Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Thousands of people have entered churches without discovering a vital experience with Jesus Christ. The substitutes have been handed them in the guise of religious rituals, good works, community effort, or social reform . . .none of which can gain a person a right relationship with God."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"There will come a time when people hungering for the truth will seek it where it is supposedly disseminated, such as books and churches, but they will not hear the Word of the Lord. Instead of receiving a message to satisfy their spiritual longings, they will hear a sermon on some current political or social problem, or a sermonette on art and literature. And so they wander from one place to another, going from hope to despair, and eventually giving up."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Unless the church quickly recovers the authoritative biblical message, we may witness the spectacle of millions of Christians going outside the institutional church to find spiritual food."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"What right does any church have even attempting to approve of lifestyles or certain acts for which God prescribed the death penalty in the Old Testament?"
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"There are many who sit in some churches week after week, year after year, without hearing the whole Gospel and knowing what it is to be born again. They hear a gospel which is incomplete, and consequently not good news at all."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Statistics indicate that the church is rapidly losing in the population explosion. There are fewer Christians per capita every day."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The church has lost its ability to discipline members who live openly in sin. Consequently, we have lost our witness in the community."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The church is a storehouse of spiritual food whereby the inner man is fed, nourished, and developed into maturity. If it fails, it is not fulfilling its purpose as a church."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"It could be said that going to church will not make one a Christian. But . . . refusing to fellowship with believers will not make you one either."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"I hope the day will never come when the church abandons the “class meeting” and the prayer service . . . The old-fashioned “testimony” meeting should be revived, for through this medium we can share with others our faith and triumphs as well as our needs and mistakes."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Down through the centuries the church has contributed more than any other single agency in lifting social standards to new heights."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The church isn’t just a particular building or congregation but the spiritual fellowship of all who belong to Jesus Christ. If we belong to Christ, we also belong to each other."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Many churches have molded their programs around the community—not the Word of God."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The Lord did not design the church to cater to people’s needs—the Lord breathed life into the church to proclaim His truths."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"It is unbelief that shuts the door to heaven and opens it to hell. It is unbelief that rejects the Word of God and refuses Christ as Savior. It is unbelief that causes men to turn a deaf ear to the Gospel."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes

Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes

Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Among those Christians to whom hell means little, Calvary means less."
