I pray that the following quotes by Billy Graham will bless you as you walk with Jesus today.1
“Do you want to know what God’s will is for you? It is for you to become more and more like Christ. This is spiritual maturity, and if you make this your goal, it will change your life.”
“The devil will tremble when you pray.”
“We should say nothing that we would not wish to say in His Presence. We should do nothing that we would not do in His Presence.”
“Nothing seems to satisfy. Not politics, not education, not material goods. Some who refuse to turn their hearts toward God have created the New Age movement, with all of its aberrations. This is actually not new but only the latest attempt by man to place something other than Christ inside himself in a futile attempt to satisfy spiritual longings.”
“Each of us has our reference point and as a Christian the reference point by which I measure my life and thought is the Bible.”
“Thousands of Christians compromise their faith in Jesus Christ by denying Him. Even some clergymen neglect or deliberately refuse to close a public prayer in the name of Jesus for fear of offending an unbeliever. They cannot endure the persecution that may follow an acknowledgment of Jesus Christ.”
“We don’t need to be crippled any longer by the disease of sin—because God has provided the cure.”
“If it is Christian, it will be Bible-centered.”
“Millions today want salvation, but on their own terms. They want to come their own way, and so we have hundreds of schemes and plans devised by men to regain paradise.”
“Evangelism is not an optional accessory to our life. It is the heartbeat of all that we are called to be and do. It is the commission of the church that gives meaning to all else that is undertaken in the name of Christ.”
“Our dress, our posture, our actions should all be for the honor and glory of Christ. Much of our talk as Christians is secular, not spiritual. It is easy to fall into the conversational conformity of the world and spend an evening discussing politics, new cars, and the latest entertainment. We often forget that we are to edify one another with holy conversation and that our conversation should be on heavenly, and not exclusively on earthly things.”
“Allow the resurrected Christ to allocate your time as His own . . . and have complete right-of-way throughout your being.”
“Sometimes I feel so helpless and inadequate, and wonder if I have done enough to make the Gospel clear. But I also know that only the Holy Spirit can open others’ eyes to the truth.”
“The book of Job does not set out to answer the problem of suffering, but to proclaim a God so great that no answer is needed.”
“Comfort each other and edify one another. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:11 It is an undeniable fact that usually those who have suffered most are best able to comfort others who are passing through suffering. They know what it is to suffer, and they understand more than others what a suffering person is experiencing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. They are able to empathize as well as sympathize with the afflictions of others because of what they have experienced in their own lives. Our sufferings may be rough and hard to bear, but they teach us lessons that in turn equip and enable us to help others. Our attitude toward suffering should not be, ‘Grit your teeth and bear it,’ hoping it will pass as quickly as possible. Rather, our goal should be to learn all we can from what we are called upon to endure, so that we in turn can ‘comfort each other and edify one another.’”
“When Jesus was tempted, He didn’t debate the devil. He quoted Scripture: ‘It is written . . . It is written . . . It is written’ (Matthew 4:4–10 NKJV). And each time the devil was defeated.”
“Many churches have their eyes on the culture instead of on Christ. Many pastors preach on common unity instead of calling the community to repent.”
“No one can grasp the love of the God of the universe without knowing His Son.”
“It is good to tell people what we mean, but it is infinitely better to show them. People are looking for a demonstration, not an explanation.”
“Though the cross repels, it also attracts. It possesses a magnetic quality.”
“Look up on a starry night, and you will see the majesty and power of an infinite Creator.”
“We can’t flee from temptation in our own strength—but God will give us the strength we need, if we’ll only seek it. A friend of mine says, ‘When the devil knocks, I just send Jesus to the door!’”
