Re: Billy Graham - Tribute to Faithful Gift in the Body
Amen Brother awareness.
Though I eventually came to the Lord in my teens through the Jesus movement, part of the "Late Great Planet Earth" gathering , in my youth I remember watching and hearing Billy Graham speak on the telly. Being just a kid, I did not fully understand what he was saying yet hearing his voice captivated me, not just because of his eloquence, but rather I felt this man was speaking something weighty and important. My parents, dyed in the wool Baptists as they say, would watch the crusades on the telly and I remember being asked one time what I thought and if I wanted to become a christian. I didn't at the time but believe that the Lord used those crusades and this brother, this gift, to sow some seeds in my heart. After I became a born again christian I was delighted to watch the crusades and touched with the many people who went down to the receive the Lord.
Truly, he was a gift to the Body, an Evangelist, according to the scriptural definition in Ephesians. No doubt, throngs of believers brought to the Lord by his ministry will greet him as he enters his reward.
