Billy Graham

Throughout my ministry, I have sought to build bridges between Jews and Christians. I will continue to strongly support all future efforts to advance understanding and mutual respect between our communities.

I think we are trying to run the space age with horse and buggy moral and spiritual equipment. Technology you see has no morals and with no moral restraints man will destroy himself ecologically, militarily, or in some other way. Only God can give a person moral restraints and spiritual strength.

God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with.

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

Gratitude is one of the greatest Christian graces ingratitude, one of the most vicious sins.

The only thing I could say for sure is that hell means separation from God. We are separated from his light, from his fellowship. That is going to be hell.

People have become so empty that they can't even entertain themselves. They have to pay other people to amuse them, to make them laugh, to try to make them feel warm and happy and comfortable for a few minutes, to try to lose that awful, frightening, hollow feeling--that terrible, dreaded feeling of being lost and alone.

Churchgoers are like coals in a fire. When they cling together, they keep the flame aglow when they separate, they die out.

There are nine orders of angels, to wit, angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim, and seraphim.

Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.

A real Christian is a person who can give his pet parrot to the town gossip.

God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion - it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

We are not cisterns made for hoarding, we are channels made for sharing.

I think when a person has been found guilty of rape he should be castrated. That would stop him pretty quick.

God's angels often protect his servants from potential enemies.

Give me five minutes with a person's checkbook, and I will tell you where their heart is.

The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless.

Man has two great spiritual needs. One is for forgiveness. The other is for goodness.

The men who followed Him were unique in their generation. They turned the world upside down because their hearts had been turned right side up. The world has never been the same.

I just want to lobby for God.

If we had more hell in the pulpit, we would have less hell in the pew.

Only those who want everything done for them are bored.

Tears shed for self are tears of weakness, but tears shed for others are a sign of strength.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.
