This is from DL Moody's audio book (free) titled the Ten Commandments. He tells of an anonymous list of the Commandments that is paraphrased, from the mid 1800s

The First Commandment is: You shall have no other gods before Me.

The paraphrase: Love to God admits no other god.

Billy Graham

His headquarters is here, and I'm ashamed to say I never went to one of his crusades, although I did watch some on TV

Billy Graham HQ? Me too! Wish I was a little closer but we’re about an hour away in NC. Do you mean there?

Whoops! Slipped my aging brain!

Whoops! Slipped my aging brain!

The only reason I know is because I grew up here.

University of Northwestern in Saint Paul is still running, and I listen to the radio station he/they started every day (Faith Radio).
Billy Graham preached the first sermon on Faith Radio (before I was born)

I didn't listen to this station growing up. I don't know what Mom and Dad would have said if I had found it and tried to listen, since Baptist. They were extremely restrictive on what we could listen to . . . classical music, sacred (organ/choir) music, news/some talk radio (it was clean back then), and sports (Twins and Packers) When I was a teen, I heard Lutheran Vespers on late at night after a Twins game (same station) and listened without Parents finding out That probably would have been OK, though.
