More From Billy Graham

We Are Not Cistern Made For Hoarding, We Are Channels Made For Sharing.

Faith That Saves Has One Distinguishing Quality: Saving Faith Is A Faith That Produces Obedience; It Is A Faith That Brings About A Way Of Life.

I Received Christ Into My Heart And My Life Began To Change. But It Was A Gradual Change. And I Didn't See Any Flashing Bulbs. I Didn't Hear Any Thunder. There Was No Great Emotional Experience. It Was Just Saying: Yes, Lord Jesus, I Want You To Be The Lord Of My Life.

The Only Place We Can Find A Clear, Unmistakable Message Is In The Word Of God, Which We Call The Bible.

... Not Only Are We Comforted In Our Trials, But Our Trials Can Equip Us To Comfort Others.

A Suffering Person Does Not Need A Lecture - He Needs A Listener.

I've Spent Too Much Time Giving Speeches, Traveling The World.

I Think That Hell Essentially Is Separation From God Forever. And That Is The Worst Hell That I Can Think Of. But I Think People Have A Hard Time Believing God Is Going To Allow People To Burn In Literal Fire Forever. I Think The Fire That Is Mentioned In The Bible Is A Burning Thirst For God That Can Never Be Quenched.

Heaven Will Be The Perfection We've Always Longed For. All The Things That Made Earth Unlovely And Tragic Will Be Absent In Heaven.

Prayer Is More Than A Wish; It Is The Voice Of Faith Directed To God.

Any Preacher Who Preaches Beyond That Which He Has Experienced Is Incapable Of Preaching With Conviction.

We Must Never Minimize The Suffering Of Another. Scripture's Mandate To Us Is, "weep With Them That Weep." (romans 12:15, Kjv)

Read The Bible. Work Hard And Honestly. And Don't Complain.

We Cannot Truly Face Life Until We Face The Fact That It Will Be Taken Away From Us.

Only God Can Give Us A Selfless Love For Others, As The Holy Spirit Changes Us From Within. This Is One Reason We Must Receive Christ, For Apart From His Spirit We Can Never Be Freed From The Chains Of Selfishness, Jealousy, And Indifference. Will Others See Christ's Love In Your Life Today?

I Have So Many Gay Friends, And We Remain Friends.

Our World Today So Desperately Hungers For Hope, Yet Uncounted People Have Almost Given Up. There Is Despair And Hopelessness On Every Hand. Let Us Be Faithful In Proclaiming The Hope That Is In Jesus.

What Makes Us Christians Shrug Our Shoulders When We Ought To Be Flexing Our Muscles? What Makes Us Apathetic In A Day When There Are Loads To Lift, A World To Be Won And Captives To Be Set Free? Why Are So Many Bored When The Times Demand Action?

God Did Not Create The Strife Between Races, Nor Did He Intend For It To Be That Way. Strife Between Races And Ethnic Groups Comes From Sin-and Sin Resides In The Human Heart. The Bible Says, “what Causes Fights And Quarrels Among You? Don’t They Come From Your Desires That Battle Within You?” (james 4:1). When One Group Or One Race Claims It Is Superior To Another, Pride Has Taken Control-and Pride Is A Sin.instead, God Wants Us To Learn To Accept Each Other And Love Each Other-and This Becomes Possible, As We Turn Our Lives Over To Christ And Allow Him To Change Us From Within.

Auschwitz Stands As A Tragic Reminder Of The Terrible Potential Man Has For Violence And Inhumanity.

If Ever There Was A Time This Country Needed The Intervention Of God, It Is Now.

The Highest Form Of Worship Is The Worship Of Unselfish Christian Service. The Greatest Form Of Praise Is The Sound Of Consecrated Feet Seeking Out The Lost And Helpless.

Sometimes I'm Asked To List The Most Important Steps In Preparing For An Evangelistic Mission, And My Reply Is Always The Same: Prayer... Prayer... Prayer.

But You Must Come To Me With A Repentant Heart. You Must Be Willing To Be Redeemed. You Must Exchange Your Sin-blackened Heart For A New Heart That Is Cleansed By My Blood.

I've Never Had Any Doubts About My Call.

In The Founding Era Of Our Country, It Was Not Organized Religion But Personal Faith That Brought Focus And Unified The Early Leadership-maybe An Unspoken Faith In God, And Certain Values That Came With That Faith. So In That Sense, We Cannot Discount, In My Judgment, Religious Faith In Politics.

If You Find A Perfect Church Don't Join It: You'd Spoil It.

Suppose You Could Gain Everything In The Whole World, And Lost Your Soul. Was It Worth It?

The Only Thing He Forgets Is Our Sins.

I Think That The Bible Teaches That Homosexuality Is A Sin, But The Bible Also Teaches That Pride Is A Sin, Jealousy Is A Sin, And Hate Is A Sin, Evil Thoughts Are A Sin. So I Don't Think That Homosexuality Should Be Chosen As The Overwhelming Sin That We Are Doing Today.

Death Is Robbed Of Much Of Its Terror For The True Believer.

Life Itself, Every Bit Of Health That We Enjoy, Every Hour Of Liberty And Free Enjoyment, The Ability To See, To Hear, To Speak, To Think, And To Imagine- All This Comes From The Hand Of God. We Show Our Gratitude By Giving Back To Him A Part Of That Which He Has Given To Us.

I'm Not A Righteous Man. People Put Me Up On A Pedestal That I Don't Belong In My Personal Life. And They Think That I'm Better Than I Am. I'm Not The Good Man That People Think I Am. Newspapers And Magazines And Television Have Made Me Out To Be A Saint. I'm Not. I'm Not A Mother Teresa. And I Feel That Very Much.

Although We May Trust God's Promises For Life After Death And The Certainty Of A Heavenly Home, We Must Still Face The Reality Of Death.

If You Don't Make A Decision Then Time Will Make It For You And Time Will Always Side Against You!

The Angels Minister To God's Servants In Time Of Hardship And Danger.

Our Days Are Numbered. One Of The Primary Goals In Our Lives Should Be To Prepare For Our Last Day. The Legacy We Leave Is Not Just In Our Possessions, But In The Quality Of Our Lives. What Preparations Should We Be Making Now? The Greatest Waste In All Of Our Earth, Which Cannot Be Recycled Or Reclaimed, Is Our Waste Of The Time That God Has Given Us Each Day.

I Have Never Targeted Muslims. I Have Never Targeted Jews. I Believe That We Should Declare The Fact That God Loves You, God's Willing To Forgive You, God Can Change You, And Christ And His Kingdom Is Open To Anybody Who Repents And By Faith Receives Him As Lord And Savior.
