This is the Truth Network truth listeners Stu Epperson here and I am in a very special place. One of my favorite places to be anywhere anytime, but especially Christmas on the Billy Graham library with my friend Will Ferrell's third cousin were not going there. Jim Kirkland, an awesome man of God mentoring me Jim you leave for many hats. You been for years. The manager of 106.9 FM the light station the covers like 20 states out of Asheville and here you are here we are in this library and it sets and what don't go there, but talk to me about what God is doing to Billy Graham's ministry.

Why silly people are coming to Christ at Christmas right here. Well, there is if you have not had the opportunity to to visit. Please look at your calendar and look at making a trip to coming and experiencing Christmas at the library. It is happening from five to 9:30 PM Monday through Thursday and then until 10 PM on Friday really crowded here.

Tons of an end, but the beautiful thing is you get to mingle with a lot of people, but you get to the Billy Graham library very quickly. So don't let a line scare you but you have the opportunity to bring your family to see just a delightful scene at night with lights with the carriage rides live nativity the kids compact lamb cam on a five thing the camel this year but usually we have a camel there's one who's out there I overlooked. I keep Christ in Christmas tree bracelet and you seem responsive note cute cuddly fella, but it was expressionless, but you could tell his heart was in the right place right here. The Liber live animal and he's here to serve the sensor. You can grab eat some snacks at the Graham Brothers dairy bar in the library and just really taken the wonder of Christmas. That's all built around all the beauty of the majesty all the the the happenings and events are all centered on the reason for the season and that is the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. So anywhere, especially if you're listening and in Charlotte for the triad or the triangle it's an easy trip will come from all over the place multiple states right you have big buses below from everywhere because they want to see the homeplace, the birthplace Billy Graham. They want to see the heritage Christmas there some special thing throughout the course of the year they'll be people from every state countries visiting here, you get to see basic info before you, the life of the Graham of the purpose is not the life of Billy Graham.

It is Billy Graham's calling for our service of our Savior, Billy Graham would be the first to say, look, this is not about me and I don't want this about me. This is about the one who is in me and the one who gives us eternal life, and ultimately our source for peace and hope Jesus Christ and you will see that over and over and over to the library but don't take it for me to experience it yourself. Bring your family. Bring your friends will be meaningful to you and could also be a catalyst for some meaningful conversations you want to share the gospel. Someone you can't you can't muster the courage we can bring them to a really cool archival really fun now is a museum at a place tons of neat things, especially Christmas time at all year-round. And it is that you have and share the gospel with just yet. How many times you hear the gospel they go to the to or from beginning to Jim in this Billy Graham library were in right now. It will be unavoidable and most importantly, it will be clear it will be with compassion and truth and is liable to bring up some some some some some thoughts and questions that your loved one.

Certainly this people right here on staff who are ready, eager to share with anybody the hope that sounded a relationship with Jesus Christ. So you see the gospel to hear the gospel to have opportunity to accept the gospel and there are people at all times throughout the library ready to assist in any way they can, and not answering questions somebody may have about Christ in a relationship with them so we got so just take just to did you traverse or were you walking this beautiful front door course there's there's some some really cool exhibits of antiquity outside that you know us some simulated houses an amazing prayer garden were some wonderful godly people, including the wife of Billy Graham is are you going to heaven.

How neat that the two trees, one tree symbols Christ birth the other treated symbols. His death that something that you know in the greatest ornament was a Savior who hung on a tree for us and all the vision of just cast to I can be seen as the Graham library.org. I look it up on the website and you can see for yourself just the, the, the, the excellence of the most poorly the thought that went behind everything that is a part of the library and everything points ultimately to Jesus Christ you walk through that perspective is just an encouraging thing. If you're a believer. This will encourage you if you don't know Christ. You will hear the gospel because they got Billy Graham's messages throughout the years piping through constantly really really cool to hear that the CM in different places, internationally and stateside in Chicago always places that there's this massive bookstore with amazing resources.
