Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone - except God.

The line contrasts modern social norms of politeness and inclusivity with a perceived neglect of religious accountability. It suggests that public life can become so focused on avoiding interpersonal offense—through careful language, etiquette, or cultural sensitivity—that it overlooks the deeper moral and spiritual question of whether actions and values align with God’s will. In the context of Billy Graham’s preaching, the point functions as a critique of secularization: society may treat God as the one “party” it is safe to disregard, because divine offense carries no immediate social penalty. The quote thus urges prioritizing conscience and faithfulness over mere social approval.
