Quotes from Billy Graham

Our culture will stand in roaring ovations for the illusionists, escape artists, and magicians. Deception is everything opposite the truth.

We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with God's moral code.

Christ's church is a place to grow people up in the Lord, not to enhance our leisure time.

It is the presence of sin that prevents man from being truly happy.

Some people have said that man has improved . . . [and] that if Christ came back today, He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception. Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read, in the form of churches that we do not attend, in the form of human need that we pass by. I am convinced that if Christ came back today, He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago. Sin never improves. Human nature has not changed.

Sooner or later, we are going to face death; should we be making preparations while we are living?

We're heading for a world showdown, a worldwide confrontation. If we think we can solve our problems without God, then we're living in a fool's paradise.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever. ISAIAH 40:8

Our imaginations are so stilted. The very thought of being like Jesus is breathtaking.

How often do we lie simply because we are trying to build ourselves up in the eyes of others? How often do we gossip because we want to appear "in the know,"or because we are trying to make ourselves appear better than someone else? The Bible's command is clear: ["Have regard for good things in the sight of all men" (Romans 12:17 NKJV)].

Prayer serves a dual purpose; the blessing of man and the glory of God.

The "do-it-yourself" rage is spreading everywhere, and people are being told that to be happy all they have to do is think "happy thoughts." Such thoughts might cheer us, but they will never change us.
