Quote

I started out as the president of a small college in Minnesota in 1947. And I had five years of experience at the college. Then we went to Los Angeles. And the press got to what we were doing. And I went to Boston, which is my next series of meetings. That was in 1950.

The Bible says we must choose two ways of life.

Don't let circumstances distress you. Rather, look for the will of God for your life to be revealed in and through those circumstances.
Billy Graham

The Bible promises us that Jesus will return to take His faithful followers with Him to live with Him in His glorious presence forever. Everyone else will be left behind to face God's wrath and judgment. If Jesus were to return today, do you know if He would take you with Him to heaven?.

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.

Everything we have comes from (God's) hands even if we worked for it or earned it, He still gave us the ability and the opportunity to do it.

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.

God can use the fear that grips the hearts of men today to point them to eternal truths- the truth of God's eternal judgment, and the truth of His eternal love.

There is a vast difference between intellectual belief and the total conversion that saves the soul.
Billy Graham

The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.

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
I have many friends that don't claim to be followers of Christ. As far as day-to-day friendship and being together at various functions, I don't think that there should be any difference at all.
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.

I think that if I would talk on a political subject, if I talk about it, it would divide the audience on that issue. That's not my issue.
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.'

Image
Grumbling and gratitude are, for the child of God, in conflict. Be grateful and you won't grumble. Grumble and you won't be grateful.
Billy Graham
Image
Think about the holes children make when they dig in the sand on the seashore. When the waves come in, the holes are swallowed up by the ocean. Similarly, when we know Christ, our physical death is overwhelmed by the love and grace of God. Death is swallowed up in the victory of Christ.

Faith is loved and honored by God more than any other single thing.

If it weren't for God's grace, you and I wouldn't be able to live for even one more minute.

Take your eyes and your ears and your hands and your feet and your thoughts and your heart: Give them completely to Christ

The greatest surprise in life to me is the brevity of life.
