Franklin Graham: The Spirit of Anti-Christ Is Everywhere

Speaking during a special chapel service, the evangelical preacher asked the students of the private Christian university in Siloam Springs, Ark., to "set the sail for the course that God has in front of you," while overcoming the pitfalls, temptations and challenges in their path.

"The last thing the devil wants you to do is serve the Lord Jesus Christ," he said.

Graham, the president and CEO of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, shared about his ministry's relief response in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, telling the audience that the Gospel message has always been at the core of their work.

He said that they prayed with every patient before an operation and gave a Bible to every patient.

"We wanted everyone to know that Jesus Christ was God's Son," said the American evangelist.

Graham recently traveled back to Haiti where he delivered the Gospel message to tens of thousands at the National Soccer Stadium in Port-au-Prince. Hundreds came forward when he extended an invitation to receive Christ.

"I don't care how much good work you do. If you fail to prepare a person to stand before eternity, if you fail to prepare a person to stand before God, you're just wasting your time. So we take every opportunity to tell a person about Jesus," he said.

But preaching the Gospel may prove difficult, according to Graham, in a society where mentioning the name of Christ is prohibited.

The sad thing is, when a person who claims to be saved but still lives in sin becomes active in church and is given responsibilities and positions in the process. In this case, the devil is happy with people who serve in churches like this. Focus on evangelism should also come with vigilance in holiness in church.

This is very cool that it deals with young people. I feel a lot of my peers that don't know God are open to it and even interested in it and all they need is to be formally introduced to God. Witnessing is something that I am learning to do because I am beginning to realize how important it is; I am growing in my faith and want to share it with others.

So I really pray that this generation of young people will be able to focus their enthusiasm and ambition on spreading God's love and His word, and hopefully we can start a revolution!

Every Christian has sin in their life. There are no Christians walking around that aren't engaging in sinful behavior. People that go into ministry are no different than you and me. I think there is a big difference between living in sin and having sin in your life. I would consider a Christian, who is commiting adultery and doesn't want to stop, someone who is living in sin. Shoot I would even question if they were saved if they didn't see what was wrong with that. I think a lot of Christians forget that it takes time for sinful ways to break off and they erroneously label these types of Christians as living in sin. Also, sin is used many times as a noun in the Bible and not a verb. When you live under Grace sin will not have dominion over you but when you live under Law it certainly will. And many Christians are living under Law and don't realize it.
