“All the nations that make up the world are burdened down with riches or poverty, obesity or malnutrition, success or failure.”

“The blood of Christ “purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation” (Revelation 5:9 NIV).”

Billy Graham
“Today the idea of the shed blood of Christ is becoming old-fashioned and out of date in a lot of preaching.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.”

“Some Christians have an elastic conscience when it comes to their own foibles—and an ironbound conscience when it comes to the foibles of others.”

Billy Graham
“It is man and not the Bible that needs correcting. Greater and more careful scholarship has shown that apparent contradictions were caused by incorrect translations, rather than divine inconsistencies.”

Billy Graham
“[Multitudes] have never been born again. They will go into eternity lost—while thinking they are saved because they belong to the church, or were baptized.”

“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.”

“Come back to the Bible. Begin to read it. Study it and God will speak to you and change you—and through you perhaps history can be changed.”

Billy Graham
“The legacy we leave is not just in our possessions, but in the quality of our lives. The greatest waste in all of our earth, which cannot be recycled or reclaimed, is our waste of the time that God has given us each day.”

“Guard your tongue, and use it for good instead of evil. How many marriages or friendships have been destroyed because of criticism that spiraled out of control? How many relationships have broken down because of a word spoken thoughtlessly or in anger? A harsh word can’t be taken back; no apology can fully repair its damage.”

Billy Graham
“We have glamorized vice and minimized virtue. We have played down gentleness, manners, and morals—while we have played up rudeness, savagery, and vice . . . and the philosophy of “might is right.”

Billy Graham
“If [Christian leaders] do not teach Christian principles to all followers of Christ, we are not equipping them with God’s truth that will
overcome worldly influence.”

Billy Graham
“Sometimes I think the truly committed Christian is in conflict with society around him more than any other person. Society is going one direction, and the Christian is going in the opposite direction. This brings about friction and conflict. But God has promised, in the midst of trouble and conflict, a genuine peace, a sense of assurance and security, that the worldly person never knows.”

Billy Graham
“In the textbook of revelation, the Bible, God has spoken verbally; and this spoken word has survived every scratch of the human pen.”

Billy Graham
“In character-building and in living the Christian life, concentration is important. The [person] who has a general interest in everything usually isn’t too good at anything.”
