Quotes from Billy Graham

I admit that I have gotten slack about posting to this blog. I wanted to average one post each week and 51 posts was close enough. Let's start 2010 with some advice in quotes from Billy Graham:

Read the Bible. Work hard and honestly. And don't complain.


Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.

Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.

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

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

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

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.

Believers, look up - take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.

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

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

I've read the last page of the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.

If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.

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

It is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.

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

Nothing can bring a real sense of security into the home except true love.

Prayer is simply a two-way conversation between you and God.

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

The framers of our Constitution meant we were to have freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.

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.

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.

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

The word 'romance,' according to the dictionary, means excitement, adventure, and something extremely real.


Romance should last a lifetime.

There is nothing wrong with men possessing riches. The wrong comes when riches possess men.

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

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.

You're born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there's a loophole.

There is nothing wrong with noticing an attractive woman. The problem occurs when you turn around for a second look.

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

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

Only those who want everything done for them are bored.

My home is in Heaven. I`m just traveling through this world.
