Billy Graham - Rest In Peace!

Billy Graham: 10 Fascinating Facts About America's Pastor - christianpost.com

Excerpt from this article:

"Evangelist Billy Graham, 'America's Pastor,' Died Wednesday at hia home in Montreat, North Carolina, at the age of 99, leaving behind a legacy of humility, faith and service. The spiritual counselor to a number of presidents, including Lyndon Johnson, George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Graham is credited with bringing more than 3 million people to Christiananity."

After spending his long life telling others about our Lord Jesus, Billy Graham finally gets to meet his Savior face to face. And I think Billy saw a smile on Jesus face today!

Not everyone agrees. Pastor Jason Cooley thinks he met an angry Jesus (See: Billy Graham Dead-Jesuit CoAdjutor in Hell). But I think Billy is home now - in heaven - and he is with his Savior that he has served for the greater part of 99 years!

I have never met Billy Graham, but I did go to one of his crusades back in the later 1970s - at the Kingdome in Seattle! (Don't remember the Kingdome? Watch this!).

It is interesting that Billy Graham passed away just 2 months and 7 days after the beloved R. C. Sproul went home to be with his Lord (See my post: A Tribute to R. C. Sproul - Sproul's Prophetic Word to the Church)

I think if Billy Graham and R. C. Sproul could could preach one more sermon to the world in 2018, it would sound something like this:

When Government Tries to Be God, by Dr. David P. Murray

The text for this sermon is Acts 4:19 & 20 (Audio):

"But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard."
