Image
Prayer should not be merely an act, but an attitude of life.
Billy Graham
Image
America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education. Many of the nation's greatest universities were founded by evangelists and religious leaders but many of these have lost the founders concept and become secular institutions. Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering.

You have to decide to servant the gods of materialism all around us or the true and the living God.
Billy Graham
Image
Even our pets can become idols.
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.

Image
Ruth and I are happily incompatible.
Billy Graham
Image
The influence of a mother upon the lives of her children cannot be measured. They know and absorb her example and attitudes when it comes to questions of honesty, temperance, kindness and industry.

My hope does not rest in the affairs of this world. It rests in Christ who is coming again.
Billy Graham
Image
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.'

God measures people by the small dimensions of humility and not by the bigness of their achievements or the size of their capabilities.
Billy Graham
Image
We can be certain that God will give us the strength and resources we need to live through any situation in life that he ordains. The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.
Billy Graham
Image
I don't think I get angry.
Billy Graham
Image
Look, I happen to agree with what George says about the interpretation of the New Testament, but I want to remind both of you to never play God.
Billy Graham
Image
What a moment to take the newspaper in one hand and the Bible in the other and watch the unfolding of the great drama of the ages. This is an exciting and thrilling time to be alive. I would not want to live in any other period.
Billy Graham
Image
If we fail to solve this moral and spiritual crisis we may be doomed like the great nations of the past.
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.
Billy Graham
Image
When thanksgiving is filled with true meaning and is not just the formality of a polite 'thank you,' it is the recognition of dependence.
Billy Graham
Image
Love is to the heart what the summer is to the farmer's year. It brings to harvest all the loveliest flowers of the soul.
Billy Graham
Image
You will never understand who you are until you understand who God is.
Billy Graham
Image
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
