Like many I have been watching the news of Billy Graham’s death. While I believe in honoring a man who was passionate about the gospel, I am convicted about having the proper motivation. Even Jesus Christ prayed “Glorify Your Son, so that your Son may glorify You” – John 17:1 (NET).

As we reflect on the life of godly men let us not focus on them, but on Christ. Christ is the reason they are godly and the source of their success.

None of us may seem to have the impact for the gospel that Billy Graham did, but ultimately the impact is up to God. So continue to serve God with all you have. He will use it for His glory and you will hear “well done”.
