America's founding fathers did not intend to take religion out of education.

Because of this attitude, secular education is stumbling and floundering.

Heaven doesn't make this life less important; it makes it more important.

I am constantly concerned about being quoted in the press and perhaps saying the wrong thing or having what I say misinterpreted and bringing reproach to the name of Christ. People do not come to hear what Billy Graham has to say; they want to hear what God has to say. 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.
