Michael Farris, CEO of Alliance Defending Freedom and chancellor emeritus of Patrick Henry College, posted to his official Facebook page a statement in which he explained why he believed Graham was a great man.

"But he was not a great man because he was good. He was a fantastic and charismatic speaker. But he was not a great man because he was charismatic. He counseled presidents. He was not a great man because of this either," wrote Farris.

"Billy Graham was a great man because he understood that every person who ever lived was a sinner in need of a Savior. And with love and compassion for lost people like we all are or were, Billy Graham told us the Good News that Jesus came to save sinners."
