Franklin Graham's Impact On The World
Franklin Graham’s impact on the world is his Christian evangelism and desire to help those in need. He strongly believes that only through Jesus can you reach Eternal Life and has made it his mission to help everyone he can achieve Heaven. As the CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, his father’s organization, Graham can do this through his famous evangelistic festivals that can be found all over the world. Graham is also the CEO of Samaritan's Purse, an organization dedicated to helping anyone in need, especially those after a tragedy or disaster. This desire of his to help others took flight as he heard, and even saw, all the horrible things that were happening, such as floods and tornadoes. Graham has also written several books

    Can some man arrive at moral perfection in this life, or is it impossible? Benjamin Franklin was an extremely brilliant and talented individual. He constantly sought ways to improve himself. After he read "The Spectator" he put in a very dedicated effort to imitate their style of writing because he loved how precise the authors wrote out their thoughts. Franklin was also a relatively religious man or at least believed enough to try to be a morally righteous man so that he would avoid his way into hell. Through these beliefs and virtues Franklin created a plan to achieve moral perfection. Although finding the task somewhat more difficult than he first imagined he stayed with his convictions and deduced thirteen virtues to improve upon and follow. These virtues were: order, silence, temperance, resolution, frugality, industry, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility. Now how did he come up with the virtues and what did the virtues consist of? After concocting this ingenious plan towards moral perfection did Franklin ever see it through and reach moral perfection?…
