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.
Billy Graham
Image
The Bible is clear - God's definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.
Billy Graham
Image
I'd grown up in a Presbyterian church, but I really didn't know Christ personally in my heart. I knew him, but I didn't know him. And there's a difference between an intellectual faith and a personal, heart faith in which I opened my heart to him and let him rule my life.

Our faith becomes stronger as we express it a growing faith is a sharing faith
Billy Graham
Image
We should ask ourselves three questions before we speak: Is it true? Is it kind? Does it glorify Christ?
Billy Graham
Image
As a Christian I have hope not just for this life but for Heaven and the life to come. And many of those people who died this past week are in Heaven right now. And they wouldn't want to come back it's so glorious and so wonderful. And that's the hope for all of us who put our faith in God. I pray that you will have this hope in your heart.

There's a way of life, there's a way of death. Which way are you on?

First of all, you have to meet God with light! I do not believe that any man, that any man can solve the problems of life without Jesus Christ.

While our world is shaking and crumbling, we need to realize that one thing will never change, and that is God. He is the same today as he was ten million years ago, and will be the same ten million years from today.
Billy Graham
Image
I am never lonely when I am reading the Bible. Nothing dissolves loneliness like a session with God's Word.
Billy Graham
Image
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.
Billy Graham

If you are ignorant of God's Word, you will always be ignorant of God's will.
Billy Graham

Scripture tells us that there will be signs pointing toward the return of the Lord. I believe all these signs are evident today.
Billy Graham

The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.
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?
Billy Graham
Image
You can receive Christ into your heart, and he can bring joy, and a thrill, and glory such as you have never known - if you will give your life to him.
Billy Graham
Image
Don't ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn't want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.
Billy Graham
Image
Don't worry about what you can't do focus instead on what you can do... and then do it.

Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
