Billy Graham's life- what to learn and gain.

Today, I will be discussing what we can learn and gain in our life from Billy Graham.  I will be looking at a few important concepts that he implemented in his life that are important for us as believers in Christ.  I will be detailing how and why these are important for us to live out on a weekly basis in order to grow as Christ followers and keep us centered on Christ.  The main two concepts I will be discussing are Billy Graham's integrity/humbleness, dedication to prayer, and his passion to preach the gospel wherever he went.  It is important that we implement these two concepts in our lives on a daily basis.
First, Billy Graham came from a humble beginning.  He was a simple farm boy from North Carolina.  After he preached, he always deflected the praise to God alone.  Also, I remember hearing stories of how he kept himself pure in his integrity.  He was always above reproach in everything he did.
Second, concept was his dedication to prayer and a his daily walk with God.  I heard a story that he always ended the day and began the day with prayer.  He put his walk with God before anything else in his life.  Another story was that ordered the TV out of his room before he would preach and do revival so he could spend time with the Father in prayer.  He considered prayer and his time with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ of upmost importance in his life. 
Lastly, it is important to remember to share the gospel.  Billy Graham just preached the simple message of God's love for us.  All he preached was that God sent his Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for our sins and rose again from the grave.  If we believe in him, we will have eternal life and a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Billy Graham wanted to be remembered that he lived his life for his Savior Jesus Christ alone and was faithful in serving God all of the days of his life.
