Billy Graham preached the power of the cross around the world. Millions have been born again through his ministry. Recently a Library is gifted in his honor. And they have salvation material available there. And also the history of Billy Graham.

I had prayed that God bless Billy above his expectations. This was a humbling thing for Billy to receive this honor. But I praise God for it. Billy Graham was faithful to preach Jesus and the sacrifice Jesus did for us because God loves us sooo much.

Billy Graham: The farm boy from North Carolina,came on the scene in 1948 Msg Repent,
He has been with Kings-Presidents -The Low and the High Brow same Msg.Lives in a modest Home
on side of mountain in Carolina; I will always remember those Piercing Eyes and the Zeal He had, His steps are slow now He is in the Winter of Life about 87 yrs old,buried His Wife about 2 months ago,Her Name Ruth,(Billy )One of a few,that never wore the Flashly clothes or Diamonds a Humble Servent of God is Billy Graham ; His Msg always the same Repent,never got old ,Everytime it touched my Heart;I believe He has requested a plain Pine Box when His time is over; I always believed the Rapture would come before He Died, Maybe so Maybe not; Someone is always saying Good by;

Actually Billy Graham went to exhaustive extremes to prevent such a thing from happening. He had his associates check out every hotel room he ever stayed in, before he himself would enter. He knew there were those who would try to discredit him and he took no chances. Billy Graham preached Gods Word to the world and did this without blemish. He still does today. His son Franklin Graham will take his place and continue the work God called the both of them to do. God bless Ruth Graham who is now with the Lord.
Billy Graham Evangelic Association (BGEA) has many humanitarian and spiritual outreaches. The "Decision" magazine published by Billy Graham Evangelical Association is a Spirit filled publication that I recommend highly. You should Google his name and read about the wonderful things this man has done and the sacrifices he has made in the name of Christ Jesus. I went to one of his crusades in Minneapolis, years ago, since that time I have continued my love and support for his ministries. What a beautiful legacy he will leave to this world when he goes home to his Savior. God Bless You...Peace

Answer 4

I am not a follower of his religion, but I've always kinda thought that he was a nice man. As far as (tel)evangelical preachers go, he seemed honest in his attempts to keep his own ministry free from the corruption and money-hunger of other big churches. In fact, I think he had a sort of "contract" with his leaders about that very thing.

I have been personally disappointed in some of his political statements that he himself turned around and apologized for. I admired his ability to offer sincere regret when he realized that his words were hurtful or un-Christian.

You are mistaken about him being caught with his trousers down. He was never involved in a scandal like that that I can remember. Though again- I have never followed him or his news very closely.

So, to answer your question: my own personal feeling about Rev. Graham is that he seemed like a good and humble man who did his best to lead his congregation during a difficult half-century. I am not a religious person, so I cannot speak to his ministry, but in a time when televangelists came out of the woodwork to prey on their faithful followers, he seemed like an honest fellow.

Answer 5

Billy Graham as a christian man can be admired. He loved people and wanted them to know God. He is very gentle and soft spoken. If you were to ask me who I think is a wonderful christian person for today I would say Billy Graham. He was respected by many presidents and they would ask him also to pray for them. He spent most of his life as an evangelist. I loved his messages because he made the gospel easy to understand. Who you are speaking about is above is Jimmy Swaggert. He has repented and preaching. (Those without sin cast the first stone). Anyway, take the time to look him up, he has an interesting life.

Answer 6

Jimmie Swagart was the one caught with his pants down.
But they are all TV evangelists who get fabulously wealthy off the public sending them money. They do very little good with the money except invest it in their own private things.
They make colleges that are not free, but more expensive than a regular college because as they say we allow prayer.
Medical centers and hospitals which are not free. So it looks respectable but it is more a business venture than a donation.
They have multiple mansions and fleets of jets and limoscenes. They are all on the Forbes 400 list of richest men in America.
They get rich by not saying anything that would upset someone. But if you send me money God will make you rich.
People believe it and send money is hopes that God will make them rich. The only one who gets rich is the TV evangelist.

Answer 7

Billy Graham did not get caught with his trousers down. Before you make a statement like that you should know what you are talking about.

Answer 8

He is not dead, he's alive but very old. He is an evangelistic preacher. To my knowledge, he never had any scandals in his life.

You do have evangicals in England. Just put it into Google and check it out.

Answer 9

Why would you need Billy Graham, when YOU have the Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain as church leader?

Answer 10

I don't believe you for a minute. Graham has had conventions in Britain and all over the world. I think he was even knighted by your queen.(not sure).
My opinion is he's the greatest preacher produced in my life time. And I've lived awhile.
My opinion further is that you are a troll.
