“Never has there been a time when men tried so desperately to have fun as they do today.”

“Many people are willing to have Jesus as part of their lives—as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. They may even profess faith in Jesus and join a church. But Jesus to them is almost like an insurance policy—something they obtain and then forget about until they die. What keeps you from being His disciple?”

“Man is a rebel, and a rebel is naturally in confusion. He is in conflict with every other rebel. For a rebel by his very nature is selfish. He is seeking his own good and not the good of others.”

Billy Graham
“Temptation: Recognize it for what it is, and then reject it—immediately and without compromise.”

Billy Graham
“[Jesus] prayed briefly when He was in a crowd; He prayed a little longer when He was with His disciples; and He prayed all night when He was alone. Today, many in the ministry tend to reverse that process.”

Billy Graham
“Jesus told His disciples that the “world,” meaning the world system, the political and social order organized apart from God, will despise Christians.”

Billy Graham
“Confession and repentance might be described as the negative side of submission; this involves getting rid of everything which hinders God’s control over our lives. Yielding to God might be described as the positive side . . . placing ourselves totally into the hands of God.”

Billy Graham
“It is not the temptations you have, but the decision you make about them that counts.”

Billy Graham
“[God] alone is perfect. Even His anger is righteous, because it is directed solely against evil.”

“Nowhere in Mark 16:15—“Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” [KJV] — nor in any similar Scripture did Christ command us to go only into the Western or capitalist world. Nowhere did He say to exclude the Communist world.”
