Thor Tolo recently spoke with Franklin Graham about the California wildfires, the passing of his mother Ruth and Samaritan’s Purse. The occasion was to promote a three-day evangelistic event in Tacoma, WA beginning Friday, November 2...
Thor Tolo: What will be the focus or the theme of your message on Friday, Franklin?
Franklin Graham: I’m going to talk about hell.
Now there is something refreshing—you hardly hear pastors from the pulpit on Sunday mornings speak so bluntly about something that most decidedly exists.
Well, I am going to be stopping in California. We have teams of people working in Southern California where they are helping with the aftermath of these devastating fires. It’s made me just stop and think about fire, and what hell is all about.
It is a place of torment; it is a place of judgment. And you know the Bible talks about God’s love and His forgiveness, but forgiveness from what? From sin. And what is the consequence of sin?
