Billy Graham, America’s Pastor
February 21, 2018 by John Potter

Billy Graham, America’s pastor, died today. He became an ordained minister at the age of 21 in 1939. Across his career, Dr. Graham preached at racially integrated churches in the 1950s and 1960s. He took bold stands for truth and justice. He delivered countless crusades in stadiums across the world to share the message of Jesus Christ.
Billy Graham avoided sexual and financial scandals that ended the ministry of many pastors and televangelists. It is said that he spoke to over 200 million people across the span of his 99 years on earth.
A favorite quote shares that, “It is God’s job to judge, the Spirit’s job to convict, and our job to love.”
May we all strive toward the finish line and be faithful stewards of Christ like the late Dr. Billy Graham.
