I am happlily married with 5 kids. I am an accoutant and worked in an accounting field for over 25 years. I like to make a habit of writing down whenever I have deep thoughts about God (so I won't forget). I really into Reformed Theology that is connected to Presbyterian Church in America.

Billy Graham

Billy Graham is very well respected and I always respected him. He was radical but at the same time, he always have God in his heart. There are times he is human that he made mistakes but he is upfront. He was the first Christian, eastern or western, to preach in public behind the Iron Curtain after World War II. 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. He has received both the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1983) and the Congressional Gold Medal (1996). In 1953, Graham ended racially segregated seating at his crusades in the South, even before the Supreme Court’s school integration ruling and Graham irked some Southern fundamentalists by inviting Martin Luther King Jr. to give an opening prayer at the crusade. Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is one of the Charter members of the Evangelical Council For Financial Accountability (Since 12/1/1979) ECFA is an accreditation agency dedicated to helping Christian ministries earn the public’s trust through adherence to seven Standards of Responsible Stewardship. Founded in 1979, it is comprised of over 1,100 charitable, religious, missionary, social, and educational tax-exempt, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. What Is ECFA? Which means Billy's organization opened his financial books for the auditors to review and reported that Billy's organization have a very godly and realiable stewardship.
