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 are some classic Graham quotes…
- Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will have just changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of the Lord. Billy Graham
- The moment we take out last breath on earth, we take our first in heaven. Billy Graham
- I have read the last page of the Bible. It is all going to be alright. Billy Graham
- Our society strives to avoid any possibility of offending anyone – except God. Billy Graham
- Most of us know about God. But that is quite different from knowing God. Billy Graham
- It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict, God’s job to judge, and my job to love. Billy Graham
As always, nice chatting…
