“In order to get to heaven, Jesus said that you must be converted. I didn’t say it—Jesus said it!”

“Pleasures are the things that appeal to our flesh and to our lust. But joy is something else. Joy runs deep.”

Billy Graham
“Drinking and other forms of body-wrecking pleasures are signs of weakness rather than manliness. It takes a better man to live a clean life—free from the stimulants, depressants, and drugs—than to be artificially [stimulated].”

Billy Graham

“Perversion is considered a biological abnormality rather than a sin. These things are contrary to the teaching of God’s Word. And God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin and the Bible says God is going to judge it.”
