“As a person finds God’s will for his or her life, matters of conscience can be handled with perception from the Holy Spirit.”

“[Every] believer will receive a reward for his works. The New Testament teaches these rewards are called “crowns.” We will surely be surprised to note who receives the crowns and who doesn’t. The lowliest servant may sparkle with more jewels than the philanthropist who endowed the church and whose name is engraved on the plaque in the narthex.”

“Prayer is more than a plea, it is a place where we must spend time if we are to learn its power.”

“Worldliness doesn’t fall like an avalanche upon a person and sweep him or her away. It is the steady drip, drip, drip of the water that wears away the stone. The world is exerting a steady pressure on us every day. Most of us would go down under it, if it weren’t for the Holy Spirit who lives inside us, and holds us up, and keeps us.”

“I never try to defend religion. Religion has spawned wars. Many so-called religious people have been characterized by prejudice, pride, and bickering . . . I would call you to a simple faith in Jesus, who said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

“As long as we are on this earth, we possess dual citizenship. On one hand we owe allegiance to our nation and are called to be good citizens. But we are also citizens of the kingdom of God. Our supreme loyalty is to Him.”

“Man is precisely what the Bible says he is. Human nature is behaving exactly as the Bible said it would. The course of human events is flowing just as Christ predicted.”

“Jesus invited us not to a picnic, but to a pilgrimage. He offered us, not an excursion, but an execution. Our Savior said that we would have to be ready to die to self, sin, and the world.”

“If we have our eyes upon ourselves, our problems, and our pain, we cannot lift our eyes upward. A child looks up when he’s walking with his father, and the same should be true for the Christian.”

“The world I once knew as a boy has changed dramatically . . . I don’t even recognize the world we live in today.”

“Those you know the least may need your prayers the most. Don’t let the fact that you don’t know someone keep you from praying for them.”

“God has already set the date [for judgment]. You may make and break appointments in this life, but this is one appointment you are going to keep.”

Billy Graham
“Repent means to renounce sin . . .and by God’s grace to fill my mind with things that honor Him.”

“One of the ironies of human nature is that it often has a way of rejecting the best and accepting the worst.”
