Dogs Are Quick To Show Their Affection. They Never Pout, They Never Bear A Grudge. They Never Run Away From Home When Mistreated. They Never Complain About Their Food. They Never Gripe About The Way The House Is Kept. They Are Chivalrous And Courageous, Ready To Protect Their Mistress At The Risk Of Their Lives. They Love Children, And No Matter How Noisy And Boisterous They Are, The Dog Loves Every Minute Of It. In Fact, A Dog Is Still Competition For A Husband. Perhaps If We Husbands Imitated A Few Of Our Dog's Virtues, Life With Our Family Might Be More Amiable.

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.

The Men Upon Whose Shoulders Rested The Initial Responsibility Of Christianizing The World Came To Jesus With One Supreme Request. They Did Not Say, 'lord, Teach Us To Preach'; Lord, Teach Us To Do Miracles,' Or 'lord, Teach Us To Be Wise'...but They Said, 'lord, Teach Us To Pray.'

You Cannot Come To Christ Unless The Spirit Of God Brings You. But What If You Ignore His Warnings? Then You Are In The Gravest Danger, For Some Day God Will No Longer Be Speaking To You.

I Am Constantly Concerned About Being Quoted In The Press And Perhaps Saying The Wrong Thing Or Having What I Say Misinterpreted And Bringing Reproach To The Name Of Christ. People Do Not Come To Hear What Billy Graham Has To Say; They Want To Hear What God Has To Say. Jesus Tells Us Not To Be Misled By The Voices Of Strangers. There Are So Many Strange Voices Being Heard In The Religious World Of Our Day. We Must Compare What They Say With The Word Of God.

Its Either Christ Or The Other God.

A Real Christian Is A Person Who Can Give His Pet Parrot To The Town Gossip.

"what Is The Greatest Surprise You Have Found About Life?" A University Student Asked Me Several Years Ago. "the Brevity Of It," I Replied Without Hesitation. Time Moves So Quickly, And No Matter Who We Are Or What We Have Done, The Time Will Come When Our Lives Will Be Over. As Jesus Said, "as Long As It Is Day, We Must Do The Work Of Him Who Sent Me. Night Is Coming, When No One Can Work" (john 9:4).

Those Are Decisions Only The Lord Will Make. I Believe The Love Of God Is Absolute. He Said He Gave His Son For The Whole World, And I Think He Loves Everybody Regardless Of What Label They Have.

Be Assured That There Is No Sin You Have Ever Committed That The Blood Of Jesus Christ Cannot Cleanse.

We Never Know When We Too Will Be Called Into Eternity. I Doubt If Even One Of Those People Who Got On Those Planes Or Walked Into The World Trade Center Or The Pentagon Last Tuesday Morning Thought It Would Be The Last Day Of Their Lives. They Didn't - It Didn't Occur To Them. And That's Why Each Of Us Needs To Face Our Own Spiritual Need And Commit Ourselves To God And His Will Now.

At Great Cost To Himself, God Has Made It Possible For Each Of Us To Live With Him Eternally. Those Who Reject God's Offer Of A Heavenly Home Will Be Assigned To Hell.

Perhaps The Greatest Psychological, Spiritual, And Medical Need That All People Have Is The Need For Hope.

I’m Grateful For The Opportunities God Gave Me To Minister To People In High Places; People In Power Have Spiritual And Personal Needs Like Everyone Else, And Often They Have No One To Talk To. But Looking Back I Know I Sometimes Crossed The Line, And I Wouldn’t Do That Now.

If We Have No Mercy Toward Others, That Is One Proof That We Have Never Experienced God's Mercy.

You're Rich If You've Had A Meal Today.

The Cross Shows Us The Seriousness Of Our Sin-but It Also Shows Us The Immeasurable Love Of God.

True Prayer Is A Way Of Life, Not Just For Use In Cases Of Emergency.

When God Forgives Us And Purifies Us Of Our Sin, He Also Forgets It. Forgiveness Results In God Dropping The Charges Against Us.

We Have Found That Marriage Should Be Made Up Of Two Forgivers. We Need To Learn To Say, "i Was Wrong, I'm Sorry." And We Also Need To Say, "that's All Right, I Love You."

The Bible Is Not An Option, It Is A Necessity. You Cannot Grow Spiritually Strong Without It.

Each Generation Faces Different Issues And Challenges, But Our Standard Must Always Be Measured By God's Word.

Hundreds Of Passages Point To A Time Of Judgment For Every Person Who Has Ever Lived-none Will Escape. If You Took All The References To Judgment Out Of The Bible, You Would Have Little Bible Left.

God Has A Plan For Your Retirement.

Angels Speak. They Appear And Reappear. They Feel With Apt Sense Of Emotion. While Angels May Become Visible By Choice, Our Eyes Are Not Conducted To See Them Ordinarily Any More Than We Can See The Dimensions Of A Nuclear Field, The Structure Of Atoms, Or The Electricity That Flows Through Copper Wiring.

The Older I Get, The More Important The Eternal Becomes To Me Personally.

Prayer Is Speaking To God - But Sometimes He Uses Our Times Of Prayerful Silence To Speak To Us In Return.

There Comes A Moment When We All Must Realize That Life Is Short, And In The End The Only Thing That Really Counts Is Not How Others See Us, But How God Sees Us.

I Will Never Do Anything In My Entire Life Except Preach The Gospel.

You Can't Change Your Past But You Can Change You Destiny But Deciding For Christ.
