God takes our salvation and relationship with Him seriously. We know that God loves us because He sent His Son to live and die for us. We miss God’s goal for our lives (aka sin) big time. We need Jesus.
Jesus set the standard for us. Check out Matthew 5 – 7 for a glimpse of how high the bar is set. It is traditionally called the Sermon on the Mount. I see it as the Jesus Manifesto for a radical new way of living.
It is only through Jesus and His redemption that we can live a holy and sanctified life.
Billy Graham gets it right!
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’ ~Billy Graham
Jesus Quotes and God Thoughts 
Thanks, Michael. Billy Graham did much good for the cause of the Gospel, but he also regrettably mixed error with truth.

Thanks for the insight. I’m going to go with the millions lives brought to salvation and his standing as an evangelist. I’ll trust God has dealt with the rest of your observations since he has now passed on.
Blessings.

Thanks, Michael. Yes, I’m grateful for the many souls who were saved via Graham’s ministry, however, I also think we can learn from the man’s errors. The Old Testament is full of stories of believers who were faithful in many respects, but who also took wrong turns that had serious consequences. Sorry, not looking for a debate with you. Blessings to you as well!
