Another way of thinking is that Obama might hear the truth of the gospel at Billy Graham’s funeral, and turn from his wicked ways. That would probably answer one of Billy Graham’s prayers.

I grew up in Charlotte, NC, where the Graham family has been a local fixture for many decades. The first time I saw Billy Graham with a U.S. President was at the Charlotte Coliseum. Graham accompanied Richard Nixon.

Praying that Bill Graham’s passing will be peaceful and that the Lord give his family strength and comfort.

The man is a national treasure. God bless him.

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints”. Psalm 116:15 ... It is true that the eyes of the Lord are ever upon us, for He never slumbers nor sleeps.

“Graham is a public figure who led many to Christ.”.........

We need thousands more like him. When he goes, may God rest his soul.

Billy Graham celebrated his 95th birthday a few weeks ago. There was a big celebration in Asheville, NC at the Grove Park Inn.

We will never have another one like him. His long life here is almost done but what a welcoming party it will be in Heaven. Well done faithful servant.

I’d bet every last penny plus my life that Billy Graham is going to heaven and not hell.
He brought millions to their salvation in Christ. There can be no doubt about it. Imagine falsely that BG does not make it to heaven? We are all doomed. Perish that thought my friend.

I love watching the old Billy Graham sermons that take place in the football stadiums. He never fails to bring me to tears and goosebumps.

I know that in over 2000 years, only one man has been perfect but, Billy Graham has come pretty close.

I lost all respect for him when he said that Hillary would make a good president, obviously ignoring the fact that she is anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-Semitic, extremely pro-abortion, a thief, liar, perjurer, a lesbian, and involved very much in the murder of Vince Foster.

Forgive me, but I don’t have any tolerance for ignorance or pandering to a very disgusting person while overlooking these things.

I’m surprised that he hasn’t hugged Obambi.

Good man. God bless and keep him near to his heart.

Can't wait for the outpouring of love and tolerance from the moonbat left when this great man of God passes on to his reward...

I will miss him. But the opportunity to spend Christmas with
Mrs. Graham might just be too good to pass up.

This has been said about Billy Graham for decades now; but it’s a case of, “Sorry, can’t die until heaven commands it.”

Agree. The message of God’s love, salvation through Jesus Christ, and fellowship in the Holy Spirit is always fresh, relevant, & crucial to our lives. Few have delivered that message as well as Billy Graham.

Billy Graham was the person that led President IKE to the Lord shortly before he became POTUS. He was baptized after the inauguration.

I find it comforting that he gets to go to The Lord, before the rest of us get to deal with the sh!t storm that is coming.

No need for him to have to deal with that. He has finished his race. Now we must fight the good fight.

Of all the people in the world Billy Graham has nothing to fear. He will be with God 1 second after he passes. He’s lived the Christian life all his life.
