Eyes on “The Cross” – Nov. 7th

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

~ 2 Timothy 4:7 ~

 

Tomorrow night, Billy Graham will be making what will most likely be his last television appearance. At 95 years of age (actually Nov. 7th is his 95th birthday!) he has certainly “fought the good fight” – for decades now.
 

Here’s Graham’s message about “The Cross” ~

I’ve recently prepared what may well be my last message to our nation. I have prayed a great deal about this. The program is called The Cross, and you can see it on television beginning Thursday.
 
I hope you won’t watch the program alone. It’s intended to be watched with someone you know—a loved one, friend, or co-worker—who needs Jesus Christ
 
 
With all my heart, I want to remind Americans of God’s amazing love and, as simply and clearly as I can, call people to “a repentance that leads to salvation” (2 Cor. 7:10, ESV). The program shows moving stories of real individuals, young Americans, whose lives have been completely transformed by the power of the gospel. Woven around those stories is a message I believe God has given me for people in our nation today.

 
And if , since our founding, there was ever a time when America needed to reach out to the Lord for guidance and help – it’s certainly now.
 

Each of us can find ways to help specific people we know encounter the Gospel. Thousands of believers across the nation, in every state, are taking the opportunity to do just that through the My Hope America outreach during November. I trust you are among them. If you can’t watch the first broadcast on Thursday, it will be repeated in the days that follow on various channels. Check here for national and local TV listings.
 
Will you pray with me today for this outreach and for the people of America who need Christ, including individuals you know? Pray also for the more than 23,000 churches across the nation who are participating. And remember to pray for those who respond to the gospel, that they will grow strong in their faith.

 
Hope you’ll be watching! :)
(I think it’s on Fox News at 10:00 pm – during Greta Van Susteren’s usual time slot)
