Midweek Meditation: "On Success" (Billy Graham)


Billy Graham passed away on Feb 21st, 2018. Our world is constantly infatuated with all things success. Learn from Graham as he offers a different take.
  • "Where do we get the notion that our idea of success and God's are the same? You have written a book; you are a clever manager and promoter; you are a talented artist; you are independently wealthy; you have achieved fame and fortune. Without the gifts of intelligence, personality, and physical energy - which are all endowed by God - where would you be?"
  • "Success stories may be great motivational material for sales seminars, but we are not always successful." 
  • "Many of the wicked are receiving their wages now. Many Christians who may not be succeeding according to the world's standards now, will reap great rewards in heaven."
  • "Our world is obsessed with success. But how does God define success? Success in God's eyes is faithfulness to His calling."
  • "God measures people by the small dimensions of humility and not by the bigness of their capabilities."
