add please know the up his couple church is not debating the trinity. we believe in god the holy trinity, don't worry about that. we are not debating whether jesus is lord. do not worry about that. this discussion is about worship and worship language but not about changing god or jesus, god is god and jesus christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. we will be right back. boom. love it.

but that is not the gospel of jesus christ. american evangelical hristianity seems to be a bit in both of these categories at asent andnt a plummeting catastrophe. right now evangelicalty seems to media quite a bit with no small amount of influence. on the other hand survey after shows after survey trouble demographically with z lennial and generation church goers or x church goers. it turns outt here is not exactly what the oomsayers have been predicting all along. younger evangelicals are not inevitability of secularization nor are they leaving churches in large umbers because they want to liberalize historic doctrine or ethics. seems to me, is not secularism as much as cynicism. many are wondering whether is justcal christianity another badge of tribal identity for a her vehicle worse, al action or even just another marketing scheme. n this very campus, princeton evangelical fellowship made headlines around the world when dropped the nistry word evangelical from their name. this to be an evangelism tacle to and discipleship

jefferson's god, certainly nothing about jesus christ for these kinds of things. but he is tapping into something that religion was important to the founding fathers. they sought religion as something that you're getting to the greater good of the republic, and i would make the argument that it doesn't matter what kind of religion it was. theeligion contributed to republic the statesmen were trying to create, they had use for it. if -- there are a whole group of activists who peddle in the past. barton and david others. they do not hang around washington, d.c., circles. they show you how america was founded as a nation. one of the things they will tell you is that separation of church and state does not exist in the constitution anywhere. , it is hard to uphold that position and not go all the way. if church and state are separate, if there should be an establishment of religion in some way, how is that any different from sort of saying one religion should be privileged over another religion? most of the hard-core christian right leaders believe of was founded as
