Rev. Billy Graham
by louis gander It seems like only yesterday when I was sitting there - with black and white TV turned on - where one man came to share... Connected, were the speakers (to a single microphone) - that echoed over massive crowds as seeds of truth were sown. The seeds from God's own Holy Word were falling on the ears - of ev'ry soul attending there throughout those many years. The overcrowded stadiums held people, young and old, who listened quite intently to the words that they were told... ...so everyone could know the Christ that He was speaking of. His sermons were straight-forward, bold and unabashed with love. He loved the Christ who lived to help the poor, the sick, the weak - who died to save us from our sins - then rose for those who seek. Familiar, that distinguished voice that boldly spoke the truth. Familiar was that humble man who loved the aged and youth. And as the alter call was sang through tears, "Just As I Am" - repentant souls in thousands came to be with Billy Graham. My eyes still well with many tears as I look back and see - a man who loved as Jesus did through black and white TV. It seems like only yesterday when I was sitting there - with black and white TV turned on - where one man came to share... --- Thank you Rev.
