Leading with Love

An employee of Billy Graham's organization for more than 35 years was asked the question: "What was the bottom line of Billy's distinctive leadership?" He answered, "Billy always led with love."

    I think that Billy Graham is a great man of God.

    Something was said by Billy when his wife died at her funeral that bothered me.

    He said that he was glad to see his children and grandchildren, some of which he had not seen in a long time and others he had never seen.

    What keeps a Man of God from being as great a father and grandfather as he was a minister?

    One would think that with the resources that were available to Billy Graham, his family would have been a bigger priority in his life.

    In my case with the birth of a new grandchild, you could not keep me from going to see them.

    I do not think that God requires devotion to him to the extent that a pastor neglects his family.

    This makes me wonder if the children and grandchildren were asked about their family life, what they would say if they were honest?

    I see no excuse for any pastor to have children and grandchildren he has never seen.

    His message he reflects to his family is just as important or more so than the one he preaches to his church.
