Graham Cracks

So, I had misjudged Billy Graham when I first heard about what he did.  I thought as an evangelist he was extremely unsuccessful and I thought he used his gifts poorly.  I could not have been more wrong.  He was a visionary far beyond his time.  He was extremely wise and filled with the spirit.  He was a leader who was willing to look at what God was really asking of him, and he did not fault away from that.  He was dedicated to seeing God move even when it was less than comfortable and everything else. He went places that many people told him he shouldn't go, but he did because he felt God calling him to do so.  He was always in tune with what God was saying and he was a very spirit filled man.  It is amazing to me how he took care to make sure he was accountable, surrounding himself with good people, and how he took God at his word.  He spent lots of time preparing and he started the battle of unifying the church.  What a great man who really changed the course of church history.  I want to be like Billy.
