What an honor to have been able to listen this man preach the gospel on TV and radio. He will never be forgotten! I will be praying for all of his family! May God comfort you and give you peace as only He can! God Bless You All!
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. May the work Rev. Graham has done speak for him.
What a great man of God. I am so thankful for his devotion to his calling and his never-ending efforts to lead the lost to Christ. His life was a wonderful example to everyone of a life lived for Christ. Condolences to his family. He is now receiving his rewards, and I’m sure hearing those blessed words, “Well done, good and faithful servant”.
Reverend Graham was salt and light as I remember all my life which started in the fifties. I pray the foundation he laid be forever
build upon. AMEN
Oh what a great man. My entire family has always loved and respected this man. I know heaven must be rejoicing the homecoming of this man.
I will always remember being a little girl at my grandmother’s and watching Mr Graham in the 1960’s, a time when families sat in front of the tv as a family and listened quietely to what he had to say. As a child him getting a little loud sometime and excited was a little scary but looking back, the words he spoke were powerful and should have been expressed just as he did. The world needs more leaders like Mr Graham. My grandmother was born the same year as Mr Graham and died just shy of her 98th birthday but I know she is worshiping with Mr Graham in heaven now and I can just see her smiling. Thank you Mr Graham for the powerful words you spoke over the years and I know our savior is saying job well done my faithful servant.
It is such a great loss to this world when Dr. Graham changed his address today. However, I rejoice that he is now in the presence of our Holy God. We will never have another man of God on this earth to spread the Holy Word of God with such conviction, power, and truth. Even though I never had the privilege to meet Dr. Graham or to attend a crusade; He touched my life profoundly. I have watched countless sermons and have been touched each time, to strive to become closer to God. We have truly lost such a great man of God. A man who fearlessly proclaimed the truth without reservation. My sincerest gratitude to Dr. Graham for his contribution to my life & to the world.
