OT: RIP Billy Graham

[HooahVol]

Hopefully it is not terribly inappropriate to go off topic on this forum but I do feel a great man died today and would just like to take the time to honor him in death. Hopefully this thread does not get too political, I know his son has said some controversial political claims lately, but Billy always found a way to transcend politics I think by focusing on just the Gospel and nothing else. Hopefully by remembering him today many can realize the power of the Gospel when you leave politics out of it all.

Gotta say...




















Thought he was dead already? :hmm:

Definitely great man of God and an icon of my youth...which is in my rear view window. RIP

He really used to make me mad when I was a kid.
Always interrupting Happy Days with his crusades and whatnot.

Really an icon of our time, whether you like him or not. It’s always sad to see anyone pass, regardless of fame or lack there of. RIP.

Really the only "television Preacher" that wasn't in it for the $$. We watched him during his specials when I was a kid. Like listening to him.

Talk to the big man for us Dr. Graham, we sure can use it.

Yet a search claims he was worth millions. Man's gotta eat I guess

Great man of God. Now he's seeing the King of Kings face to face.

"Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.
- Billy Graham

Nice message from the former POTUS Barack Obama:

"Billy Graham was a humble servant who prayed for so many - and who, with wisdom and grace, gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans."

While I didn't agree with much of what he said, I can respect any humble servant who dedicates their life to something they feel so strongly about. RIP.

Now it's a crime to have money. Everything you read mentions him living a modest life. He didn't flaunt, buy helicopters, multi-million dollar mansions. His ministry plays a huge role in the local music channels available to us as well. RIP Billy Graham.
