Organized Christianity that fails to make a disturbance is dead.
G. Campbell Morgan

Dwight L. Moody

Joyce Meyer
Self-centered indulgence, pride and a lack of shame over sin are now emblems of the American lifestyle.
Billy Graham
Trying to know God and serve Him before we come to love Him is exhausting.
Beth Moore
The knowledge of God’s Word without love is a destructive force because it puffs us up with pride and legalism.
John Bevere
The organized church sometimes puts boundaries on us the Bible doesn't. So I'm living my life for an audience of one. I live my life to please God. Some people won't understand, but I don't give an account to some people.
Anne Graham Lotz
Heaven is full of answers for which nobody ever bothered to ask.
Billy Graham
... something wholly new in religious thought. All other heavens have been gardens, dreamlands: passivities, more or less aimless. Even to the majority among ourselves, heaven is a siesta and not a city.The heaven of Christianity is different from all other heavens, because the religion of Christianity is different from all other religions. Christianity is the religion of cities. It moves among real things. Its sphere is the street, the market-place, the working life of the world... Try to restore the natural force of the expression - suppose John to have lived today and to have said 'I saw a new London.
Henry Drummond
Worship leader George Beverly Shea kidded Billy Graham that the latter would be unemployed in Heaven -- while Shea would still have a job leading worship.
Billy Graham
Pleasure can impact your happiness for better or worse, but it is not happiness.
James Randall Robison
Optimism is not fantasy. It hopes for the best reality without departing from it.
James Randall Robison

Beth Moore
A man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility. You soon detect mock humility.

Beth Moore
Pride is the archenemy of ministry.
Beth Moore
The evolution theory is one of the dumbest and most dangerous religion in history of humanity.

If one evil thought, if one evil word, if one evil action, deserves eternal damnation, how many hells, my friends, do every one of us deserve, whose whole lives have been one continued rebellion against God!
George Whitefield
We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God, because they must seem small to Him who sitteth on the circle of the earth. But if they are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare, they are large enough to touch His heart of love.
R.A. Torrey
Inevitably, Saul's faraway heart would turn to faraway actions.
Beth Moore
Pride keeps you from dealing with truth. It distorts your vision. You never change when you think everything is fine. Pride hardens your heart and dims the eyes of your understanding. It keeps you from the change of heart--repentance--that will set you free.
John Bevere
One reason sin flourishes is that it is treated like a cream puff instead of a rattlesnake.
Billy Sunday
Listen, I'm against sin. I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist, I've butt it as long as I've got a head, and I'll bite it as long as I've got a tooth. And when I'm old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.
Billy Sunday
When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
Billy Graham
Holding onto what was isn't healthy for what is.
Hannah Whitall Smith
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.
Billy Graham
You can enjoy anything if you make up your mind to.
Joyce Meyer
Being negative only makes a difficult journey more difficult. You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.
Joyce Meyer
People who cannot restrain their own baser instincts, who cannot treat one another with civility, are not capable of self-government... without virtue, a society can be ruled only by fear, a truth that tyrants understand all too well
Charles W. Colson
He lives who dies to win a lasting name.
Henry Drummond
End of Construction. Thank you 'for your patience. " Inscription on Ruth Bell Graham's grave -- inspired hy a road sign she saw.
Billy Graham
If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself.
Dwight L. Moody
Character is doing what you don't want to do but know you should do.
Joyce Meyer
was i leaving a life that, if snuffed out in a plane crash, would leave a sweet aroma representative of what matters most?
Andrew Palau
Many who read their Bibles make the great mistake of confining all their reading to certain portions of the Bible which they enjoy. In this way they get no knowledge of the Bible as a whole. They miss altogether many of the most important phases of Bible truth.
R.A. Torrey
The Bible is the Word of God: supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in valor, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, and then pass it on. Truly it is the Word of God. It brings into man the personality of God; it changes the man until he becomes the epistle of God. It transforms his mind, changes his character, takes him on from grace to grace, and gives him an inheritance in the Spirit. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and sups with him.
Smith Wigglesworth
A light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never overcome it.
John the Evangelist
I believe The Bible is the infallible inspired inerrant Word of The Living God and scientifically accurate in every detail.
Kent Hovind
If God did not reveal himself with word-by-wordprecision, then He has placed the revelation oftruth into the incompetent hands of fallen man.That would prove hopelessly imbecilic. He whorevealed Himself with exactness in “natural” creationchose the precise words, sentences and paragraphs to compile one Book in which we have His perfect Word.
Ron Susek
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (John 15:13).
John the Evangelist
No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends (John 15:13)
John the Evangelist
There is the prophetic ministry of promise born of the will of the Father and there is the prophetic ministry born of flesh and the will of man. Though both are conceived through a genuine desire to fulfil God's plan and promise, the one birthed by flesh must be maintained by flesh while the one birthed by the Spirit will be sustained by the Spirit. Flesh reproduces flesh and therefore speaks directly to the desires of man. Spirit reproduces spirit and therefore speaks forth the desire of God.
John Bevere
I would say much of religious heresy is the result of a misunderstanding of the basic nature of God. And once we have a proper understanding of God, then usually most of the areas of our life coincide with who God is and what He desires for each one of us.
Josh McDowell
The reason you don't like the Bible, you old sinner, is because it knows all about you.
Billy Sunday
The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
Dwight L. Moody
The mind is often an area where "people play around with sin".
Joyce Meyer
We're going to have to let truth scream louder to our souls than the lies that have infected us.
Beth Moore
If God's love encompasses the whole world and if everyone who does not believe in him will perish, then surely this question needs to be asked: When, after two thousand years, does God's plan kick in for the billion people he 'so loves' in China? Or for the 840 million in India? Or the millions in Japan, Afghanistan, Siberia, Egypt, Burma ·.. and on and on?Why would a God who 'so loved the world' reveal his message only to a tiny minority of the people on earth, leaving the majority in ignorance? Is it possible to believe that the Father of all Mankind would select as his Chosen People a small Middle Eastern nation, Israel, reveal His will exclusively to them, fight alongside them in their battles to survive, and only after their failure to reach out to any other group, update His plan for the world's salvation by sending His 'only begotten son,' not to the world but, once again, exclusively to Israel?
Charles Templeton
Although Jesus Christ was Himself the Creative Deity, by whom all things were made, as man He humbled Himself--set aside His divine prerogatives and walked this earth as man -- a perfect demonstration of what God intended man to be--the whole personality yielded to and occupied by God for Himself.
W. Ian Thomas
God does not save us to make us forget our heritage, but to complete it.
Beth Moore
The Bible will always be full of things you cannot understand, as long as you will not live according to those you can understand.
Billy Sunday
If God were to remove all evil from our world (but somehow leave human beings on the planet), it would mean that the essence of 'humanness' would be destroyed. We would become robots.Let me explain what I mean by this. If God eliminated evil by programming us to perform only good acts, we would lose this distinguishing mark - the ability to make choices. We would no longer be free moral agents. We would be reduced to the status of robots.Let's take this a step further. Robots do not love. God created us with the capacity to love. Love is based upon one's right to choose to love. We cannot force others to love us. We can make them serve us or obey us. But true love is founded upon one's freedom to choose to respond.
Billy Graham
Grace equals ability. God gives us grace to match our call. When we do our own thing, we do it on our own. When we follow His leading, He always supplies the grace and the energy to do what He's calling us to do.
Joyce Meyer
When God's goodness touches our lives, it's called "grace.
James Randall Robison
It is a great mistake to give a man who has not been convicted of sin, certain passages that were never meant for him. The Law is what he needs. Do not offer the consolation of the gospel until he sees and knows he is guilty before God. We must give enough of the Law to take away all self-righteousness. I pity the man who preaches only one side of the truth, always the gospel and never the Law.
D L Moody
The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.
Billy Sunday
It is impossible to believe anything into existence. The Gospel did not come into being because men believed it . . .The fact always precedes the faith.
Billy Graham
My job is to preach the Gospel, which has the power to change men’s lives from the inside out.
Billy Graham
The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environment. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears. The happiness for which our souls ache is one undisturbed by success or failure, one which will deeply root inside us and give us inward relaxation, peace, and contentment, no matter what the surface problems may be. That kind of happiness stands in need of no outward stimulas.
Billy Graham
