Rick says he and his team, following the life of Graham pledged never to be alone with a woman who was not our wife  in a room with the door closed.
2.Reach beyond our evangelical boundaries.

3.Broaden the Agenda:
Social integration.He worked for  racial integration.
4.Global Vision;
Just preach the Gospel to all  the nations of the world.
5.Maintain a single focus:
His focus only on Jesus.
6. Use the latest technology.

Not on himself but on a team.

Rick: " The Greatest influence the man had on me came not from what he taught but simply from what he was."He is irreplaceable.
Acts 13: 36---'Now when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep."
The sermon Billy Grhaam preached was his life.
Billy Graham: 'For many years I have made it a practice  to read five pslams and one chapter of Proversbs every day." Psalms taught him how to praise God and Proverbs helped him to relate to people.
"If the Bible does not inspire us in the privacy of our rooms , then we can be assured that our messages will not move those who listen to us preach. If it does not reach our hearts , it will never reach their hearts.If it does not stir us , it wil never stir our hearers.'
