Billy Graham

I think about my own sons and my own daughters, and I'm sure that many parents are concerned about what their children are exposed to.

I haven't written my own epitaph, and I'm not sure I should. Whatever it is, I hope it will be simple, and that it will point people not to me, but to the One I served.

The Oklahoma City bombing was simple technology, horribly used. The problem is not technology. The problem is the person or persons using it.

No parent is perfect; we all can look back and think of things we could've done to help our children be better prepared for adulthood. And sometimes it's best to admit it to them and encourage them to learn from our mistakes.

The Bible says that as Christians we don't grieve the same way people do who have no hope of eternity and of Heaven - but we still grieve.

One of the things I miss most is that I can no longer read, due to age-related macular degeneration. I get regular injections for this, and thankfully these seem to have arrested its progress, but it's still very difficult for me to read. That means it is hard for me to pick up my Bible and read it like I used to, and I miss that very much.

Let me ask you a question: If you never ate a balanced diet, what would happen to your body? You know the answer: Eventually you'd grow weak; you might even open yourself to serious illness or disease. We all need a balanced diet if we are to stay healthy.

I fell and broke my pelvic bone in three places. So, I'm still sort of an invalid now.

I'm grateful for the evangelical resurgence we've seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God's doing.

Even Hubble hasn't found yet the end of this universe, and we don't know that it has any end.

I believe that the greatest form of prayer is praise to God.

My wife has about everything I can think of.

I think we've taken the meaning of Christmas out. People don't stop and think about Jesus or the birth of Jesus. When they think of Christmas, they think of Santa Claus and - for the children, and they think of giving gifts and out-giving the next person of spending their time looking for the right thing for somebody who has everything.

I think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.

While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.

The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.

Whenever I counsel someone who feels called to be an evangelist, I always urge them to guard their time and not feel like they have to do everything.

Traveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.

What really matters is how God sees me. He isn't concerned with labels; he is concerned about the state of man's soul.

My father had a dairy farm. He employed three black families and one white family, and I used to play with black children.
