In November of 1948, in a hotel room in Modesto, California, a 29-year-old Billy Graham gathered three friends and made a list of every sin that could destroy them. Then he built a fence around his own life that held for sixty years.

This is the story of the Modesto Manifesto, and the one decision that can protect yours.

"Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established." Proverbs 4:26 (NKJV)

Most of us try to make holy choices in unholy moments, when we are tired, lonely, or cornered. Graham settled the question while his heart was calm, so the storm never got a vote. The strongest fence is the one you build while the field is still safe.
