God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
Billy GrahamRead
Evangelism is when the Gospel, which is good news, is preached or presented to all people.
Interpretation
Evangelism involves sharing the good news of the Gospel with everyone.
Billy Graham emphasizes that evangelism is about spreading the message of the Gospel, which he defines as good news for all people. This notion highlights the inclusive nature of the Gospel and the importance of reaching out to others with its positive and transformative message.
In practice
In a sermon about the importance of outreach, I quoted Billy Graham's definition of evangelism.
God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, 'I love you.'
The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance.

God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.
Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling.
Heaven doesn't make this life less important; it makes it more important.
People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.
Irrigators channel waters; fletchers straighten arrows; carpenters bend wood; the wise master themselves.
If a few minutes of suffering could make me so angry, what would years of it do? Even a stone can be worn down with enough rain.
Instead of 'watching the thinker,' you can also create a gap in the mind stream simply by directing the focus of your attention into the Now. Just become intensely conscious of the present moment. This is a deeply satisfying thing to do. In this way, you draw consciousness away from mind activity and create a gap of no-mind in which you are highly alert and aware but not thinking. This is the essence of meditation.
Deign on the passing world to turn thine eyes, And pause a while from learning to be wise. There mark what ills the scholar's life assail,- Toil, envy, want, the patron, and the jail.
What do years have to do with age?
