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 of circumstances and most bitter environment.
Billy GrahamIf we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God's mercy.
Billy GrahamA true Christian, living an obedient life, is a constant rebuke to those who accept the moral standards of this world.
Billy GrahamThose are decisions only the Lord will make. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have.
Billy GrahamThe farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control. My heart aches for America and its deceived people. The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance. In Jonah's day, Nineveh was the lone world superpower-wealthy, unconcerned, and self-centered. When the Prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed God's warning, people heard and repented. I believe the same thing can happen once again, this time in our nation. It's something I long for.
Billy GrahamArt and education may refine the taste, but they cannot purify the heart and regenerate the individual. His (Christโs) words were simple yet profound. And they shook people, provoking either happy acceptance or violent refection. People were never the same after listening to himโฆ.The people 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.
