New Billy Graham Teaching: "Thank God for Angels"

Leah Marieann Klett : Feb 8, 2016  The Gospel Herald

"Some day in Heaven we'll realize just how much they've done for us, at God's command. 'Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?' (Hebrews 1:14)." -Billy Graham
