The Michael Berry Show

on this day in 1918

The greatest American Evangelist.

Billy Graham was born.

He died a hundred years later, five years ago, in 2018.

Billy Graham allowed himself to be a vessel of God.

Billy Graham had that shine.

Republicans 9. Republicans, Democrats, blacks, whites, whites, Hispanics, young, old, Christians, non-Christians, evangelicals, Catholics. Not to say he didn't have his haters because he did.

And if you don't, I question if you're doing any good or have you so watered down the mess,

especially if you are preaching the Bible.

If you are telling the story of Jesus Christ, you're going to make enemies.

First and foremost from the convicted.

If you're not making enemies, you're probably not doing what you need to do, or you're rounding the edges and

softening the doctrine of the gospel. It doesn't have to be unpleasant, but it does have to be true.

And the truth can really upset people.

Really upset people. Really upset people.

A pastor that I care about deeply and respect a lot.

Ed Young, originally from Mississippi. He's a pastor of Second Baptist

in Houston which is a church on the west side of Houston and a church that many leaders when they come,

political leaders when they come to town always make their way there.

Ed Young is a guy who has tended to upset Democrats

because he takes positions on issues that the Bible addresses and he does not take issues.
