Billy Graham says: We need a spiritual revival that will put a new moral fiber into our society... Ever since the end of World War II this country, along with the other English-speaking countries, has been plunging into moral corruption at a rate that is gaining momentum. Honesty and truthfulness have been thrown out of the window. The United States of America is on one mad whirl of amusements and pleasure and licentiousness and immorality. Juvenile delinquency is mounting so rapidly we can't keep pace with the figures. The drug menace is increasing, and claiming new young victims every day. Some of the identical symptoms that were noticed in Rome during the last days of the Empire are now observed and felt in our society. Divorce rates are increasing. Racial tensions are worse, not better. Inflation is eroding the savings of those with lower incomes. Political issues are dividing us. Confidence in government has been shaken. Walk down the streets of our cities and read the names of the latest films on the marquees. Most of the films deal with sex, crime, and abnormal behavior. One can only ask, what is the country coming to? As things are, we are being softened up for the kill. It is time that we come to the foot of the cross. When we come to the cross and receive Christ as Savior, he gives us the capacity to love our neighbor. There is no superior race in God's sight. God does not look on the outward appearance, he looks on the heart. God sees our pride. We will have to come where we can love each other as neighbors and look through the eyes of Jesus at these problems.

One of the biggest dangers to the Western world today is false religion. The cults are flourishing. Thousands of people in our churches are serving God with their lips, but their hearts are far from him. They have never had an encounter with Jesus Christ, have never been born again, and have never been converted. God is looking for real and genuine repentance. In effect, Billy Graham is echoing the passage in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which states: "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land." In essence, this is the divine philosophy of revival. It teaches that revival implies a spiritual deterioration; it also teaches that revival involves spiritual awakening. It does not matter how dark and depressing a spiritual situation may be; if God's people, who are called by His name will humble themselves, and pray and seek His face, and forsake their sins, God will hear from heaven, forgive their sins and heal their land. In other words, this verse gives us hope.
