My friend Billy Graham preached in person to more than 210 million people in 185 countries. If you add in television, radio, film, newspapers, magazines, and other media, the numbers go into the stratosphere — into the billions, but we can only guess at how many billion. Most remarkably, over three million people responded to Billy’s invitation to receive Christ as personal Savior. In addition to his achievements as a minister, Billy led an exemplary life.
The truth is that, if you are strong enough, you can get your enemies to recognize your right to exist. David Ben Gurion once said, “The fate of Israel depends on two things. Its strength and its righteousness.”
