IM Billy Graham (1918-2018)

Jesus invited us, not to a picnic, but to a pilgrimage; 
not to a frolic, but to a fight.  He offered us, not an 
excursion, but an execution.  Our Savior said that 
we would have to be ready to die to self, sin, and 
the world. 
     --Billy Graham (1918-2018) 
      (In Martin H. Manser's _The Westminster Collection 
       of Christian Quotations_ [2001], "Discipleship")

If I didn't have spiritual faith, I would be a pessimist. But I'm an optimist. I've read the last page in the Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.--Billy Graham

Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short God and His will for us.--Billy Graham

No matter how hard we try words simply cannot express the horror, the shock, and the revulsion we all feel over what took place in this nation on Tuesday morning. September 11 will go down in our history as a day to remember.--Billy Graham, Speech, "Nat ional Day of Prayer and Remembrance" (14 September 2001)

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope... --Billy Graham, Speech, "National Day of Prayer anRemembrance" (14 September 2001)
