“The end will come with the return of Jesus Christ…That is why a Christian can be an optimist. That is why a Christian can smile in the midst of all that is happening…We know what the end will be: the triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ.“
-Billy Graham

Would it be right to say as the apostle Paul was called to minister the gospel to the Gentiles, Billy Graham was called to minister the gospel to the nations? They both preached the same message unashamedly—the cross of Christ.

Yes, I think that would be a very true statement.

I actually heard a message yesterday, by Dr. David Jeremiah that began with a comparison of Billy Graham to Paul. I was so surprised-I guess it wasn’t an original thought!

If you just heard it from him yesterday, then it was an original thought for both of you. 🙂 I have never heard the comparison before but it certainly seems true.

I do believe the Spirit bore witness to it. The question now is who is God’s voice to the nations now? Each one where we stand? Maybe our many voices will sound as one-if we speak.

It seems to me that the age of one person to the many may be over. I believe it does now fall to each one where we stand. As it was always intended to be.

Nice!! I never met him but I went to one of his crusades. I also lived in Temple Terrace, Florida where he lived and was called to ministry. It was a small town when I lived there so it was probably even smaller when he was there.

YES and “AMEN.”
WHATEVER the sequence of events in the run-up to the 2nd Advent of Christ, and no matter WHAT hardships/sufferings any believer must go through (Jesus said “These things MUST happen”) the ‘bottom line’ remains the same i.e. He WILL Return, because He said He would, and He was/is NOT a “man who can lie” PLUS the 300 or so prophecies concerning His Return, of which i believe more that 85-90% have already been fulfilled.
Maranatha Lord Jesus Christ = Come quickly/soon Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah to the Lamb of God
