Billy Graham

Christianity Today has reported that, although Graham’s funeral was hailed as his “last crusade,” his evangelism did not end when he took his last breath.

SiriusXM radio will be airing the messages of the Rev. Billy Graham this Easter season.

If we want our lives to impact our culture, we must make Billy Graham’s greatest fear ours as well.

I was out of the country when Billy Graham died, so I did not get to tell you my thoughts about this amazing man of God. But if I keep silent, the stones may cry out.

Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a national holiday to honor the Rev. Billy Graham.

Jared Laskey, the pastor of Destiny Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia, attended the ceremony in the US Capitol Rotunda last Wednesday in honor of the Rev. Billy Graham. While there, Laskey says he received a vision from the Lord.

The Rev. Billy Graham’s funeral was held today, March 2nd in Charlotte, North Carolina. As ChristianHeadlines.com previously reported, about 2,000 people were in attendance, including President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

The funeral took place in front of the Billy Graham Library in a massive 28,000-square-foot white tent, which was a throwback to Graham’s famous crusade in Los Angeles in 1949, which many believe solidified his status as a renowned evangelist.

Graham had been clear that he wanted his funeral service to reflect the message of the gospel which he spent his life preaching. Even his headstone will have the simple yet fitting phrase: “Preacher of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.”

To that end, he specifically chose six hymns that beautifully communicate the gospel message which he wanted people to sing at his funeral. ChristianityToday.com listed the six songs Graham chose:

During the civil rights movement, Billy Graham said he was a preacher, not a prophet. And while he is remembered for speaking out against racism and segregation during his later revivals, some scholars argue that he gave white evangelicals a safe alternative to civil rights engagement.

In the wake of Billy Graham’s death, several major media outlets ran columns suggesting that the evangelist was the “last nonpartisan evangelical,” comparing him favorably with his decidedly partisan son Franklin.

Beloved evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham will be laid to rest today, March 2nd. His funeral service is being held in Charlotte at the Billy Graham Library.
