Billy Graham’s Daughter: 9/11 Was ‘A Wake-up Call‘ But ’We’re Still Sleeping!’

Anne Graham Lotz: 9/11 Was A Wake up Call

Anne Graham Lotz

Anne Graham Lotz, daughter of famed evangelical leader the Rev. Billy Graham, believes that the 9/11 attacks on America were a wake-up call from God.

She believes that the event, though tragic, served as a call to all Christian believers to start a revival in the church. It was this horrific event, Lotz explains, that further sparked and reinvigorated her interest in spreading the gospel. According to Beliefnet, as she watched the towers fall on television a decade ago, God set her “heart on fire”:

“On that day, God woke me up and set my heart on fire to tell other people the glorious good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It made me more focused. As I watched the towers fall, I thought I was watching 50,000 people die, but many people had gotten out. It was less than 3,000, but it was still shattering. I asked myself how many were not ready to step into eternity. I remember that very day sharing the Gospel with strangers. I came out bolder. It was a time not to be silent.”

That passion apparently is still aflame inside of her as she says that she doesn’t want to see anyone “die without Jesus.” Christians like Lotz believe that admittance to heaven is dependent upon an acceptance of and a relationship with Jesus Christ. In a 2001 CNN interview that followed the terror attacks, she discussed the lessons 9/11 has taught:

I believe one of the lessons — and there are many, and some we are still learning — but one lesson is that we need each other. One is that there is more meaning to life than material prosperity. I think one lesson is that it’s time to think about our priorities, and what really matters, what’s really important. An over-arching lesson is one I’ve already given, and that‘s that while we’re buying insurance, homeowners, life, etc., we should also make sure that we’re insured for eternity, and the way to do that is to place faith in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.

Anne Graham Lotz: 9/11 Was A Wake up CallShe also contends that Americans have pushed God “farther and farther out of our government, businesses, marketplace and schools.” How do we fix this fatal error, you ask? Lotz says we simply need to repent and invite God back. Some, clearly, would scoff at such a notion, believing that faith and these sectors are meant to exist separately.

Of course, Lotz knows her statements and views are controversial, but she’s fine with that. She explains that she’s here to speak the “truth,” but with love. Knowing full well that debate may follow her commentary, she warns of what could come next if America doesn’t start listening:

“God allowed September 11 and used it. If we don’t wake up, what is going to come next?

This is a wake-up call for you! America, are you listening? [...]

In a world where political correctness seems to deny truth, where moral relativism seems to deny standards, and where religious pluralism seems to deny God, it’s vital to know what we believe and why we believe it.”

Ten years after 9/11, she says: “We’re still sleeping!” The wake-up call that she claims was sent from God has apparently, in her view, not yet been heeded.

This year, to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks, Lotz plans to co-host a worldwide Simulcast along with Christian author Joel Rosenberg. This event will include a 9-week Bible study to follow (optional of course). Below, see an event trailer that encourages Americans to “wake up”:

Regardless of where one stands on Lotz’s beliefs, it does appear that the passion she so actively showcased following the September 11 attacks is still driving her work today.

      I hope you are very young, and still have time to re-examine your opinion of the Creator of the Universe. I hope you understand that we all have to COME TO GOD. HE doesn’t FORCE us. Islam is from Satan. THEY force people; they enslave people; they are the cause of the“DARK AGES” and at one time covered more land on earth than the ROMANS had, they are after that world domination again. THEY don’t want to live in PEACE, they don’t want any faith but ISLAM. I hope you know this is a battle between good and evil. I hope you know that this is only one tiny part of the life available to those of us who love GOD. You need to learn about the Millions of great minds and very successful human beings who have come to know GOD. YOU have to make an effort, but from your comments, you have no clue about who the GOD/CREATOR of the UNIVERSE is. YOU are a victim of decades of brainwashing geared to “take God away” from you. I hope you’ll at least consider what has been said here. How do you start? Just ask HIM. seriously. Just ask. and then open your heart and watch. HE is the opposite from what you have stated. Your life should be a quest to know
      why you are here and what your role is and how it ‘all fits’. It’s a great journey. Good luck! :)

      God didn’t kill the people in those buildings. We did. He allowed us to chose and we chose poorly.
      Of course you may not have been there, nor were you flying those planes – but you too have hate in your heart that desires the same vile outworkings. We “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Roman 3:23
      God cannot and will not choose for us and then make us responsible for his choice, it is against his nature. He also allows things like this to happen to show us clearly what a world without His image looks like. Behold, the consequences of our sins.

      @HOLY GHOST BUSTER The Bible is the Word of God. God did tell Saul to get rid of a whole race of people. I’ll let you guess which ones. He said to not even leave their animals alive. The reason was because they kept sneaking up on Israeli camps and murdering them. Even God gets angry. But Saul thought that he knew better than God. He saved the best animals for sacrifice to God and that wasn’t what God told him to do. God had told him that if he didn’t get rid of them, there would be trouble from now on. Of course, in the book of Romans.. God says that there are those created for mercy and there are those created for destruction. The reason is something to the effect of “we need to be able to see the bad, before we can see the power of His good. As for healing… we are here in earth suits. One day…every knee will bow at the mention of His name and confess that Jesus is Lord..ones in heaven, ones on the earth and ones below the earth. This means you too… there is no option there…but He does give you the opportunity to accept Him now. Confess your belief that Jesus/Yeshua is the Son of God.. that He died for our sins and rose the third day and still lives. Learn your Bible.. the NKJ is easy to read..I would suggest a study bible by John Macarthur and get with a group of Christians for Bible study. You need to ask God for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Remember….faith,….belief…if you deny Him before men…He will deny you before the Father

Hence, teachers uniions preaching a liberal agenda at schools and universities, pumping Communist/Islamic propaganda into the soft heads of children. Then you have all the other uniions which you can see is headed up by the Mafia.. Islam/Communism joined at the hip. This country was thrown to the dogs and it is doutful that it can ever recover. Demoralization of America ,starting with schools , greed, power mongering, criminal tactics,our tax dime funded Acorn..they had all the bases covered. I didn’t vote for him. He repulsed me. But people here don’t understand the magnitude of which muslims have infiltrated our government. I bellieve that we are on the Titanic, and it’s just a matter of time. Remember..there’s always car trunk votes. never forget the trillions that Obama loaded his buddies pockets with and the healthcare (property/money grab) shoved down our throats.

    Yes, pretty much agree & also with those that said we “woke up” briefly but went back to sleep – she probably meant that also. It never lasts very long for most – human nature. Always just a few who “stay awake”…..reminds me of what Jesus said to His disciples the night he was betrayed and they went to sleep even after He asked them to stay awake & admonished “keep alert and pray. Otherwise temptation will overpower you. For the spirit is willing, but how weak the body is!” They were asleep for different reasons but the admonishment is a wise one for us all at all times in life…which is unpredictable & difficult but now we’re in even more dire times here…..many powerful enemies out to get us more now than in the past b/c they see our weaknesses & Obama as a “plus” for them.
    Also agree about the Towers being symbolic to the terrorists AND God allowing it — our materialistic, greedy, godless proud society – needed to repent and get back to God but most of us reacted with pride, saying we’d get revenge – we are all powerful America, etc. – like that song by Toby Keith then . Wrong reaction. We weren’t humble or repentant. Sort of like when the Titanic went down. Everyone proudly boasted of their human ability to build this “indestructible” ship – filled with greedy, proud, rich people — guess what – it went down. That was a wake up call too. but we didn’t heed it either. Oh well……afraid it might be time for more drastic wake up calls.

    Woke up, hit the snooze button, went back to sleep….though not all.
    Towers = our finincial strength
    Pentagon = our military power
    plane that was taken down.. lead by a God fearing man = our government

    The terrorists even stated that was the reason they targeted these buildings They were symbolic

    Towers go down… financial collapse ( we see the great possibility of this happening)
    Pentagon badly damaged…. military not doing so well
    government building not touched ??? not sure… maybe we get our government back, we will see in 2012, maybe it continues in the godless direction it is and God allows that to, because we have not done what 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 says.

    PLEASE…. IF YOU CAN FIND PICTURES OF THE COLLAPSED BUILDINGS NOTICE…THE CROSSES IN SETS OF 3 AT THE TOP OF THE STRUCTURES. THERE IS ONE SECTION THAT HAS A LONG RUN, WAS NEVER SURE OF THE AMOUNT( MAYBE 12)

If you are asking why some of us sin and other sin less, I guess it comes from learning the word of God or the lack of it.

You see, God doesn’t want robots to love Him. That is why he made us free. There is good and evil in life. We have to choose, but that leaves us open to temptation and sin.

      I understand what you are saying, we all have free will, we can and do make our decisions. We all must also know that every decision will have a consequence either good or bad. Since Adam made his wrong decision, all of us has inherited his imperfection and our Creator has made it possible for us to be redeemed from that consequence (death) through the ransom paid by His Son, Jesus Christ.

      The question for us is; What decision will we make regarding this dynamic love from God?

      Why do you assume that I would ask, “yes, but then OldTrucker would ask, why did Adam sin.” ?

      My question was legitimate and simple; Why are we sinners? Yes we have free will, that is not arguable. I was asking for some thought from people as to why or how we got to the condition we are in, we being sinners. Most of us do not want to sin, but we do, we can’t help it. What a dilemma.

REMEMBER, “Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.” How does He see yours?

    God sent the Israelites warnings too. When they didn’t pay attention to them, He sent conquerors in and they went in to slavery to foreigners. Eventually they got the message and turned back to God and he would redeem them. Of course the people who ignored the warnings were long gone by the time the people were redeemed. I hope America isn’t as hard headed but, I’m afraid we are…maybe worse.

      There is a verse in the bible that says I ( God ) will speak if my words are not heard I will speak louder, if My words are still not heard I will speak louder still. I am paraphrasing here but you are right. That God is what that God was!!!

      I just want to know where that verse is. Can you help me with that? You paraphrased it but I do not recognize it. I want to see how the Bible expresses that thought.

      4truth2all,

      You told Gonzo; “There is a verse in the bible that says I ( God ) will speak if my words are not heard I will speak louder, if My words are still not heard I will speak louder still.”

      There is no scripture that says that is there. It is not good to misrepresent the Bible.

      I was only asking the question to see if you were interested in knowing or wanting to argue. If so I would not have replied.

      I would never purposely mis- represent any teaching in the bible (don’t be so quick to accuse).

      It is in the Old testement; I do not know where exactly, but if you will be patient I will attempt to find it for you. I will be very busy next week working very long hours and taking some time off the following,but I will make the effort to find it.I hope this is acceptable. I will see a post from you at some point. Maybe you can find it first and let me know……blessings

      As someone who hates God and Christians, that is fine, but you have to be careful who you say such things about because when you are wrong it makes it obvious you are just being an anti-Christian bigot. The Grahams have always been one of the finest Christian families. Billy Graham set a real example for all Christian pastors. Next time you decide to make a vile attack, at least do a tiny bit of research first to make sure you aren’t exposing your own problems.

      To the two tools that replied.

      There is a God and I love the creator of the universe. I do right by him and he does right by me.
      I do not need a Man-Writen book to know how to live…..maybe you do.

      It has nothing to do with bitterness and everything to do with seeing clowns like the Graham’s play the suckers of this world.

      If God can see you in the deepest darkest pit commit a sin…..when God can see you pray from anywhere.
      You don’t have to go to a suckers church to pray.
      If the church cost more to build, does that mean God will hear your prayers better?

      Some are blinded and refuse to acknowledge God. All men are created with an inward awareness of God but hardened hearts refuse to acknowledge Him. The current world situation with all its calamities could be His judgement or warning us to change our direction. The situation certainly should let us know how much we cannot control in our lives. And of some of those things that we have the capability to control many times we do a miserable job trying.

      I would suggest you try to learn more of the Grahams and of their personal lives and the way that Billy Graham ran the organization before you set yourself up as their judge. Your bitterness toward them betrays your judgmental attitude. Only God judges hearts.

      Better to be a tool, in God’s hand, than a worm. Sorry but you need to stop digging. You no doubt have never known someone who is “beyond reproach” or “above reproach” so it isn’t surprising that you just assume everyone is like yourself or your family. But as Gomer Pyle often said “surprise surprise” there actually are good people out there! And that includes the Billy Graham family.

    Hats off to Anne Graham for her bravery and standing up for the truth (which isn’t in parentheses, by the way). The main reason this country has gotten off track is because we have shut God out of our American system. People have so screwed up the definition of “separation of church and state” that we no longer stand for Biblical truth in the government. If we go back to our Judeo-Christian heritage, we will thrive; if not, then I fear the time for America is almost up. Other countries have dethroned God from their lives and the countries are now in shambles. Mark my words: no country will ever survive or stand very long without God. Thank you, Anne, for staying strong. Do not ever give up the fight.

    The insurance analogy is great.
    Of course she is correct.
    I believe all that is happening in the world today has been predestined.
    All we as Christians need to do is “believe, trust, rely and cling” to Jesus and his teachings.
    Love our Heavenly Farther and Love our fellow man.
    God sent Jesus down to end the first covenant at the right time. Is it possible the the second coming is getting close as a result of humanities arrogant wickedness today?

    Anne Graham Lotz is a great and brave woman. She is speaking the truth….in a time when VERY FEW OTHERS ARE.

    Thank God there are those such as her, that have paid the price to walk in the fear of the Lord, and stand uncompromising and declare the Word of the trud and Living God.

    May we not turn a deaf ear, but listen and obey with a sense of urgency. We are surely in trouble, and there are none of us who do not need to come out of thespirit of slumber that has come upon this nation. I for one, know that includes me. May we heed the warning of God and become sober.

    When evil abounds, and evil calls evil good, and that which is good evil…..then we are truly in perilous time.

    The election is important-BUT AND ELECTION CANNOT SAVE US. ONLY GOD CAN SAVE US. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAITHFUL, EVEN WHEN WE HAVE NOT.

    Let us hear her words and quickly with urgency obey.

    May God bless you all…and may His Grace and Mercy be upon us and our families and this nation.
