Graham, one of "the most admired men in the world," according to polls, held over 400 "Christian crusades," or evangelistic campaigns, between 1947 and 2005.
His influence was vast. He preached to an estimated 250 million people and offered spiritual guidance to several U.S. presidents.

RIP to this spiritual warrior.
Having gone to one of Rev. Graham’s rally’s years ago I knew he was the real deal.
America, and the world, grows darker.
Nice story. Its amazing how great people can make a deep impression, even with a brief meeting.
Indeed he’s not.
He’s alive in Christ and basking in the Lord’s glory.
I can’t even imagine his reward. Probably a trillionaire if we can wrap our little feeble minds around the extent of God’s riches.
The Patriarch of America is gone from us.
The left is celebrating his passing. Of course.
“Well done, thou good and faithful servant!”
RIP.
PING!
Might be millions, praise the Lord.
Sad he is gone from us, but content to know he has been promoted to the home office.
V.P. Pence made a couple of wonderful remarks on Twitter about Graham, and immediately somebody replied that it was too bad he didn’t care for kids (re: gun control) like he did for Graham. Somebody else claiming to be Jesus Christ (a blasphemy, for sure) urged us to rejoice since Graham is burning in Hell, according to this idiot.
It seems strange for him to be gone from this world. It was as though he was a fixture in this nation, and his passing will be noticed and he shall be greatly missed. Farewell, reverend.
Ditto that.
Indeed, the left has no scruples about the most debased blaspheme.
When I was in the hospital a couple of years ago, I Googled Billy Grahams 1947 Los Angeles revival. The conversion of Stuart Hamblen fascinated me. It was cool to see where Hamblen got the idea for his hymn, “It is no secret what God can do.” Wheaton college has a page of that revival with details of every night there.
Look what the democrat under-achiever crowd thinks:

Billy Graham never took more than $100,000 salary. He could have taken $1 million.
i was “saved” at the billy graham crusade at soldier field in chicago in 1962
Why am I not surprised. It’s the party that boo’ed G*d three times at the 2012 convention. It’s the party that chanted “Hail, Satan” at pro lifers. It’s the party that now wants anyone who has not drunk to Koolaid in the camps or dead. Canaanites sacrificing babies to Moloch.
Weve lost the greatest evangelist of the 20th century. A must see film of this Christian man is Billy, The Early Years. Without doubt God will rest his soul.
What an amazing man! I’m sure he’s sitting down having a lovely chat with Our Lord and Savior right now!
