Billy Graham: I’m Not a Great Preacher
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on January 30, 2009
“I am not a great preacher, and I don’t claim to be a great preacher. I’ve heard great preaching many times and I wished I was one of those great preachers. I’m an ordinary preacher, just communicating the gospel in the best way I know.”
-Billy Graham
(Billy Graham: God’s Ambassador)
Billy Graham Homesick for Heaven … in 1978
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on January 29, 2009
“I would be very happy if the Lord would say it’s time to go home. I’m looking forward to it because the pressures of my particular life are very heavy and I get very homesick for heaven … But I don’t want to be a cop-out either. I want to stay and do what he wants me to do.”
-Billy Graham
(Texas Monthly, March 1978)
Billy Graham: The Crowds are Meaningless
Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on January 14, 2009
“The great crowds themselves are meaningless. The thing that counts is what happens in the hearts of the people. The evangelist sows the seed, and much inevitably falls upon stony ground and bears no fruit. But if only a few seeds flourish, the results are manifold. After three and a half years of preaching to the thousands of people, Christ could number only 120 followers at Pentecost. But those 120 changed the world.”
-Billy Graham
(Billy Graham: God’s Ambassador)
