The other week while at Ridgecrest, I was the lone witness
of seeing an older Junior Hill make his way from the lower parking lot, up the
hill, climb a flight of stairs and then, with a hearty smile and a sense of
victory enter the sanctuary with his worn Bible in hand. This giant of a man looked at me and said, “I
made it brother!” The many years of
travel and evangelistic crusades could have rendered him put out to
pasture. But here he was with a gait
that showed him more akin to a thoroughbred coming out of the gates at
Churchill Downs. I wish I had run down the hill when I first spotted him. I wish I had walked with him; and if he had
allowed me to, even offer a shoulder of support to make that climb. Another climbs a mountain this week to his 95th
birthday and an appeal to America to embrace the cross, receive the message of
hope that is found only in Christ Jesus, and be saved. As of early October, 25,000 churches in the
US and Canada have run down the hill, embraced Billy Graham in a nation-wide
gospel presentation The Cross, a powerful presentation of hope through
the testimonies of Billy Graham, Lecrae Moore and Lacey Sturm. Check your local listings for the Friday and
Saturday night telecast at 7:30 p.m. You
can also catch it Thursday night at 10:00 on Fox News!
