"America has gone a long way down the wrong road. We must turn around ... If ever we needed God's help, it is now!" Billy Graham

"America has gone a long way down the wrong road. We must turn around and go back and change roads. If ever we needed God's help, it is now!" -stated Billy Graham, as he received the Congressional Gold Medal, May 2, 1996.

Born NOVEMBER 7, 1918, Billy Graham wanted to be a baseball player, but in 1934, after attending a revival at age 16, his life changed.

Billy Graham became an evangelist in the 1940s. He proclaimed: "All are sinners and stand under the judgment of God ... Christ came to make forgiveness and salvation possible. What did He do? He died on the cross as the complete sacrifice for our sins. He took upon Himself the judgment that we deserve ... But like any gift, it becomes ours only when we take it ... I may say that I believe a bridge will hold my weight. But I really believe it only when I commit myself to it and walk across it. Saving faith involves an act of commitment and trust, in which I commit my life to Jesus Christ and trust Him alone as my Savior and Lord." He added: "Yes, it costs to follow Christ. But it also costs not to follow Christ."

We need a spiritual awakening....our millennials don’t know the Good News of Jesus Christ or have rejected the good news. Satan has taken this generation captive and we need to call upon the power of God Like NEVER before to. Rise up and fight this spiritual battle.

I lost a lot of respect for Billy Graham when he said that Hillary would make a good president and Bill would make a good USSC justice. I never trusted him after that. His son Franklyn is a good man who almost always stands against evil.

That was in 1996. What would he think now?
