Billy Graham doesn’t like being old, regrets politics and thinks sharing the gospel is still our most important priority. Christianity Today recently interviewed Billy Graham via e-mail and asked about these issues.
When asked what he’d do differently if he had the chance, Graham said he’d spend more time with his family.
“I’d study more and preach less,” he said. “I also would have steered clear of politics.”
To the end, Graham remains committed to evangelism: “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.”

“I have had the privilege of preaching the gospel on every continent in most of the countries of the world. And I have found that when I present the simple message of the gospel of Jesus Christ, with authority, quoting from the very Word of God—he takes that message and drives it supernaturally into the human heart.”

“I am not a great preacher, and I don’t claim to be a great preacher. I’ve heard great preaching many times and I wished I was one of those great preachers. I’m an ordinary preacher, just communicating the gospel in the best way I know.”
