>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
>>
>> Billy Graham was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, to hard working
>> Presbyterian parents. When he was a teenager some Christian businessmen
>> held a prayer meeting in his father's pasture. When somebody asked, "Who
>> are those men making all that noise?" Billy replied, "Fanatics who talked
>> Daddy into using the place." That day businessman Vermon Patterson asked
>> God to raise up somebody from Charlotte to "preach the gospel to the ends
>> of the earth." Billy just didn't know he'd be the one! Later, evangelist
>> Mordecal Ham came to town for an evangelistic crusade, and although Billy
>> vowed not to attend he ended up going and giving his life to Christ. A
>> few years later Paul's words captured Billy's heart. "The most important
>> thing is...lto tell people...about God's grace." Billy Graham has
>> addressed more people than anyone else in history. He's been welcomed
>> behind the former Iron Curtain, in China, North Korea, and on every
>> continent. Yet he says, "The first thing I'm gonna do when
>> I get to heaven is ask, 'Why me, Lord? Why'd you choose a farm boy from
>> North Carolina to preach to so many people?" Billy Graham's life proves
>> that in God's eyes the greatest ability is-availability. Paul writes:
>> "The kindness of God has been poured out upon us...and now he is sending
>> us...to tell...people everywhere the great things. God has done...so that
>> they, too, will believe." ( Ro 1:5 TLB ). And God has also called you "to
>> tell...sot that they, too, will believe." Don't worry about closing the
>> deal; they'll come when God draws them. Just tell them the story-and let
>> God do the rest.
