Legendary evangelist
Billy Graham is now in his nineties, in failing health, and in need of round-the-clock professional care. But, by the looks of his
Christianity Today interview, his mind is as sharp as ever, and his passion for Christ and the gospel is as bright as ever:
[T]he most important issue we face today is the same the church has faced in every century: Will we reach our world for Christ? In other words, will we give priority to Christ's command to go into all the world and preach the gospel? Or will we turn increasingly inward, caught up in our own internal affairs or controversies, or simply becoming more and more comfortable with the status quo? Will we become inner-directed or outer-directed? The central issues of our time aren't economic or political or social, important as these are. The central issues of our time are moral and spiritual in nature, and our calling is to declare Christ's forgiveness and hope and transforming power to a world that does not know him or follow him. May we never forget this.
