Quotes from Franklin Graham

We are all flawed people.

Prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life; yet, many only turn to it as a last resort. When unbelievers pray for repentance of sin and ask for God's forgiveness, prayer is the spiritual dynamite that obliterates the darkness and despair of a sin-soaked soul.

Jesus is gentle, but He is not weak. He loves the sinner but is absolutely intolerant of sin. He is not a negotiator. He is Lord. It is this bristling truth that invites intolerance toward Christians. Jesus did not say, Do your own thing... all roads lead to God. That would have made Jesus politically correct, but Jesus is not politically correct. He is Lord.

For those who have already experienced the grace of Almighty God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, prayer becomes the catalyst for fellowship with the Lord of our souls, redeemed by his blood. By tapping into the channel by which we commune with the One who calls his children "friends," we can receive his strength in our weakness; his guidance in our steps; and his mercy when we stumble along life's path.

America is infatuated with this false understanding of tolerance. To be truly tolerant is not to give every idea equal standing or to compromise the truth in the interest of keeping the peace and making everyone happy.

Jesus Christ paid the price for our eternal salvation through the shedding of His blood on Calvary's cross for all men—equally.

They are never going to invite you back, so you might as well open your mouth and unload both barrels of that gun. Say what you got to say.

Being tolerant does mean accepting the fact that every person is created in the image of Almighty God and that we each have a soul that will live for eternity.

Until the day my father died, he couldn't let go of a wrong in his life until he made it right—first with God and then with others. I learned from my father that unconfessed sin in believers' hearts hinders their walk, their talk, and their service to God. But when it is settled with God, He restores joy and fellowship.

During my teens and early 20s, I proved to be anything but what most people expected Billy Graham's son to be. I'm so thankful he never gave up on me or quit loving me.

There is no question that America has been a nation that has been blessed by almighty God. There is no other nation in the history of mankind that has done what His nation has done - and it's because of God's hand and His blessing.

I don't think I've been to any country where everybody was supportive - there's always churches or groups who don't like my theology or that we associate with this group or that group.
