"Have we lost our hunger?"
Tonight as I watch the tributes to Billy Graham, he was quoted as asking that very question. Over my fifty years, I feel like I have seen the demoralization of the country that I grew up thinking was a Christian Nation.
On reflection, Billy Graham was not only a pastor, but his leadership demonstrated servant-hood. As the scripture in Romans reads "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel". He used every platform he had to make Christ Jesus famous. He enjoyed a 60 year love affair with his childhood sweetheart.
I appreciate how his son Franklin continues his father's legacy and his grandson Johnathan speaks to churches and groups about how Christ has impacted his life.
Now, as the family prepares his life dedication services, I believe his question for you who read this is "what will you do with Jesus Christ?" As Kathy Lee Gifford said this morning on NBC, we all have a malignancy of the soul, and there's only one way to rid yourself of this cancer. It's Jesus Christ. What will you do with him?
