Managing Monday with Billy Graham – Take 2

With tributes to Billy Graham (1918-2018) still pouring in, I thought it appropriate to dedicate Managing Monday to a few of his quotes. The most successful evangelist of the 20th century, Graham’s ministry was truly remarkable, and his legacy continues in the lives of the estimated 3.2million people who responded to the invitation to accept Jesus Christ as their personal saviour at his many crusades. To this should be added many million more who responded to his televised broadcasts – estimated to have been seen by over 2.5 billion people. Here is a second selection of some classic Graham quotes…

• The fact is, we cannot truly face life until we have learned to face the fact that it will be taken away from us. Billy Graham
• Anxiety and fear are like baby tigers. The more you feed them, the stronger they grow. Billy Graham
• Mountaintops are for views and inspiration but fruit is grown in the valley. Billy Graham
• Children will learn far more by watching than by listening. Billy Graham
• We say to our children, ‘Act like grown-ups,’ but Jesus said to the grown-ups, ‘Be like children’. Billy Graham
• Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process where we grow to be more like Christ. Billy Graham

As always, nice chatting…
