“Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.”
    -- Romans 13, New American Standard Version of the Bible

“We are selling the greatest product on earth. Why shouldn’t we promote it as effectively as we promote a bar of soap?” 
    – Billy Graham, Saturday Evening Post, 1963

Graham.....left behind a United States government in which religion plays a far greater role than before he intruded into politics in the 1950s. The shift from secular governance to “In God We Trust” can be laid squarely at this minister’s feet.
