Billy Graham
“The word decease literally means “exodus” or “going out.” The imagery is that of the children of Israel leaving Egypt and their former life of bondage, slavery, and hardship for the Promised Land. So death to the Christian is an exodus from the limitations, the burdens, and the bondage of this life.”

“Everything that we see about us that we count is our possessions only comprises a loan from God, and it is when we lose sight of this all-pervading truth that we become greedy and covetous.”

“Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy when all goes smoothly to lose our
sense of balance and perspective.”
