IRS Audits Billy Graham’s Ministry

 

The IRS was targeting more than just Tea Party groups and conservative political organizations. The federal agency targeted the ministry of Billy Graham and the relief organization led by his son, Franklin Graham, called Samaritan's Purse. Franklin Graham has written a letter to the President, calling the IRS audits as "morally wrong and unethical." It was the first time the IRS had audited the ministry. Both organizations are based in North Carolina . The state newspaper for Baptists, The Biblical Recorder, was also audited for the first time since it began publication in 1833. All three organizations were cleared by the IRS.

 

 

Judge: Bible Verses on Banners OK

 

A Texas judge says Bible verses on banners at public school football games are fine. Judge Steven Thomas ruled it is constitutional for cheerleaders at Kountze High School to display run-through banners with messages like "If God is for us, who can be against us." The judge decided the messages on the banners are the protected private speech of the cheerleaders. The Freedom From Religion Foundation complained about the banners last fall, claiming it amounted to school endorsement of Christianity. The ruling may be appealed.

Highlights from Letters to Power 88

 

Ø  The Lord blessed me with finding your station the moment I was able to buy a little radio the other day.  God willing finances will be in order very soon and we can help bless your station very soon. The other night I was really being fought with discouragement and your young people’s music was on. It lifted my spirits so much to hear a station that supported not only contemporary but also a little bit of a rock edge for our kids Loving our people back to life to our Lord and Savior through the healing gift of music is the silent words our hearts do not know how to pray or say sometimes and that is why our gifted artists are such a blessing to us all they are used by our God of love to touch the broken lives and hearts so easily through their gifts of song. Music is Gods blessings of refreshing living waters for us all to embrace and rest and praise our living Savior!!! Thank you so very much for your faithfulness to our God and our people J.M.

 

Ø  It is my pleasure to give to a Christian organization whose efforts bring such joy to my life on a daily basis. I am so thankful for this station and to all that make this happen! You are a blessing to our community. N.D.

Help ... my husband is addicted to video games

My husband and I are Christians, and we've been married for a year and half. We're expecting our first child in a few months. I am concerned about his fascination with computer games – especially the ones that involve a lot of battles and war.

Every night when he comes home from work, he goes straight to the computer and will play these games until 1 or 2 a.m. – with a short break for supper. I know that he needs to "unwind" from his workday, but instead of relaxing, he often ends up in a bad mood.

I've tried talking to him about the amount of time he spends gaming, but he doesn't seem to care. read more
