Thank you Lord, For this Gift of Love and a very special man.

Thank you Lord for sending this wonderful man our way.

The Patriarch of America is gone from us.

Our loss. Heaven’s gain

May the angels sing him home

My Memories of Dr. Billy Graham:

He is with George B. Shea again. Rev. Graham will be missed. I read this on FB earlier and underneath the article about him was one of Soros. I found it very interesting the contrast between the two. RIP, Rev. Graham.

His association with presidents is not important. Titling the article “ ... Pastor to Presidents” is an insult.

So many great sermons, so little time.

Not to mention his beloved Ruth!

[Polyxene]

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the soul of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Amen.

Billy liked Hillary. He thought she would make a great president. I am not saying that he was not a great man, but sometimes religious figures are two timid to make a stand on right and wrong. Luckily his son Franklin takes a stand all the time.

I have really come to admire Franklin. He seems to be on the right side of just about everything.

I remember when Billy Graham spoke in Cliff Hare stadium in Auburn. It was very special. I remember hearing him speak at Explo ‘72 in Dallas. My husband, Mike, prayed to receive Christ one day when hearing Pastor Graham speak on the television. “Well done, Thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord.”

Billy Graham, I am sure, had a part in my coming to saving faith in Jesus Christ. I was born and raised a Catholic but remember watching his crusades on TV in my Southern Baptist grandparents’ house. He planted the seed, many watered, and God gave the increase. A godly man that is sitting at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ with his beloved wife Ruth and hearing, “Well done my good and faithful servant, enter into your eternal reward.”.

A lot of evangelicals despised Graham because he didn’t put down the Catholic Church and he had great relationships with a few popes, especially JP2.

Well done - Reverend Billy Graham - good and faithful servant. Well Done.

LOL....”A lot” ....I am sure there were some...as in a few....

Where do find such bovine dropping?

And John answering said, “Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we were forbidding him, because he does not follow with us.” And Jesus said to him, “Do not forbid it; for whoever is not against us is for us.” (Luke 9:49,50)

My comments about Graham in the other thread:

Graham as the prototypical Christian evangelist

Pros and cons about that, and especially his contribution in the 50s and 60s -- as a white Southerner -- applying the Golden Rule to race relations.
