In his most recent prayer letter Billy Graham thinks he's delivering just another one of his fire and brimstone sermons, but he is unwittingly admitting that his lifelong mission (to have the whole world believing and behaving like him) has ended in failure. He laments
- the terrible downward spiral of our nation’s moral standards and the idolatry of worshiping false gods such as technology and sex
- Self-centered indulgence, pride, and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle
- My heart aches for America and its deceived people.
Of course, things aren't as bad he says they are - technology and sex, for example, are not "false gods" and people do not "worship" them. Nevertheless, from Billy's point of view, it's all been a waste of time.
