Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Do you know what nearly all the sociologists say today in their study of young people? The greatest problem facing young people today is not sex—it is boredom."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Our youth are desperately searching for purpose and meaning in their lives. They are searching for fulfillment . . . I believe that a return to biblical conversion, faith, and conviction would have a great impact in our day."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Where students talk about being independent and on their own, you will find them practicing the most rigid conformity in dress, in speech, in moral attitudes, and in thinking. Sometimes they follow fashion at the expense of integrity. They dread to be alone. They do not want to stand out or be different. They want to conform. After they graduate from college, many of these young people want nothing more than a good job with a big firm, and a home somewhere in suburbia. But they don’t find security."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"There is a great identity crisis among students today. Who am I? What is the purpose of life? Where did I come from? Where am I going? The Bible has a direct answer to this great big philosophical question and unless God seals the vacuum among youth today, then some other ideology will, because young people must have a faith. They must believe in something to find fulfillment in their lives."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"I have found that most young people really want us to spell out a moral code. They may not accept it or believe it, but they want to hear it, clearly and without compromise."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"In America we have an idolatry called the “adulation of youth.” Apparently distressed by their inability to communicate with the younger generation, many adults simply imitate it."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"If we would take the traits that characterized the Pilgrims and make them our own, we could regain hope. We could recover the spiritual and moral strength that we have lost. We could offer a thrilling challenge to our young people."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Millions of young people are shifting from one side to the other. They are like unguided missiles filled with energy and ambition and yet somehow not “fitting in.” Peer pressure leads them astray . . . [and] in thousands of churches they are led astray theologically."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"All young people sin, and sin produces discord, repellent vibrations which rifle the concert of life until the strings are gutless and flat. The kicks soon lead to kickbacks."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"[Young people,] dress as attractively as you can. You are an aristocrat, a child of God."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"In earlier periods of history, adolescence was virtually unknown . . . Today, the span between childhood and adulthood may extend over ten years. Deferred adulthood is synonymous with deferred responsibility."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Young people are experts on leisure, water skiing, dancing, rock music, rapping, TV watching . . . by and large, chores are a thing of the past."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"The Gospel shows people their wounds and bestows on them love. It shows them their bondage and supplies the hammerto knock away their chains. It shows them their nakedness and provides them the garments of purity. It shows them their poverty and pours into their lives the wealth of heaven. It shows them their sins and points them to the Savior."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"A suffering person does not need a lecture—he needs a listener."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character and unknown strength for service. People who go through life unscathed by sorrow and untouched by pain tend to be shallow in their perspectives on life. Suffering, on the other hand, tends to plow up the surface of our lives to uncover the depths that provide greater strength of purpose and accomplishment. Only deeply plowed earth can yield bountiful harvests."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"[The Lord] does go with us through our sufferings, and He awaits us as we emerge on the other side of the tunnel of testing—into the light of His glorious presence to live with Him forever!"
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"In His thirty-three years on earth, Jesus suffered with man; on the cross He suffered for man."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"We enjoy the sense of God’s presence in the midst of suffering here and now. I have talked to people who are experiencing deep pain or severe difficulties, and they have said, “I feel God is so close to me."
Billy Graham, Billy Graham in Quotes
"Jesus suffered more than any other person in human history."
