It is impossible to believe anything into existence. The gospel did not come into being because men believed it...The fact always precedes the faith.

Only God can give us a selfless love for others, as the Holy Spirit changes us from within. This is one reason we must receive Christ, for apart from His Spirit we can never be freed from the chains of selfishness, jealousy, and indifference. Will others see Christ's love in your life today?

You cannot build a superstructure on a cracked foundation.
Billy Graham
Image
Think of working forever at something you love to do, for one you love with all your heart, and never getting tired! We will never know weariness in heaven.
Billy Graham

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.

Like Joseph storing up grain during the years of plenty to be used during the years of famine that lay ahead, may we store up the truths of God's Word in our hearts as much as possible, so that we are prepared for whatever suffering we are called upon to endure.

Be assured that there is no sin you have ever committed that the blood of Jesus Christ cannot cleanse.
Billy Graham

I think we are trying to run the space age with horse and buggy moral and spiritual equipment. Technology you see has no morals and with no moral restraints man will destroy himself ecologically, militarily, or in some other way. Only God can give a person moral restraints and spiritual strength.
Billy Graham
Image
Forgiveness does not come easily to us, especially when someone we have trusted betrays our trust. And yet if we do not learn to forgive, we will discover that we can never really rebuild trust.
Billy Graham
Image
It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts.
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.

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost when health is lost, something is lost when character is lost, all is lost.

I also would have steered clear of politics. I’m grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to. But looking back I know I sometimes cros­sed the line, and I wouldn’t do that now.

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

The Bible teaches that history began in the Middle East, and someday history will end in the Middle East.

It (the Bible) has never bowed its head before the discoveries of science.
