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.

More From Billy Graham

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.

If God Were To Remove All Evil From Our World (but Somehow Leave Human Beings On The Planet), It Would Mean That The Essence Of 'humanness' Would Be Destroyed. We Would Become Robots.

Some Of The Greatest Values That Have Influenced Me Through The Years Are Those That I Learned As A Boy Growing Up On The Farm. I Remember Mostly The Love In Our Family, But I Also Remember The Discipline. Then There Was The Work; We All Had To Work.

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.'

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.

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.

Scripture Tells Us That There Will Be Signs Pointing Toward The Return Of The Lord. I Believe All These Signs Are Evident Today.

As This New Year Begins, Ask God To Help You Tune Your Life Every Day To His Word, So You Can Bring Harmony And Joy To Those Around You.

I Don't Think There Is Anything Wrong With A Man Who Wants To Give Credit To The Lord, But I Don't Think The Team With The Most Christians On It Is Necessarily Going To Win. The Lord May Be Helping Their Characters And Souls, But I Don't Think He's Any More For The Dodgers Than He Is For The Braves. More Than Being Concerned With Who's Going To Win The Super Bowl, I Feel The Lord Is Probably More Concerned That They Might Find A Day Other Than Sunday To Play It On.

A Spirit Of Thankfulness Is One Of The Most Distinctive Marks Of A Christian Whose Heart Is Attuned To The Lord. Thank God In The Midst Of Trials And Every Persecution.

I Started Out As The President Of A Small College In Minnesota In 1947. And I Had Five Years Of Experience At The College. Then We Went To Los Angeles. And The Press Got To What We Were Doing. And I Went To Boston, Which Is My Next Series Of Meetings. That Was In 1950.

I Am Convinced That When A Man Sincerely Searches For God With All His Heart, God Will Reveal Himself In Some Way.

I'm Against Divorce. I Think The Bible Teaches That Divorce Is Wrong, But At The Same Time, I Also Believe That The Bible Has A Leave Way; Jesus Said That A Person Should Not Be Divorced And Should Not Be Separated.

What God Is Doing Today Is Calling People Out Of The World For His Name. Whether They Come From The Muslim World, Or The Buddhist World, Or The Christian World, Or The Non-believing World, They Are Members Of The Body Of Christ Because They've Been Called By God. They May Not Even Know The Name Of Jesus, But They Know In Their Hearts They Need Something That They Don't Have And They Turn To The Only Light They Have And I Think They're Saved And They're Going To Be With Us In Heaven.

We Have Resorted To Every Means To Win Back The Position That Adam Lost. We Have Tried Through Education, Through Philosophy, Through Religion, Through Governments To Throw Off Our Yoke Of Depravity And Sin. All Our Knowledge, All Our Inventions, All Our Developments And Ambitious Plans Move Us Ahead Only A Very Little Before We Drop Back Again To The Point From Which We Started. For We Are Still Making The Same Mistake That Adam Made - - We Are Still Trying To Be King In Our Own Right, And With Our Own Power, Instead Of Obeying God's Law.
