“Ask God to give you a greater hunger for Himself and a deeper desire for His fellowship. Then be honest about whatever is keeping you from prayer, and ask God to help you deal with it.”

“God undertook the most dramatic rescue operation in cosmic history. He determined to save the human race from self-destruction, and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to salvage and redeem them. The work of man’s redemption was accomplished at the cross.”

“Sometimes I think the truly committed Christian is in conflict with society around him more than any other person.

Billy Graham
“Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide. Where hatred rules, love is crowded out. Where selfishness rules, there love cannot dwell.”

“Christianity has become so respectable and so conventional that it is now insipid. The salt has lost its flavor.”

“The cross shows the seriousness of our sin—
but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.”
