Thoughts About The Billy Graham Special

I watched a Billy Graham special last night.  It was well done but, essentially, it featured a 95 year old man giving a basic presentation of the Christian gospel.

As the show unfolded I prayed that somehow this simple—not very flashy—program would be empowered by the Holy Spirit and that many people who were watching would be moved.  I prayed that eyes would be opened to the truth of Jesus and that hearts would turn toward Him.

Could that happen?  Could lots of people actually come to Christ from something this simple?

Yes.  There is surprising power in the truth of the message of Jesus, and who He is, and what He has done.  There were people watching that program last night who were ready.  They were hungry to hear that message.  And, once again, God used his long-time faithful servant.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes…”  Romans 1:16
