The Journey Quotes

“In God’s eyes an evil thought is just as sinful as an evil deed. When we allow our minds to be filled with lust, hate, anger, bitterness, jealousy, greed, envy, selfishness, or even doubt, then we are guilty of sin.”
― Billy Graham, The Journey: Living by Faith in an Uncertain World

“The Bible's picture of a godly leader also describes the godly home: "A shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock" (Isaiah 32:2). May that be true of your home.”
― Billy Graham, The Journey: Living by Faith in an Uncertain World

“How much greater should be our longing for our eternal home! You and I aren’t meant to live for only a few decades on this earth; we are destined for eternity. The Bible says this world is not our final home; we are “strangers and pilgrims on the earth” (Hebrews 11:13 NKJV). Our true home is heaven—and that is where God’s path leads.”

“I do not understand what I do. . . . For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. —Romans 7:15, 19”

“Uncontrolled anger is a devastating sin, and no one is exempt from its havoc. It shatters friendships and destroys marriages; it causes abuse in families and discord in business; it breeds violence in the community and war between nations. Its recoil, like that of a high-powered rifle, often hurts the one who wields it as well as its target. Anger makes us lash out at others, destroying relationships and revealing our true nature.”
― Billy Graham, The Journey: Living by Faith in an Uncertain World

“Como humanos tenemos dos grandes necesidades espirituales. La primera es de perdón, el cual Dios hizo posible al enviar a su Hijo al mundo a morir por nuestros pecados. Nuestra segunda necesidad, sin embargo, es de bondad, la cual el Señor también hace posible al enviar al Espíritu Santo a morar dentro de nosotros. Si hemos de vivir como Dios desea que vivamos, si hemos de parecernos más a Cristo, si hemos de viajar sabiamente en nuestra travesía, entonces necesitamos tanto perdón como bondad. Necesitamos la obra del Hijo a favor de nosotros, y necesitamos la obra del Espíritu Santo en nosotros. Al fabuloso regalo del perdón Dios añade la fantástica dádiva del Espíritu Santo.”

“¿Cuál es el problema? El problema es que estamos confiando en nuestras propias fuerzas en vez de confiar en las fuerzas del Espíritu Santo. No solo debemos saber cómo Dios desea que vivamos; también necesitamos el poder para hacerlo.”
― Billy Graham, La jornada: Cómo vivir por fe en un mundo incierto

“God has a personal, individual plan for each of us. It embraces the big things in life: whom we will marry, what our career will be, where we will live, even when we will die. It also includes the details of our daily lives: decisions about our families, finances, leisure time, friendships, and countless other choices we make. Are you seeking God’s will in everything? The Bible says, “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future’” (Jeremiah 29:11).”
