One might wonder if he remained unchanged or became corrupt. Was it possible for someone to simply sit and talk with him, or was it like the others where access was impossible? I don't buy into the idea that they must be shielded; they're meant to sacrifice for every lost soul, regardless of the risk. Indeed, my preacher was prominent, but he always drove a modest old Chevy pickup, owned a paid-off house, and had a wonderful family who would invite any church member over, sometimes necessitating a backyard barbecue due to the numbers. He has passed away now, having preached into his eighties, leaving behind a small yet memorable legacy, having saved many. The new preacher isn't quite the same, and the old feelings are fading, which is sad to see. But at least I have those memories of what once was, and perhaps one day, I'll have the courage to start my own successful church-not for the glory of men, but for God. Now don't get me wrong God did bless those who serve him and a preacher should be able to enjoy those blessings but not in a way that seems worldly only the necessities of how to perform the duty but as for Billy Graham he stated he would never support any pastor who flew or owned a private jet in other research I did while writing this he seemed to travel by regular public plane boats and automobile h also stated that his reasoning was the money to maintain a private jet could easily fund building more churches and anyone more interested check out the BILLY GRAHAM EXAMPLE! As for his stare most people believe that it was supposed to be viewed as the bold Christian appearance that even while facing a large group of people it was to show that all Christians should have no fear except to GOD. Moreover, if it weren't for his stern, no-nonsense look, many would say he lacks confidence in what he's discussing, leading them to doubt his words even more. hope my comment helps someone out because this has been a lot of typing!

HECK YEAH!!!!!!! WE DID IT A LONG EXPLAINING COMMENTHOPE IT HELPPS SOMEONE! COFFEE TIME BABY!

It seems there might be an update causing my computer to lag. Additionally, Billy Graham set a remarkable example of humility, unlike others who live in mansions and own private jets (cough john hagee or franklin graham cough). Whether he was genuinely modest or simply discreet, his legacy endures beyond his passing.no one now knows for sure though, but I would like to believe that he followed his principles to the very end he did seem sincere enough and now that he has passed on, I do hope and pray he made it to heaven above. REsearch Everyone and reply here of what you find out about your preachers I am curious now!

@@AlwaysWatchingKZfaq Mr Graham also brought a lot of false hope, even to Christian children. He was once quoted as saying "It is very rare that I ever have to pay for my plane tickets (some wealthy person(s) paid for them. To quote from the Bible (if it's an accurate statement), Jesus said: "I know my sheep and they know me." That means His sheep knew Him before creation. Therefore Billy Graham can take zero credit for getting people saved and that goes for others too. Graham was always hot headed and never lacked confidence in anything. The one thing he absolutely craved was open access to the White House and he usually had it. JFK and Jimmy Carter halted it. All other Presidents allowed it. Little doubt that when JFK was killed Billy was very happy. He and Lydon Johnson were very close buddies. Even Billy Graham admitted (look it up) that he and President Johnson sometimes skinny dipped together in the White House pool that JFK had put in. Through his corporate BGEA, Billy contrrolled noumerous churches and denominations. This also means he controlled the minds of unsuspecting believers. His own creation (with help from others) Christianity Today Magazine further solidified his control over minds and churches. The Billy Graham Example was to love Hollywood and D.C. and even the world. But us little Christians are never to have opinions. We are to look at lies and falsehoods and never question them, never to say a word.
