“Christianity is a Gospel of crisis. It proclaims unmistakably that this world’s days are numbered.”

Billy Graham
“[Every] believer will receive a reward for his works. The New Testament teaches these rewards are called “crowns.” We will surely be surprised to note who receives the crowns and who doesn’t. The lowliest servant may sparkle with more jewels than the philanthropist who endowed the church and whose name is engraved on the plaque in the narthex.”

“The happiest people I know are separated followers of Jesus Christ.
They are not dependent on artificial stimulants. They do not resort to sick, dirty jokes. They do not abuse their bodies to relax their minds.”

“How can you keep your mind from wandering when you pray? Remember what you are doing: talking to God. If you had the opportunity to talk with the president, I doubt if your mind would wander. [We] have the privilege of talking to someone far greater: the King of kings!”

“The wheels of [God’s] mercy and justice move quietly and silently, but they do move.”

“Many parents preach to their children but do not set good examples. Parents want the children to do as they say, not as they do.”

Billy Graham
“Faith literally means “to give up, surrender, or commit.” Faith is complete confidence.”

“A true messenger lives a burdened life. If he is the Lord’s vessel, he carries in his heart a burden for souls none can share but those who know it firsthand.”
