“We . . . do not cease to pray for you. COLOSSIANS 1:9”

Billy Graham
“Faith in Christ is voluntary. A person cannot be coerced, bribed, or tricked into trusting Jesus. God will not force His way into your life. The Holy Spirit will do everything possible to disturb you, draw you, love you—but finally it is your personal decision.”

Billy Graham
“Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.”

“Men and women do make decisions wherever the Gospel is proclaimed; whether publicly or privately, some say yes, some say no, and some procrastinate. No one ever hears the Gospel proclaimed without making some kind of decision!”

Billy Graham
“I hope the day will never come when the church abandons the “class meeting” and the prayer service . . .The old-fashioned “testimony” meeting should be revived, for through this medium we can share with others our faith and triumphs as well as our needs and mistakes.”

Billy Graham
“The church should not reflect pop culture but portray godly attributes. The church should not seek pleasures but seek after God.”

Billy Graham
“Don’t be deceived by Satan and his lies. Instead, stay close to Christ—because the closer you are to Him, the farther away you are from the devil.”
