God while there is yet time.”

and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship."
“Only God can give us a selfless love for others, as the Holy Spirit changes us from within. This is
one reason we must receive Christ, for apart from His Spirit we can never be freed from the chains

Teachings on Suffering.

“Someone asked me recently if I didn’t think God was unfair, allowing me to have
Parkinson’s and other medical problems when I have tried to serve him faithfully. I replied that I

key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer
to him in trust and confidence.”

promises that life will be perfect. He does not call His children to a playground, but to a
battleground.”
“Don’t conform to those who have been overwhelmed by the tide of immorality sweeping our
country!”

“The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is
dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the
midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of
happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which
our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will deeply root inside us and
give us inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be.
That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulas."

“Joy cannot be pursued. It comes from within. It is a state of being. It does not depend on
circumstances, but triumphs over circumstances. It produces a gentleness of spirit and a magnetic
personality.”

Powerful Messages of Christ on the Cross.

"I’ve become an old man now. And I’ve preached all over the world. And the older I get, the
more I cling to that hope that I started with many years ago, and proclaimed it in many languages
to many parts of the world.”
That hope he speaks of so passionately, is the powerful message of Christ and the cross."

“The cross tells us that God understands our sin and our suffering, for he took them upon himself
in the Person of Jesus Christ. From the cross God declares, 'I love you. I know the heartaches and
the sorrows and the pain that you feel. But I love you.'
The story does not end with the cross, for Easter points us beyond the tragedy of the cross to the
empty tomb. It tells us that there is hope for eternal life, for Christ has conquered evil and death
and hell . Yes, there is hope.”

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life” ( John 3:16 ). Just as I am, All is grace.

“I’ve known the thrill of winning a tough ball game and of winning a golf match on the last hole.
But to me the biggest thrill is to win the big one—the spiritual battle of life."
God's Grace and Forgiveness.

"People put a person who is publicized a little bit on a pedestal. I don’t belong there. I belong in
the gutter with all the sinners that have been saved by grace. I’m a sinner saved by the grace of
God."
"You don’t have to know much when you come to Christ. You don’t have to know the whole
Gospel. You don’t have to know the Bible. You just come like you are."

"We cannot walk as we ought to walk; we cannot rise to our intended stature under God until we
receive divine pardon and forgiveness."

"We are looking for a universal solution to our problems, but the cross presents itself in the midst
of our dilemma as our only hope. Here we find the justice of God in perfect satisfaction—the
mercy of God extended to the sinner, the love of God covering every need, the power of God for
every emergency, the glory of God for every occasion. Here is power enough to change the
world."

"The great question of our time is, 'Will we be motivated by materialistic philosophy or by
spiritual power?'"

"Salvation is an act of God. It is initiated by God, wrought by God, and sustained by God."

"When people walk by here and see the name Billy Graham and some kid yells out, “Who in the
world was Billy Graham? What rock group did he play for?” They’ll be answered with, “No,
he was a preacher of the Gospel.” And they might explain the Gospel to them and many people
may find Christ in that."

"And how many of you are trying to put the puzzles of life together in your life, in your marriage,
in your business, in your school, in your work, with your friends? Life is a big puzzle, and you
haven’t found a way to put it all together yet. Jesus Christ can do it for you, if you’ll let Him."

"In one bold stroke, forgiveness obliterates the past and permits us to enter the land of new
beginnings."

"When God forgives us and purifies us of our sin, He also forgets it. Forgiveness results in God
dropping the charges against us."

"The will of God will never take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us."
"Don’t waste your life, and don’t be satisfied with anything less than God’s plan."

“The great comfort in knowing that angels minister to believers in Christ is that God Himself
sends them to us.”

"We all live under grace and do the best we can."

“Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction
and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly
what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have
exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We
have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We
have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power
and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have
polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh
God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!"

Faith.

"When I stepped on this platform last night—I’d never been on this platform before—I didn’t
get down and examine it to see if it would hold me up. I accepted by faith that the carpenters that
built it, built it to hold a man. And by faith you receive Christ in the same way. You totally commit
yourself. You say, “Lord, I’m not trusting anything else to save my soul except Jesus.”

"To suffer for the faith is not a penalty; it is a privilege."

"In Him and Him alone can we find the strength, the stability, and certainty for tomorrow. Christ
alone can bring truth to the mind, cleansing to the heart, and power to the will."

"Faith points us beyond our problems to the hope we have in Christ."

"The secret strength of a nation is found in the faith that abides in the hearts and homes of the
country."

"Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in your
life."
"Without the “fuel” of the Bible, prayer, and Christian fellowship, our faith grows cold."

"The Bible clearly says that faithfulness and persecution often go hand in hand."
“Your faith and hope are in God.”

“He lives in the hearts of those who trust in Him. Our confidence in life after death comes from
these very truths.”

“I'm in a win-win playoff." Response of a Christian dying of cancer at thirty on the prospect of
miraculous healing. ”

“Strengthen your commitment to Christ—now. Don’t wait until the storms of temptation, or
sickness, or old age threaten to blow you off-course; now is the time to strengthen your faith.”

The Glory of God. (Thanksgiving).

"Let us pause during the next few days this Thanksgiving season and give thanks to God for all
that He had done for us as Americans. From Maine to California, from Minnesota to Mississippi,
let us honor, glorify, and give thanks to God for His manifold blessings."

"Look up on a starry night, and you will see the majesty and power of an infinite Creator."

"Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! I shall
be more alive then than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the
presence of God."

"Our voices, our service, and our abilities are to be employed, primarily, for the glory of God."

"If you have been trying to limit God—stop it! Don’t try to confine Him or His works to any
single place or sphere. You wouldn’t try to limit the ocean."

"Envy and greed starve on a steady diet of thanksgiving."

"Be grateful and you won’t grumble. Grumble and you won’t be grateful."
“People, especially the young, wanted to hear about God and not man.”

"I want to give God all the glory and all the praise for what has been accomplished in my life and
those of my family and associates. I look forward to the day when I can see Jesus face-to-face and
lay at his feet any honor I've received, because he deserves it all."

Dangers of Sin.

"Every manifestation of evil is the result of basic sin—sin that has remained unchanged since the
moment it first entered the human race.

"Evil is real—but so is God’s power and love."

“Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American
lifestyle.”

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

“Only the Lord Jesus can redeem the soul that is steeped in guilt and shame. This baggage weighs
us down until we accept Jesus’ gift—the gift that liberates souls from sin’s power.”

“Sin then is not a toy with which to play but a terror to be shunned.”

“As long as Satan is loose in the world and our hearts are dominated by his evil passions, it will
never be easy or popular to be a follower of Christ.”

“Man suppresses the truth, mixes it with error, and develops the religions of the world.”

“Man seeks to excuse himself of sin, but God seeks to convict him of it and to save him from it.
Sin is no amusing toy—it is a terror to be shunned! Learn, then, what constitutes sin in the eyes of
God!”

“The only sin God cannot forgive is the sin of rejecting Christ. Turn to Him in repentance and
faith—and He will forgive.”

“Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one
force is greater—the love of God.”

“Neither the devil nor the world, nor even our own evil heart can compel us to sin. It must be by
our own consent and will.”

“The devil will try to discourage you, to divert you; he will seek to dilute your testimony; he will
attempt anything to destroy your relationship to Christ and your influence upon others.”

“We have largely lost sight of the holiness and purity of God today. This is one reason why we
tolerate sin so easily.”

“If evil were not made to appear attractive, there would be no such thing as temptation. It is in the
close similarity between good and evil, right and wrong, that the danger lies.”

“Today . . . when Satan worship is increasing at an alarming rate, we had better be aware of him,
his origin, his aims, his abilities, and his limitations.”

“Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy
when all goes smoothly to lose our sense of balance and perspective.”

“Students today want to know about the devil, about witchcraft, about the occult. Many people do
not know they are turning to Satan. They are being deluded.”

“From compromise to deceit is a small step.”

“Man cannot control himself, and if he will not be controlled by Jesus Christ, then he will be
controlled by Satan.”

God's Word and Evangelism (Preaching the Gospel of

Christ).

"Every time I read the Bible, any part of the Bible—I don’t care where I open up—it speaks to me.
It’s a living book."

"The Bible is not an option; it is a necessity. You cannot grow spiritually strong without it."

"The whole Bible is a love story. It’s a love story between God and man. God loves you!"

"Now the Gospel of Christ has no meaning unless it is applied to our fellow man who hurts and is
in need."
"The Bible is the only book in the world that predicts the future. The Bible is more modern than
tomorrow morning’s newspaper."

"God never leads us to do anything that is contrary to the Bible."

"I have read the last page of the Bible. It is all going to turn out all right."

"The Internal Revenue Service wants a record of how you spend your money, but that is nothing
compared to the books God is keeping."

“Reading God’s Word and meditating on its truth will have a purifying effect upon your mind and
heart, and will be demonstrated in your life. Let nothing take the place of this daily privilege.”

“Every area of our lives is to be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. And that means the searchlight
of God’s Word must penetrate every corner of our lives.”

“But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like
eagles.”

“Preach with authority. The authority for us is the Word of God. Preach with simplicity . . . Preach
with urgency . . . heaven and hell are at stake. Preach for a decision.”

“God’s followers need to know the truth He sets forth in His Word so that we can confidently
discern between His truth and Satan’s lies.”

“Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News.”

“Jesus tells us not to be misled by the voices of strangers. There are so many strange voices being
heard in the religious world of our day. We must compare what they say with the Word of God.”

“I’m not a great preacher, and I don’t claim to be a great preacher . . . I’m an ordinary preacher,
just communicating the Gospel in the best way I know how.”

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

“We need to fortify ourselves with the Word of God.”

“The Bible differentiates clearly between true faith and mere religiosity.”

“The Bible tells us that the state of the world will grow darker as we near the end of the age.”

“Idolatrous beliefs have eroded the foundations of truth. Whether ancient or modern, all have
posed alternatives to the biblical way of approaching God.”
“Repentance is mentioned seventy times in the New Testament . . . the Bible says God commands
repentance . . . it is a command . . . God says, “Repent! Or perish!"

"The message I preach hasn't changed. Circumstances have changed. Problems have changed, but
deep inside man has not changed, and the gospel hasn't changed."

"The Bible teaches that we are always to work for peace and pray for peace. We are to do
everything we can."

"The great commandment is that we preach the gospel to every creature, but neither God nor the
Bible says anything about forcing it down people's throats."

“We need to encourage new believers to feed on God’s Word—it is nourishment for the soul."

“We are the Bibles the world is reading; we are the creeds the world is needing; we are the
sermons the world is heeding.”

"The message I preach hasn't changed. Circumstances have changed. Problems have changed, but
deep inside man has not changed, and the gospel hasn't changed."

“Evangelism, instead of being a normal part of careful and regular expository preaching, with the
twin effect on the consciences of the unconverted and on the growth in grace of Christians,
becomes a special, dramatic activity. This leads to an orientation of church life away from
Scripture, and as scriptural and non-scriptural duties become confused, the main duties which God
requires of Christians and ministers are overshadowed."

Prayer.

"In the Bible God speaks to us; in prayer we speak to God. Both are essential."

"Prayer serves a dual purpose: the blessing of man and the glory of God."

"No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying."

dark and hopeless it may seem."

hits."

will finally come to pass."

“By a simple prayer of faith, you can give your life to Him today.”

and give it to me right now!”

“ We . . . do not cease to pray for you. COLOSSIANS 1:9.”

“Make it your goal to build strong foundations for your life—foundations constructed from prayer
and the truths of God’s Word."

“Prayer is not just asking. It is listening for God’s orders."

“The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.”

Christianity and Christian Living.

"Christianity is not a white man’s religion. And don’t ever let anybody tell you that it’s white or
black. Christ belongs to all people! He belongs to the whole world!"

“A real Christian is the one who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.”

"You can be born in a garage, but that doesn’t make you an automobile. You can be born in a
Christian home, but that doesn’t make you a Christian."

"Living the Christian life means striving for holiness."

"I can’t live the Christian life alone. I’m a failure. Billy Graham cannot live the Christian life. I’ve
tried. I can’t do it. But with the help of the Word of God and the help of the Holy Spirit, I can live
the Christian life. But He lives it through me."
"We aren’t only called to become Christians; we are called to be Christians."

"The Christian’s journey through life isn’t a sprint but a marathon."

"The regeneration of the individual is much more needed than the revolution of society."

"An atheist only sees a hopeless end to life. But the Christian sees an endless hope."

"The marvel is not so much that Christians are happy, but that they are not happier. We need to
awaken to a new consciousness of our divine origin. Born of God—what a heritage!"

"If Christianity is important at all, it is all important. If it is anything at all, it is everything. It is

either the most vital thing in your life, or it isn’t worth bothering with."

"The Holy Spirit can rejuvenate a tired Christian, captivate an indifferent believer, and empower a
dry church."

"The way we live is often more convincing than the words we say."

"All you need is God. If you’re totally surrendered and totally dedicated and say, “Lord, here’s my
hand with all I’ve got,” God has a place for you. He can use you."

"As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God."

"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."

"The Christian is to take his place in society with moral courage to stand up for that which is right,
just, and honorable.

"Becoming a Christian is the work of a moment; being a Christian is the work of a lifetime."

"God doesn’t comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters."

"Christians who are strong in the faith grow as they accept whatever God allows to enter their
lives."

"Some shy away from Christianity because they know they cannot live perfect lives. But
according to the Bible, the Christian life is not for perfect people. It’s for people who are
imperfect, like you and me. Jesus said, “I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance.” A Christian is not one who is sinless, but one who has had sin forgiven."

“Sincerity is the biggest part of selling anything -- including the Christian plan of salvation."
“The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of
praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless.”

religion.”

"Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion — it is a daily process whereby
you grow to become more like Christ."

“I don't want to see religious bigotry in any form. It would disturb me if there was a wedding
between the religious fundamentalists and the political right. The hard right has no interest in
religion except to manipulate it."

“I feel sorry for the man who has never known the bracing thrill of taking a stand and sticking to it
fearlessly. Moral courage has rewards that timidity can never imagine. Like a shot of adrenaline, it
floods the spirit with vitality"

“Becoming a Christian takes only a single step; being a Christian means walking with Christ the
rest of your life."

“What do others see when they look at your life? What do those who know you best say about you
—your spouse, your children, your friends, your coworkers? Do they see inconsistencies in any
area of your life—money, relationships, speech, possessions?"

"The Spirit of God takes the Word of God and makes the child of God."

Wisdom of God and the Resurrection.

"We have a tremendous amount of knowledge. We have universities by the scores and hundreds
and thousands throughout the world. But we’ve lost wisdom, in the midst of all of our
knowledge."
"What is your story? Be ready to share it when the Lord gives you the opportunity."

your mind."

“Man cannot control himself, and if he will not be controlled by Jesus Christ, then he will be
controlled by Satan.”

“The most important events in human history were the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

“Jesus Christ is God in human flesh, and the story of His life, death, and resurrection is the only
Good News the world will ever hear.”

dust of death and opens the way to new life.”

“Without the resurrection, the cross is meaningless.”

“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.”

“Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.”

“Bible teaching about the Second Coming of Christ was thought of as “doomsday” preaching. But
not anymore. It is the only ray of hope that shines as an ever brightening beam in a darkening
world.”

“God’s strength is made perfect in weakness. The weaker I became, the more powerful became the
preaching.”

“For centuries mankind has been on an incredible journey, taking him across every generation and
through every conceivable experience in his search for God.”

"My calling is to preach the love of God and the forgiveness of God and the fact that He does
forgive us. That's what the cross is all about, what the resurrection is all about, that's the gospel."

"Human nature is the same the world over, and when the gospel of Christ is preached in simplicity
and power, there is a response in the human soul."

“The words 'believe' and 'repent' are now largely replaced by other terms such as "Give your life
to Christ', 'Open your heart to Christ', 'Do it now', 'Surrender completely', 'Decide for Christ', etc.,
and in similar language those who profess conversion are sometimes represented as having 'given
in'."

“Can you see God? You haven't seen him? I've never seen the wind. I see the effects of the wind,
but I've never seen the wind. There's a mystery to it."

“Mark my word, the day is coming when it’s going to cost to live for Jesus Christ. We are, more
