Wow, what a wonderful tribute to Billy Graham. And many hearts will hopefully be reached as they read the Bible verses on the statue base.

Didn’t think many people here liked Billy Graham, I remember when he died there were loads of negative comments - so it’s good to know that it’s not everyone as I didn’t really understand why at the time. I thought he was universally respected. Xx

Does anyone know if Dr. Graham published a study Bible?

I don't think he did.

Dr. David Jeremiah has a study Bible.

Dr. Graham preached a simple Gospel message of salvation through Christ which a lot of people are not familiar with.

He and his staff of counselors would advise new Christians to find a good Bible teaching church in order to grow spiritually.

I was converted..through his ministry.
- 52 years ago..

Yes , that’s why I was so surprised by some of the reactions on the forum at the time xx

BIlly Grahams message was false as is now his son's message. No souls are brought to Christ through false preaching.

That wasn’t my intention when I mentioned it , I am pretty sure that the mere mention of his name on the thread was enough, like bees to honey !!!!!!

You just knew mentioning his detractors would draw them Iike flies.



God knows his faithful servant by name. Billy Graham.

Where in the bible was anyone saved by saying a silly prayer like the so-called "sinner's prayer"? Post the scriptures! That silliness is the essence of their false message.

I think the fact that he preached the Gospel may have had a bit more to do with it - The Lord can work with his truth when it’s spoken and heard xx

I worked for the Billy Graham crusade in the 90's, on staff. I witnessed amazing testimonies.

I have heard about the crusades he did over here in the U.K. back in the 60’s xx

The gospel is the good news of salvation. If you can't tell someone how to be saved in Christ you're not preaching the gospel. Or if you tell someone how to be saved falsely, giving them false hope by not telling them the truth, then that's worse yet; you're then a false teacher and doibgvthe Devil's work. This is what Billy Graham did and what his organization still does. I see Franklin Graham on TV all the time telling people to tell Jesus to enter your heart and say the silly prayer to be forgiven. THAT is false doctrine that unfortunately people believe and think their souls are saved. They're not.

God uses people to do His will. Think what Prophets did in the old Testament, they delivered God's message. Now every generation had a Leader at different times. Charles Spurgeon was the one before Billy Graham. God used Spurgeon the same way He used Billy Graham. Billy Graham was anointed by God to bring the Gospel to the world. The first Preacher ever to do that, and Graham did it in a big way like no other. Guess what, Graham was the last. Billy Graham didn't seek fame, indorsements, or salary. The Billy Graham crusade was beyond reproach for using God's money and integrity that no organization I've ever been associated with.
If God uses Jonah to speak a few words and a country can repents, He can certainly use the "silly words" to save people. The last time I checked, God is in the miracle business. Nothing is impossible with God.
