Billy Graham

We are like a people under [a] sentence of death, waiting for the date to be set. We sense that something is about to happen.We know that things cannot go on as they are. History has reached an impasse. We are now on a collision course. Something is about to give.

Believers need the gift of discernment, or at least respect for the opinions of those who have it . . .believers are to test the various spirits and doctrines that abound.Most of all we are to test them against thestandard of the Word of God.

Evil is real__ut so is God__ power and love.

Sin__lain, old-fashioned sin, the self-same sin which caused Adam__ downfall__s what we are all suffering from today, and it will do us far more harm than good to try to dress it up with a fancy, more attractive label.

One of our most deep-seated fears is that we might be called an __utsider._ This fear has led us down the road to conformity, has put the imprint of __he organization man_ on our souls, and has robbed us of originality of thought, individuality of personality, and constructive action.

Christians need to take a stand for what is right and not let evil go unchallenged.

The tragedy of sin reached its crescendo when God in Christ became sin . . .He was offering Himself as the sacrifice required by the justice of God if man was to be redeemed.

The underlying principle of all Satan__ tactics is deception. He is a crafty and clever camouflager.

Sin lies at the heart of chaotic world conditions as we now know them and as they have existed through the centuries.

We are to renounce the evil influence of the world, the flesh, and the devil. There can be no parleying, bargaining, compromise, or hesitation. Christ demands total loyalty.

The study [of Revelation] instructs us not only about the storms to come, but how to endure and come through them with great victory.

There is less teaching about sin, and very little warning of judgment.

The Scripture teaches that popularity with the world means death. Satan__ most effective tool is conformity and compromise. He is aware that one man standing in the midst of a pagan peoplecan move more people in the direction of God than thousands of insipid professors of religion.

Revenge easily descends into an endless cycle of hate and violence. The Bible says never repay evil with evil.

It is entirely possible to be deeply sorry because of the devastation which sin has wrought in our lives__nd yet not repent.

Man seeks to excuse himself of sin, but God seeks to convict him of it and to save him from it. Sin is no amusing toy__t is a terror to be shunned! Learn, then, what constitutes sin in the eyes of God!

The devil has successfully fooled many churches, convincing them to follow the world. Biblical standards have been compromised by convenient social theories.

Only the Holy Spirit can open our eyes. Only He can convict us of the depth of our sin, and only He can convince us of the truth of the Gospel.
