    I met my wife and received my first exposure to the gospel at a Billy Graham Crusade event September 1992. Pretty big deal for me.

    He was a heck of a big deal when my grandmother took me with her to see him.
    He was on many people's mind then.

    Tbh he turned too pentecostal in the later years. I hope he was saved but lots of biblical evidence to say he was deceived and therefore wasn't.

    I didn't mean we needed him gone. I just meant if he went to heaven God made him wait. Just for clarification.

    Like holding a dog treat just out of reach.

    Billy Graham was a good man. I genuinely believe their was hope in his sermons. Unlike most televangelist, He seemed to be trying to teach, instead of condemn. I admire him for that. Blessings.

    If you ever doubt that one man can make a difference, look no further than Mr Graham. Rest in Gods peace.

    He taught that it was the person that God judged and not the color of their skin. God Bless him.
