Description
Over the years, Matthew 5:16 has been a daily challenge to me. Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven". I have tried to shine my light in my walk and in my ministry for many years. Although I have failed the Lord at times, the Lord has never failed me. I have sought to shine the light of Christ in our home, in the churches I served, and everywhere I went. While I was in the traveling ministry, I tried to shine my light from east to west and from north to south, in the United States as well as in other countries. Through radio, I found the greatest privilege of all to shine my light. God has blessed this marvelous opportunity in a remarkable way. I give Him all the praise for the strength and help He gave all along the journey as I tried to shine the light and do His will.

Summary
The life and ministry of J. Allen Blair

Excerpt
Mr. Frank Graham, father of Billy Graham and one of our faithful Elders at Calvary, a wonderful man of God, had been ill for some time. After about a year he went to be with the Lord. Billy asked me to conduct the funeral service. In addition, he asked if I would meet him at the viewing about 9 o'clock in the evening after everyone had gone, as he desired to rededicate his life by his father's casket because his dad had meant so much to him. I met with Billy and several others. His family and members of the team gathered around the casket and we all knelt in prayer. Billy was flat on the floor, face downward. I called on the Lord, giving thanks for this great man of God who had meant so much to all of us. I committed Billy's life afresh to the Lord and dedicated my own life and the lives of the other men who were with us in the room. It was a solemn experience. If Billy Graham felt such a burden to rededicate his life to the Lord, used as he was, how necessary it is that many in our churches do the same.
