The body of the Rev. Billy Graham currently lies in honor at the U.S. Capitol–only the fourth private citizen to be so honored. A counselor to presidents and a gifted evangelist, Graham touched the lives of millions of people around the world.
President Trump called Graham, “an ambassador for Christ who reminded the world of the power of prayer and the gift of God’s grace.”
What a touching tribute to such a good and godly man. America might have lost its pastor, but Heaven has gained a wonderful angel. May we one day rejoice together in our eternal home.
Below are some quotes from Graham and quotes from people who have shared their thoughts since his passing.
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Christ not only died for all: he died for each.
The cross shows us the seriousness of our sin—but it also shows us the immeasurable love of God.
Sin is the second most powerful force in the universe, for it sent Jesus to the cross. Only one force is greater—the love of God.
I have never known anyone to accept Christ’s redemption and later regret it.
I’ve read the last page of the Bible, it’s all going to turn out all right.

Billy Graham was a humble servant who prayed for so many – and who, with wisdom and grace, gave hope and guidance to generations of Americans. – President Barack Obama

Deep thanksgiving for the life and ministry of Billy Graham. – Author/singer/songwriter Michael Card
