If there is one person who has embodied Christianity, over the past century, it has been Billy Graham. Whether you are Reformed or not, there always seemed to be a high respect for him and the work he has done in the area of salvation.
And while, in recent times, his beliefs about the "wideness of God's mercy" has cause some to drift away from him (myself included), he gave--in my opinion--one of the greatest quotes I have ever heard. Despite how you feel about Rev. Graham, you have to marvel at the comfort that his statement gives:
"There are days that I feel saved, and there are days that I feel lost. Thank God my salvation doesn't depend on anyone of those days".

Hey Brian:
I did not make that statement because I believe he does (Christ is the one who truly embodies Christianity). But, like it or not, when modern people think of Christianity Billy Graham is usually the first name that pops up to the vast majority.
Clearly, if you hear the "Wideness in God's Mercy" clip I put on the blog, you will easily see that I don't hold to this assertion.
But thanks for the links, I will check them out later.
Soli Deo Gloria!!!
