Billy Graham’s Daughter: 9/11 Was ‘A Wake-up Call’ But ‘We’re Still Sleeping!’
1 Thessalonians 5:6, “Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch …”
“Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of famed evangelical leader the Rev. Billy Graham, believes that the 9/11 attacks on America were a wake-up call from God.
She believes that the event, though tragic, served as a call to all Christian believers to start a revival in the church. It was this horrific event, Lotz explains, that further sparked and reinvigorated her interest in spreading the gospel. According to Beliefnet, as she watched the towers fall on television a decade ago, God set her ‘heart on fire’:
‘On that day, God woke me up and set my heart on fire to tell other people the glorious good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
It made me more focused. As I watched the towers fall, I thought I was watching 50,000 people die, but many people had gotten out. It was less than 3,000, but it was still shattering. I asked myself how many were not ready to step into eternity. I remember that very day sharing the Gospel with strangers. I came out bolder. It was a time not to be silent.’
That passion apparently is still aflame inside of her as she says that she doesn’t want to see anyone ‘die without Jesus.’ Christians like Lotz believe that admittance to heaven is dependent upon an acceptance of and a relationship with Jesus Christ.” Read more.
