We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken away from us.
Billy Graham

In heaven I'll wish with all my heart that I could reclaim a thousandth part of the time I've let slip through my fingers, that I could call back those countless conversations which could have glorified my Lord-but didn't.

When Christ's love fills our hearts, it puts selfishness on the run.
Billy Graham
Image
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.

Billy Graham
Image
I'm not a righteous man. People put me up on a pedestal that I don't belong in my personal life. And they think that I'm better than I am. I'm not the good man that people think I am. Newspapers and magazines and television have made me out to be a saint. I'm not. I'm not a Mother Teresa. And I feel that very much.
Billy Graham
Image
Only when Christ comes again will the little white children of Alabama walk hand in hand with little black children.
Billy Graham
Image
My prayer today is that we will feel the loving arms of God wrapped around us, and will know in our hearts that He will never forsake us as we trust in Him.
Billy Graham
Image
Sin then is not a toy with which to play but a terror to be shunned.
Billy Graham
Image
Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer.
Billy Graham
Image
It was not the people or the Roman soldiers who put Jesus on the cross - it was your sins and my sins that made it necessary for Him to volunteer His death.
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
Prayer is more than a wish it is the voice of faith directed to God.
Billy Graham
Image
The most devastating effect of sin is that by it, we are blinded to it.
Billy Graham
