Billy Graham

There is no point of space, whether inside or outside the bounds of creation, where God is not present. That is why when we ask the question, __ho__ in control?_ we can answer without equivocation, __od is!

Many a criminal has finally given himself over to the authorities because the accusations of a guilty conscience were worse than prison bars.

Conscience is our wisest counselor and teacher, our most faithful and most patient friend.

Don__ be bound by the past and its failures. But don__ forget its lessons either.

Christ can rid you of inner conflict. Man without God is always torn between two urges. His nature prompts him to do wrong, and his conscience urges him to do right.

All around you are people whose lives are filled with trouble and sorrow, and they need your compassion and encouragement.

We have become so tolerant and accepting of the world__ ways that it is hard for many in the church to notice the sin much less answer how it crept in. The church is to be in the world, but worldliness is not to infiltrate the church.

Have we just been placed here by some unknown creator or force without any clue as to where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going? The answer is __o._ We do have a code. We do have a key . . . the Bible.

In every true conversion the will of man comes into line with the will of God.

God__ star promised peace to the whole world . . .too often man__ synthetic stars bring fear and anxiety. Our gadget-filled paradise, suspended in a hell of international insecurity, certainly does not offer us the happiness of which the last century dreamed. But there is still a star in the sky.

Repeated disappointment almost always triggers a series of other reactions: discouragement, anger, frustration, bitterness, resentment, even depression. Unless we learn to deal with disappointment, it will rob us of joy and poison our souls.

Deep down inside I knew something was different . . .I wanted to tell others what had happened to me. I didn__ have any tears, I didn__ have any emotion, I didn__ hear any thunder, there was no lightning . . . but . . . I made my decision for Christ.

Today the idea of the shed blood of Christ is becoming old-fashioned and out of date in a lot of preaching. It is in the Bible. It is the very heart of Christianity.

There are two masters, and you have to choose which master you are going to serve.

Disappointments are part of life; we can__ always have our own way, and we need to learn to separate what is significant from what is merely annoying. Only in heaven will we be free of all disappointments and failures. A friend of mine says, __h well, a hundred years from now it won__ make any difference!

One of the joys of heaven . . . will be discovering the hidden ways that God in His sovereignty acted in our lives on earth to protect and guide us [that we might] bring glory to His name, in spite of our frailty.

Don__ let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another__f we seek it.

Though we have less to worry about than previous generations, we have more worry. Though we have it easier than our forefathers, we have more uneasiness. Though we have less real cause for anxiety than our predecessors, we are inwardly more anxious.
