Gavin says, "We shall … consider in this sermon the Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa's celebrated 1966 Synod of Bloemfontein or 'Fountain of Flowers.' But … 2018 & … 2019 also marks the 400th anniversary of another celebrated Dutch Reformed Synod, to wit, the 1618 to 1619 Synod of Dort … in Holland … . Last Sunday is known in the 1662 Anglican Book of Common Prayer … as Whitsunday or Pentecost, & so the week following Whitsunday is known as Whitsun Week," & the Calendar designates Saturday in Whitsun Week as one of the "Ember Days" upon which "we remember clergy & those to be ordained." Gavin's concern with "false teachers" leads him to say, "we need to pray God for good & Biblically faithful ministers & preachers" which he then does "with reference to all religiously conservative Protestant Christians" "in harmony with, & subject to the teaching of … Matthew 23." Gavin says "This sermon on Billy Graham is considered in connection with … Matthew 23, & the issue of what Article 26 of the Anglican 39 Articles calls 'evil Ministers.' With special reference to Billy Graham's ministry we … consider the threefold Biblical doctrine of separation: religious separation, racial separation, & worldly separation, … & … this sermon will consider racial separation." "In February 2018 it was announced that Billy Graham is dead. Don't you believe a word of it! --- He's still alive! --- He's just changed his address! --- His disembodied soul was carried by the angels into the presence of God for judgment where he saw God face to face! --- And following God's judgment, silly Billy Graham's epitaph is this: --- 'Address Changed in 2018, Gone Home --- to Hell'!"
