Is There a Next Billy Graham...or should there be?

As our esteemed world evangelist Billy Graham has aged, there's been lots of speculation as to who, if anyone, could take his place. Or should they? Not every pastor is called to be a traveling evangelist, but every Christian is called to be a witness for Jesus until the whole world hears (Matthew 28:19-20). Can we all do it with Graham's perspective that opened so many doors and hearts, or will we shout things that only insult people and turn them away from God's amazing grace?

See my article "Is there a next Billy Graham" as published at The Christian Post.

"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone" Colossians 4:5-6 NIV.
