More From Billy Graham

Christ be with me, christ within me, christ behind me, christ before me, christ beside me, christ to win me, christ to comfort me and restore me, christ beneath me, christ above me, christ in quiet, christ in danger, christ in hearts of all that love me, christ in mouth of friend and stranger.

I win, you win. you win, i win. the gun, i win. the fruit, you win. i win, you win.

Here we are told that christ really lives in me, if i have accepted christ as my savior. in other words, we have the words of jesus to the thief of the cross, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise.' christ can say, 'today thou wilt be with me in paradise,' and mean it. to die is to be with the lord. it is not just an idea, it is a reality. but at the same time, christ, the same christ who gives the promise just as definitely, that when i have accepted christ as my savior, he lives in me.

...black women write differently from white women. this is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. it's not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. black men don't write very differently from white men.

Let me make it quite clear that when christians say the christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral. when they speak of being "in christ" or of christ being "in them", this is not simply a way of saying that they are thinking about christ or copying him. they mean that christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of christians are the physical organism through which christ acts--that we are his fingers and muscles, the cells of his body.

Being christian without the church doesn't make sense. that's why the great paul vi, said that the most absurd dichotomy is loving christ without the church. to listen to christ, but not the church. to be with christ, but stay at the margins of the church. it's not possible. it's an absurd dichotomy.

Similar Quotes

The parish is the presence of the church in any given territory, an environment for hearing god's word, for growth in christian life, for dialogue, proclamation, charitable outreach, worship and celebration.

The disciple of jesus gives up all he has, all his goods, because he has found in him the greatest good from which every other good receives its full value and meaning: family bonds, other relationships, work, cultural and economic goods and so on... the christian detaches himself from everything and rediscovers all of it in the logic of the gospel, the logic of love and service.

Truth, according to the christian faith, is god's love for us in jesus christ. therefore, truth is a relationship.

I might not be a good socialist, any more than i'm a good christian, but i am one.
