Billy Graham

Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.

The empire of angels is as vast as God__ creation. If you believe the Bible, you will believe in their ministry.

Our nation grew strong in an era when moral standards were emphasized, and it will grow weak when we condone that which we once condemned.

[Multitudes] have never been born again. They will go into eternity lost__hile thinking they are saved because they belong to the church, or were baptized.

One of the characteristics of some drugs (such as cocaine) is that they make a person feel strong and alert__hen in fact the opposite is the case. Don__ allow yourself to be deceived.

Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.

[God] wants to help you overcome the bitterness and anger that you feel, and He wants to encourage you . . . He knows that anger and depression will never help you deal with your problems__hey only make them worse.

We talk out of both corners of our mouth at once. We say we are a Christian nation, but much of our literature, our social practices, our deep interests are not Christian at all. They are totally secular.

The Bible condemns the use of any substance which alters or distorts our thinking (including alcohol, which was the most common drug in ancient times).

Every destructive emotion bears its own harvest, but anger__ fruit is the most bitter of all.

Liquor is not necessary either for health or for so-called gracious living . . .It is the cause of untold sorrow, suffering, and material loss, not to mention the spiritual implications of drinking.

In Houston, Texas, a man was born again in one of our meetings. He owned a liquor store. The next morning he had a sign on the front of his door saying, __ut of business.

The Bible . . . is the only Book that offers man a redemption and points the way out of his dilemmas. It is our one sure guide in an unsure world.

[Angels] crisscross the Old and New Testaments, being mentioned directly or indirectly nearly 300 times.

Volumes could be written on the problem of [drug] addiction. Millions of barbiturates are swallowed every night to help the nation sleep. Millions of tranquilizers keep us calm during the day. Millions of pep pills wake us up in the morning. The Bible warns that these flights from reality bring no lasting satisfaction.

Without the Bible, this world would indeed be a dark and frightening place, without signpost or beacon.

There are many irritations in life. They become prime opportunities for Satan to lead us into evil passion. Keep anger clear of bitterness, spite, or hatred.

God will never__ever__ead you to do something that is contrary to His written Word, the Bible.
