Quote

The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home our citizenship is in heaven.

Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.
Billy Graham
Image
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.
Billy Graham
Image
It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.
Billy Graham
Image
I remember the first sermon I ever preached. I had four sermons. I preached them, all four in ten minutes. And that was the beginning, in a place called Bostwick, Florida, in northern Florida, in a little tiny church, and on a cold night, about 40 people. And I was so nervous.

If I had to do it all over again, I would speak less and study more.
Billy Graham
Image
Man has always been dexterous at confusing evil with good. That was Adam's and Eve's problem, and it is our problem today. If evil were not made to appear attractive, there would be no such thing as temptation.
Billy Graham
Image
What does the divine sufferer (Jesus) demand from us? Only our faith, our love, our grateful praise, our consecrated hearts and lives. Is that too much to ask?

I never saw a U-Haul behind a hearse.

To the Christian death is the exchanging of a tent for a building.

The moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our first in heaven.

I don't want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in religion except to manipulate it.
Billy Graham
Image
If God eliminated evil by programming us to perform only good acts, we would lose this distinguishing mark - the ability to make choices. We would no longer be free moral agents. We would be reduced to the status of robots.
Billy Graham
Image
Our certainty that angels right now witness how we are walking through life should mightily influence the decisions we make. God is watching, and His angels are interested spectators too.

You're rich if you've had a meal today.
Billy Graham
Image
Without dark clouds in our lives, we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.
Billy Graham
Image
The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security a kind of school where life's basic lessons are taught and a kind of church where God is honored a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.
Billy Graham
Image
We are more united than ever before. I think this was exemplified in a very moving way when the members of our Congress stood shoulder to shoulder the other day and sang God Bless America.
Billy Graham
Image
No matter what you might be going through right now, God has blessed you far more than you probably imagine-not just with material goods, but with family, with freedom and with the ability to enjoy His gifts.
Billy Graham
Image
Be to the world a sign that while we as Christians do not have all the answers, we do know and care about the questions.
Billy Graham

I know God is in charge. Not me, I'm nothing. I wouldn't be anything except for the power of the spirit of God.
