    Anne Lotz's ministry statement of Faith states:
    We believe in God the Father, Creator of everything, Who loved the world He created and sent His only Son to be our Savior.

    Jesus is created? Randy, that is a serious problem!

    I know! A serious grammar problem! Anne is definitely her father's daughter* and believes in the Triune nature of God. I have followed her speaking engagements for quite a while, I see what you are getting at but I don't think it is anything more than a truly serious grammatical error. My suggested edit would be "We believe in God the Father, Creator of everything, Who loves the world He created. So much so, He sent His only Son to be our Savior."

    *... for those who read my blog and for whatever reason don't know ... the world renowned evangelist, Billy Graham, is Anne's father.

    @Mark -
    And Mark... I actually just read the statement of faith and the *very* next line says (emphasis mine)
    We believe that God the Son is Jesus of Nazareth, the Savior sent by God, Israel’s Messiah, born of a virgin, fully man and fully God.


    So, while the statement could use some serious editing. Why would you parse out something that is such a "serious" concern (implying that she doesn't believe in the deity of Christ) when she affirms such in the very next sentence?

    Or am I reading you wrong?

    Hey Randy,
    I did notice that, I also noticed several other "statements" that would appear to contradict the one I pointed out. Forgive me if I didn't give her the benefit of the doubt. Many folks double talk scripture - like to sound orthodox and yet preach a different gospel. I hope it is a grammer error - one would think she would have, or at lest somebody would have, pointed this out to her - she is not a novice, no?

    Randy, folks can believe in the diety of Christ and still deny He is eternal. That is why I said it is serious -
    I hope that answers your question - Or am I reading you wrong?

    my fault - it is a grammer error - the lack of a comma and the capitaliztion threw me.

    @Mark - No worries. I completely understand. But... I am also not so great at grammar so I understand how something like that can happen.

    thanks for commenting Mark.

    I'm more concerned about Anne Graham Lotz' politics than her grammar. She recently described the late North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms as a great Christian and American patriot. Correct me if I am mistaken but wasn't Jesse Helms a racist who oppossed civil rights legislation and supported the evil Apartheid system in South Africa ?. I believe he also supported the American Tobacco industry which has been the cause of some many premature deaths throughout the World. .

    Wow... where did you read all that. I don't know what Anne believes politically. She seems really level headed and wise on everything I talked to her and heard her share about.

    ... oh and thank you for your comment :).
