Generally I can't stand to be around bible thumpers.

But I always enjoyed listening to him.

My father turned his life around and asked Jesus to save him in 1975 while sitting alone in his apartment and flipping on the TV to see a Billy Graham Crusade. He decided to call and speak to someone....his life was in shambles. Mom had just left him that evening with my sister.

Changed his life, got my mom back after his character change, drinking stopped, and became a real husband. They only had my sister at that point but I came later because they mended their relationship based specifically off that night.

I owe my actual existence to God, but I’m here because of Billy Graham.

Isn't he one of the few that consciously did not get rich from his evangelizing?  Gotta respect that.

My grandfather and grandmother (who aren't with us anymore) used to volunteer at his revivals. I'm not that religious but we'll miss him.

In man's calculations we start counting a persons days from  birth till death... Billy was 99 yrs old.
But from God's perspective there is a count down he has already numbered our days so for God our earthly lives are on a timer counting down.
Bell goes off ...ding....and we're done so to speak.
Onto the judgement and eternity for better or worse.

I became a Christian in 1981 when Billy was in San Jose, CA.

Enjoy your rest Billy, you've earned it.

I remember listing to his crusades in my younger years.

I’ll add that the Billy Graham resource trailer remained in White Sulphur Springs area long after the others had left after the 2016 flood.

RIP.

I guess I will go against the tide here.

Mr. Graham seems like a fine man.  My parents went to his early Crusades in Southern Cal.

BG, however, offered an ecumenical, watered down version of the "Gospel".

Glenn Beck this morning related a personal story of a meeting he had with BG in which BG
called Beck a "Christian".   Now I have no interest in getting into a Mormon bashing thread,
This thread is to honor a good man.

BUT, in terms of a sound, Trinity driven Gospel message, it is simply wrong for BG to recognize
Beck as a "Christian".

BG's message for decades has been a mushy "can't we all just get along" form of ecumenicalism
that runs rampant in so many churches today.

RIP Mr Graham.  You seemed like a fine man.

And nope, I'm not even going to respond to the haters that will bash me.  This is an RIP thread.
Please keep it that way.

Really? I'm pretty sure Mr. Graham preached that all mankind was separated from God due to sin and that Jesus was the only way to have a relationship with God. What did I miss?

From all accounts, he truly was.  Basically a modern-era Paul without the years spent in various prisons.

A life spent in service like his, would be a blessing.
