Billy Graham

God does communicate with those who are willing to obey Him. He penetrates the dark silence with free, life-giving discoveries in nature, the human conscience, Scripture, and the Person of Jesus Christ.

We have been trying to solve every ill of society as though society were made up of regenerate men to whom we had an obligationto speak with Christian advice.

The Bible nowhere teaches that the church will ultimately convert the whole world to Jesus Christ. There has never been a generation in history, nor will there ever be generation, in which the majority of the people will believe in Christ.

What happens when lying and stealing and immorality and murder become the norm? The result can be summarized in one word: chaos.

If we in the church want a cause to fight, let__ fight sin. Let__ reveal its hideousness. Let__ show that Jeremiah was correct when e said: __he heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked_ [Jeremiah 17:9 NKJV].

The Bible teaches that man can undergo a radical spiritual and moral change that is brought about by God Himself.

The church holds the key to revival. It is within our grasp.

Faith actually means surrender and commitment to the claims of Christ. It means an acknowledgment of sin and a turning to Christ.

Apart from religious influence, the family is the most important unit of society.

This is a high-strung, neurotic, impatient age. We hurry when there is no reason to hurry, just to be hurrying. This fast-paced age has produced more problems and less morality than previous generations, and it has given us jangled nerves. Impatience as produced a crop of broken homes, ulcers, and has set the stage for more world wars.

[Integrity] means a person is the same on the inside as he or she claims to be on the outside. He is the same person alone in a hotel room a thousand miles from home as he is at work or in his community or with his family. A man of integrity can be trusted.

We can hold nothing back [from God]. He must control and dominate us [wholly]. It is a surrender without any conditions attached. This surrender is a definite and conscious act on our part in obedience to the Word of God.

In character-building and in living the Christian life, concentration is important. The [person] who has a general interest in everything usually isn__ too good at anything.

Sometimes it is difficult to differentiate the Christian from the man of the world. In America, for example, churchgoing has become popular, but churchgoing may not necessarily be accompanied by genuine depth in prayer and Bible study or a change in lifestyle.

God__ church is a Bible-centered church, and it grows strong under persecution.

We have changed our moral code to fit our behavior instead of changing our behavior to harmonize with God__ moral code.

Statistics indicate that the church is rapidly losing in the population explosion. There are fewer Christians per capita every day.

Everyone has temptations but some folks entertain them . . .Get your eyes off the temptation and onto Christ!
