Billy Graham

"The self-life manifests itself in self-indulgences, such as self-love, self-will, self-seeking, self-pride . . . It takes self-denial to turn off the television and spend [time] in prayer . . . And read the Scriptures . . .The only object in life is that Christ may be honored."

"No matter where we are, God is as close as a prayer. He is our support and our strength. He will help us make our way up again from whatever depths we have fallen."

"The Bible differentiates clearly between true faith and mere religiosity."

"To be Spirit-filled is to be controlled or dominated by the Spirit’s presence and power."

"If we who have the Holy Spirit living and working within us falter and fail, what hope is there for the rest of the world?"

"Heaven has no clocks or calendars, and time will be no more [Revelation 10:6]."

"We must practice the Presence of God. Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always” [Matthew 28:20]. Remember, Christ is always near us."

"If God gives you responsibility for aging parents, seek what is best for them, not what is most convenient for you. And keep contact with them!"

"The greatest testimony to this dark world today would be a band of crucified and risen men and women, dead to sin and alive unto God, bearing in their bodies “the marks of the Lord Jesus” [Galatians 6:17 NKJV]."

"Some, who doubt that the Bible is the true Word of God, doubt it because they are unwilling to ascribe to God anything they cannot themselves achieve."

"In the struggle for righteousness, there is nothing more helpful than being passionately in tune with Christ through His Spirit and being passionately committed to doing His will. It has been said that in order to tune in to God’s voice, we must tune out this world’s noise."

"The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance."
