Billy Graham: make now the time
Time is short, warns legendary evangelist Billy Graham.
What is your life? The Bible tells us you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
If someone had told me when I was 20 years old that life was very short and would pass just like that, I wouldn’t have believed it. And if I tell you that, you won’t believe it either.
I cannot get young people to understand how brief life is, and how quickly it passes. It seems like yesterday I was in school.
Every one of us here has been given the same amount of time in a day. Fourteen hundred and forty minutes a day, 168 hours per week. The Bible tells us that 70 years are given to us, or 80 if our strength endures, and it’s interesting to me with all of our medical science we’ve never passed that magic mark. The average British male today lives 79 years and the average female 82.9 years.
What a thing it is when you think that you have just one short life to spend and it will soon be over! I’d write down my priorities in life and I’d get committed to certain priorities. Now is the accepted time.
