Billy Graham

Billy Graham (1918–2018) was one of the most influential Christian evangelists of the 20th century. He preached to over 210 million people in more than 185 countries. His messages focused on salvation through Jesus Christ, personal repentance, and living a life aligned with Scripture. Graham’s legacy lies not only in his mass crusades but also in his clarity, humility, and commitment to Biblical truth.

His writings and sermons emphasize that faith is not static—it's meant to grow and impact every corner of life.

"I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man."

"The cross has become a symbol in much of the Western world, misused by many rock stars and others who do not comprehend its significance."

"I'm grateful for the opportunities God gave me to minister to people in high places; people in power have spiritual and personal needs like everyone else, and often they have no one to talk to."

"One response was given by the innkeeper when Mary and Joseph wanted to find a room where the Child could be born. The innkeeper was not hostile; he was not opposed to them, but his inn was crowded; his hands were full; his mind was preoccupied. This§ is the answer that millions are giving today. Like a Bethlehem innkeeper, they cannot find room for Christ. All the accommodations in their hearts are already taken up by other crowding interests. Their response is not atheism. It is not defiance. It is preoccupation and the feeling of being able to get on reasonably well without Christianity."

"I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected."

"Christmas means a great deal to me. I was reared in a family that celebrated Christmas to some extent, but I married into a family that celebrated Christmas in a big way. And my wife always made a big thing of Christmas for the children. We have five children, and we had a terrific time at Christmas."

"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."

"When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened."

"As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of 'easy believism.' There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven."
