Billy Graham

Conscience is a vigilant eye before which each imagination, thought, and act is held up for either censure or approval . . .There is no greater proof of the existence of a moral law and Lawgiver in the universe than this little light of the soul. It is God__ voice to the inner man.

The fiercest storm is taking place in some of our churches__he unbelief and disobedience of God__ Word.

At the end of his life Buddha said: __ am still searching for truth._ This statement could be made by countless thousands of scientists, philosophers, and religious leaders throughout all history. However, Jesus Christ made the astounding claim: I am . . . the truth_ [John 14:6]. He is the embodiment of all truth. The only answer to man__ search is found in Him.

I am convinced if the church went back to the main task of proclaiming the Gospel it would see people being converted to Christ, and it would have a far greater impact on the social, moral, and psychological needs of people than anything else it could possibly do.

The church is a storehouse of spiritual food whereby the inner man is fed, nourished, and developed into maturity. If it fails, it is not fulfilling its purpose as a church.

Preaching the whole council of God involves man__ environment and physical being as well as his soul. There is no doubt that the church is in danger of getting off the main track and getting lost.

Peer pressure accounts for much of the promiscuous sex in high schools and colleges. __onform or get lost._ Since no one enjoys losing friends or being cast out of his own circle, peer pressure__specially during the years of adolescence__s an almost irresistible force.

Every stage of life has its own temptations and dangers, and Satan will do all he can to exploit them . . .the time to prepare is now, not when it arrives.

Be very sure that you do not deliberately place yourself in a position to be tempted.

None of us deserves God__ love. All of us deserve His righteous judgment and wrath (John 3:18, 36; Romans 3:9_12). It is easy to think of an evil and depraved man like Adolf Hitler deserving divine judgment . . .But think of the kind and good people that you know . . .They too will be lost if they refuse and neglect God__ offer of mercy and forgiveness. God__ judgment applies to them too.

In thousands of churches [people] are led astray theologically. Thus spiritually and morally they are drifting aimlessly, without compass or guide.

We will be judged according to our ability. The retired couple who count the offering every Sunday, never divulging the amount anyone in the congregation contributes, will not be tested in the same way as the millionaire who wants an inscription on the stained glass window, so everyone will know who donated it. Some of the most severe tests will be given to the [preachers] for the way in which they handled the Word of God. There will be no reward for leading others astray in lifestyle or in doctrine through false teaching.

America and Western Europe are on a moneymaking, pleasure-mad spree unparalleled in the history of the world. God is generally ignored or ridiculed. Church members in many cases are only halfhearted Christians. Judgment is coming.

A call for national and individual repentance is urgently needed today, or judgment is certain to fall.

Integrity is the glue that holds our way of life together. What our young people want to see in their elders is integrity, honesty, truthfulness, and faith. What they hate most of all is hypocrisy and phoniness . . . Let them see us doing what we would like them to do.

If our minds and hearts are not filled with God__ truth, something else will take His place: cynicism, occultism, false religions and philosophies, drugs__he list is endless.

Be sure that Satan will tempt you at your weak point, not the strong.

Our voices, our service, and our abilities are to be employed, primarily, for the glory of God.
