Billy Graham

You will never understand who you are until you understand who God is.

I think it is a sin to look at another person as inferior to yourself because of race or because of ethnic background and I think the greatest thing to do is to pray that God will give you love for them and I do.

Jesus made everything so simple and we have made it so complicated. He spoke to the people in short sentences and everyday words, illustrating His messages with never-to-be forgotten stories.

In the founding era of our country, it was not organized religion but personal faith that brought focus and unified the early leadership-maybe an unspoken faith in God, and certain values that came with that faith. So in that sense, we cannot discount, in my judgment, religious faith in politics.

There is not a flower that opens, not a seed that falls into the ground, and not an ear of wheat that nods on the end of its stalk in the wind that does not preach and proclaim the greatness and the mercy of God to the whole world.

In my travels I have found that those who keep Heaven in view remain serene and cheerful in the darkest day. If the glories of Heaven were more real to us, if we lived less for material things and more for things eternal and spiritual, we would be less easily disturbed by this present life.

Today, we come together to confess our need of God. Those perpetrators who took us on to tear us apart, it has worked the other way. It has backfired; it has brought us together.

If America is to survive, we must elect more God-centered men and women to public office; individuals who will seek Divine guidance in the affairs of state.

Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will.

Christ alone can bring lasting peace - peace with God - peace among men and nations - and peace within our hearts.

Our faith becomes stronger as we express it; a growing faith is a sharing faith

On our knees we are the most powerful force on earth

Often the only thing a child can remember about an adult in later years, when he or she is grown, is whether or not that person was kind to him or her.

Remember: the Bible is our only authoritative source of information about Heaven.

I [will] not go to heaven because I am a preacher. I am going to heaven entirely on the merit of the work of Christ.

The moment we take our last breath on earth, we take our first in heaven.

The Bible says that as long as we are here on earth, we are strangers in a foreign land. There are enemies to be conquered before we return home. This world is not our home; our citizenship is in heaven.

The most thrilling thing about heaven is that Jesus Christ will be there. I will see Him face to face. Jesus Christ will meet us at the end of life's journey.

The very practice of reading [the Bible] will have a purifying effect upon your mind and heart. Let nothing take the place of this daily exercise.

Salvation is an act of God. It is initiated by God, wrought by God, and sustained by God.

Heaven is real and hell is real, and eternity is but a breath away.
