What is Truth? – Evangelist Billy GrahamIn this sermon, it was said that the truth is found in God’s word.Jesus is the truth: Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”Listen and be blessed.

In 1896 Billy Sunday began to lead revivals and in 1908, the Federal Council of Churches was formed. In 1910, The Fundamentals begin to be published and in 1912, the Social Creed of the Churches adoptedEvangelist Billy Graham was born near Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1918, Billy Graham first attended Bob Jones College, but he found both the climate and Dr Bob’s strict rule intolerable.He then followed a friend to Florida Bible Institute, where he began preaching and changed his denominational affiliation from Associate Reformed Presbyterian to Southern Baptist.To round out his intensive but academically narrow education, he moved north to Wheaton College, where he met and married Ruth Bell, the daughter of a medical missionary, and undertook his first and only stint as a local pastor.In 1945 Graham became the field representative of a dynamic evangelistic movement known as Youth for Christ International.In this role, he toured the United States and much of Great Britain and Europe, teaching local church leaders how to organize youth rallies.He also forged friendships with scores of Christian leaders who would later join his organization or provide critical assistance to his crusades when he visited their cities throughout the world.Billy Graham preached the gospel of Christ in person to over 80 million people and countless millions more over the airwaves and in films. Nearly 3 million have responded to the invitation he offers at the end of his sermons. When America needs a chaplain or pastor to help inaugurate or bury a president or to bring comfort in times of tragedy, it turns, more often than not, to him.For virtually every year since the 1950s, he has been a fixture on lists of the ten most admired people in America or the world. Thus, it is hardly surprising that a Ladies Home Journal survey once ranked the famed evangelist second only to God in the category “achievements in religion”.ALSO READ New Billy Graham Archive & Research Centre Opens
