Billy Graham

To know the will of God is the highest of all wisdom. Living in the center of God__ will rules out all falseness of religion and puts the stamp of true sincerity upon our service to God.

Don__ take your Bible for granted! For centuries ordinary believers had no access to the Bible; Bibles had to be painstakingly copied by hand and were very expensive. The only access most people had to the Bible was by hearing it read in church. The invention of the printing press changed all that, however, and today the Bible is readily available in multiple translations and hundreds of languages around the world.

The grace of God has been tested in the crucible of human experience, and has been found to be more than an equal for the problems and sins of humanity.

Some of the strongest warnings about judgment in the Bible come from the lips of Jesus.

The whole world ought to know the story of the Bible.

Just as the Bible is God__ written Word, so Jesus is God__ living Word.

We constantly pass up the rich and beautiful and ennobling experiences and seek out the tawdry, the cheap, and the degrading. These are the works of the devil, and they flourish on every side!

The Bible is God__ love letter to us.

Don__ forget: Without fuel, a fire grows cold__nd without the __uel_ of the Bible, prayer, and Christian fellowship, our faith grows cold.

We have seen the results of unrestrained greed, corruption, and manipulation on Wall Street, financial mismanagement in the halls of government, fraud and perversion at the highest levels of both church and state. Many people sense the possibility of an even greater unraveling in the world. We are constantly confronted by the realities of new problems in this age of crisis.

I look forward to seeing Christ and bowing before Him in praise and gratitude for all He has done for us, and for using me on this earth by His grace__ust as I am.

It is not wrong to want to work and earn a decent living; in fact, God has given work to us. But this legitimate desire can very easily cross the line into greed__specially in our materialistic society.

No book ever takes the place of the Bible. It is its own best commentary.

[God] speaks from heaven through the Bible, His written Word. This is why I use the phrase __he Bible says._ I would not have the authority to say what I do in sermons unless it was based upon the Word of God.

What is the authority in your life? Is it your selfishness? Your lust? Your greed? Or have you turned it all over to God and said, __ord, You are going to be my authority_? When you are under authority, you are then able to assume authority.

The Bible sees greed as a form of idolatry, because a greedy person worships things instead of God. Greed and envy have their roots in selfishness.

The Bible is to your soul what bread is to your body. You need it daily. One good meal does not suffice for a lifetime.

It is the presence of sin that prevents man from being truly happy.
