Yes, The "Reverend" is A Freemason
and yet he continues to be promoted
by the church
This is not news ... I've written about it several times. You are mistaken if you think I enjoy the ostracization - and, yes, persecution - that naturally results from pointing out these truths once again. Frankly, I'm very weary of it, but as long as I see evidence that churches are still unaware, I will continue. This is the work the Lord has assigned to me and I fully intend to do my very best to obey.
More than once I have personally heard from the lips of Billy Graham (on TV) that Jesus is NOT the only way to heaven, that ALL religions are equally valid to get to heaven ... and much more. I was astonished. No more. He has been saying this for many years - exactly the opposite of his televised sermons. Additionally, it is a well-known and undisputed FACT that 95% of all his referrals of new converts were directed to the Roman Catholic Church. And there is so much more.
All of the information below comes from Cutting Edge Ministries. It can be found in many other places, but Cutting Edge is, well ... cutting edge. Their research is unsurpassed, and thus is their credibility. Some of the articles below are free; others are available to members only ($30 semi-annually). I highly recommend the membership.

Can
you now see the importance of Billy Graham being a Mason? Look at the proofs:
March 28, 1997 -- Billy Graham listed as a 'Famous
Mason', page 16 of 20

Rev. Billy – Religion) … PDF File

-- May
31, 1997 -- Billy Graham is listed as a 'Famous Mason', page 5 of 9
Dr. Cathy Burns reports in her book,
"Billy
Graham and His Friends", that the Illuminati established and
built up Dr. Graham because they felt the need for a "high holy man"
of the New World Order.

I. Sadly, the BGEA
(Billy Graham Evangelist Association) is sliding further into deep Apostasy,
teaching the doctrines of New Age devils.
The BGEA is sponsoring
a retreat with Richard Foster, teaching the New Age program known as
"Renovaré".
"A Renovaré Retreat"
"DATES: Tuesday, October 29–
Friday, November 1, 2013"
"LOCATION: The Billy Graham
Training Center at the Cove in Asheville, North Carolina"
"Join the Renovaré community at
The Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove for a time of learning to live
with God instead of performing for God. Together we’ll go on the journey from
achieving to being, the road from self-importance to God-importance, the path
from noise and hurry to quietness and rest. It’s not a journey away from the
world, but toward a satisfying and authentic life of faith in the world."
"Having swum in various streams
of the Christian tradition, his heart longs to see the answer to Jesus’ prayer,
'that they may be one'."
Whenever you see an artist
performing in "various streams of the Christian tradition", your red
warning flags should instantly pop out. Jesus spoke only of One Way, and One
Tradition, and that Way He purchased with His shed blood. Any other way comes
from the Evil One.
Cutting Edge wrote about Richard
Foster and his Renovare program in 1998, so let us return to our article for
some succinct information.
"Through Google, I found the
official website --
http://www.renovare.org/ -- I encourage you to spend some time in this
site, for it is clearly Ecumenical in outlook and Evangelical/Catholic/New
Age/Charismatic in practice. How do I know that from perusing this site?"
Rather than taking the space and
time to reprint my original write-up, please take the brief time to read this
information. Then, you will be better prepared to understand how spiritually
serious this Renovare retreat under the auspices of the BGEA truly is.
Let us continue with a few troubling
points about Renovare.
"We seek to fulfill our mission
by promoting a
balanced vision of Christian faith and witness that incorporates the best from several traditions or
practices that we see in the life of Jesus Christ and the Church. To learn more
about the RENOVARÉ balanced vision read Streams of Living Water by Richard J.
Foster."
The words, "balanced vision of
Christian faith and witness" means that you are going to learn about, and
respect, all forms of religious thought, even if it teaches "another
Gospel", which it most assuredly does! Foster even admits he is drawing
from this type of polluted spiritual well when he says that this study
"incorporates the best from several traditions or practices". Roman
Catholicism stresses "Tradition". Charismatic stress
"practices". Thus, we can see that this study will incorporate
unbiblical material.
Listen carefully as the Renovare
Main Page admits the spiritual focus is Ecumenical!
"A foundational presence in the
Spiritual Formation movement for over 20 years, Renovaré is Christian in
commitment, ecumenical in breadth, and international in scope. Renovaré
promotes a Balanced Vision and Practical Strategy of spiritual renewal to
encourage individuals and churches to develop renewed, sustainable, and
enriched spiritual lives." (Renovare Home Page
http://www.renovare.org/ )
In the New Age Movement, the words,
"ecumenical" and "sustainable" are most favored by authors;
thus, anyone reading this material would be immediately alerted to the
probability that this Renovare program is not Biblical but New Age doctrine
dressed up as Christian doctine.
Any Christian could quickly and
easily discover this New Age / Mystical focus of Renovare. Certainly, the BGEA
could discover this truth quickly, given their ample resources. This
development is severe, and prophetic. In Matthew 24:24, Jesus spoke of the
unparalleled deception coming from both spiritual and political leaders at the
End of the Age.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association is encouraging its many followers to come to the BGEA
"Cove" conference center so their minds and hearts and souls can be
filled with the New Age Mystical teachings and practices. Too many good-hearted
people will simply trust the BGEA instead of researching Renovare beforehand.
Truly, we are living in the End of
the Age spoken of by the Apostle Paul, where he stated that only Christian
Churches could open the door for Antichrist, through their drastic apostasy
-- the drifting away from previously firmly held Biblical positions. Listen to
this prophecy:
"But relative to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ
and our gathering together to meet Him, we beg you brethren let no one deceive
or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes
first (unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to
be Christians has come) and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is
the son of doom (of perdition)."
[2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; Parallel Bible,
KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]
One of THE major signs that the End
of the Age is truly approaching is when you see the great majority of Christian
churches falling away from the Fundamentals of the Faith. A pastor or church leader
who knowingly moves away from teaching the "full counsel" of God, and
begins incorporating unbiblical and human elements in his services and his
teaching, is literally -- and Biblically -- opening the door to Antichrist. How
many well-meaning pastors have ever thought of this sober fact as they lead
their churches into areas and programs that are not Biblical?
What do you do if you see some of
these signs in your church fellowship? The stakes are huge: you may be saved,
but are suddenly attending a church that has -- or is in the process of --
moving away from the Fundamentals of the Christian Faith. Remember that Jesus
promised the Rapture only to the Church of Philadelphia, the only one of
the seven churches who had steadfastly remained true to the Fundamental Word of
His! Listen:
"Because you have guarded and kept My word … I also
will keep you safe from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world ..
to try those living upon the earth." [Revelation
3:10]
How much of His Word did Jesus expect
His true Church to keep? All of it! "Till heaven and earth pass, one
jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be
fulfilled." [Matthew 5:18]
Liberal pastor -- or increasingly
Liberal pastor, and BGEA -- you are opening the door to Antichrist, and you
will face this reality on the Day of the Judgment Seat of Christ!
