This week, we’re talking about an event in Peru where Franklin Graham preached to 90,000 people, which reportedly led to thousands of conversions. That sounds great, right? It does until you know about the message being preached. It is not the same gospel message that the apostles taught in the first century. We’re going to examine that in our episode today.

Thousands Turn to Christ as Massive Franklin Graham Event Reaches 90,000

Franklin Graham preached the gospel to 90,000 people in Lima, Peru, over the weekend, and thousands made commitments to give their lives to Jesus Christ as a result.

The historic “Esperanza Lima” outreach was held in the country’s National Stadium, which the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) reports was “packed from wall to wall” for two nights straight on Saturday and Sunday. (CBN News)

What does “propitiation” mean? How is “justification” connected to salvation? What does “sanctification” look like in our day-to-day lives? The Bible uses some powerful words to describe God’s plan to save mankind. However, these words are not always easy to understand, especially when they are not part of our everyday vocabulary. This book explores key Bible terms that unlock the message of the gospel.

Big Words in the Bible examines five important words – Propitiation, Reconciliation, Sanctification, Justification, and Resurrection – using plain language to see how the Scriptures describe these concepts and how the apostle Paul employs them in his letter to the Romans. This book also contains an appendix with eleven additional articles to explore these topics further.

Whether you are new to the Bible and want to grow in your understanding or want a simple way to explain these core gospel doctrines to others, this book will be helpful. With a focus on the Scriptures, Big Words in the Bible helps break down these fundamental topics to shed light on the life-changing message of the gospel and the salvation found in it.
