“Instead of clinging to the only Lifeboat that can save, we have tossed overboard biblical truths in the name of [compromise], living on the edge of life, like the man who rides the parameter of a hurricane, daring it to sweep him away.”

“Don’t argue with [a professor], but test everything he says in the light of God’s Word.”

Billy Graham
“To a sinner, a righteous person is an oddity and an abnormality. A Christian’s goodness is a rebuke to the wicked; his being right-side up is a reflection upon the worldling’s inverted position.”

“A call for national and individual repentance is urgently needed today, or judgment is certain to fall.”

“Death is not the end of the road—it is merely a gateway to eternal life beyond the grave.”

“Surrendering to Christ is like signing your name to a blank check and letting the Lord put in the amount.”

“We will be judged according to our ability. The retired couple who count the offering every Sunday, never divulging the amount anyone in the congregation contributes, will not be tested in the same way as the millionaire who wants an inscription on the stained glass window, so everyone will know who donated it. Some of the most severe tests will be given to the [preachers] for the way in which they handled the Word of God. There will be no reward for leading others astray in lifestyle or in doctrine through false teaching.”

“Bitterness is anger gone sour, an attitude of deep discontent that poisons our souls and destroys our peace.”

Billy Graham
“It is Satan’s purpose to steal the seed of truth from your heart by sending distracting thoughts . . . The difference between a Christian and a non-Christian is: though they both may have good and evil thoughts, Christ gives His followers strength to select the right rather than the wrong.”

“God’s will is that we would be righteous in our living. God is holy, and the whole scheme of redemption has holiness for its goal.”

Billy Graham
“Much of the world believes little or nothing. People are broad but shallow. Agnosticism, anxiety, emptiness, and meaninglessness have gripped much of the world—and even the church . . . By contrast, our Pilgrim forebears stand as shining examples of men who were narrow but deep, certain of what they believed, unswerving in their loyalty,
and passionately dedicated to the God they trusted, and for whom they would willingly have died.”

“What greater glory can we anticipate than to stand before the throne of God, to humble ourselves before His great and incomparable majesty.”

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.”
