Billy Graham Billy Graham was born November 7, 1918. A Baptist preacher who went around the world telling about Jesuss love! Do you know who Billy Graham is? Do you have childhood memories of any of his crusades? Does the name George Beverly Shea mean anything to you? These two took Jesus to billions ( that is with a capital B) to people around the world , invited millions to know and live for Jesus. Billy advised more American presidents than any other spiritual leader. Was a friend to Martin Luther king in the 60s. Billy Graham made Gallups list of Most Admired 55 times, 49 consecutive years. More than any one else! As I remember his message was simple. The bible is Gods word. We all sin. Jesus died to offer forgiveness for our sin. Jesus lives today and wants to have a relationship with us. He would ask people to Come Down and talk with a counselor and to ask Jesus into your heart. As people began to move George Beverly Shea would sing Just As I Am. I do not remember any headlines about his immoral life or financial problems inside his ministry. When I hear the name Billy Graham I think what a wonderful man of God he is! This is the hero we are all looking for today. Someone with a simple message whose reputation has not been tarnished by worldly desires. Someone we can model our lives after. Someone who offered advice to the most powerful. Someone who accepted the unacceptable. Someone who did not compromise their beliefs. Was he or is he perfect? No, he is a sinner just like you and me, but he has a simple message we all need to hear. Do you need to hear his simple message today about Jesuss love for you? Do you know Jesus died so you can live? Do you need to give Jesus the problems you are dealing with and TRUST Jesus for the outcome? Just as I am--without one plea, But that Thy blood was shed for me, And that Thou bidst me come to Thee, --- O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Come to Jesus today, and live for tomorrow! Ken Box May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people. (Revelation 22:21 NLT)
