Billy Graham went home to be with the Lord this past week. I have been blessed to read several of his books and would like to share with you one of my favorite Billy Graham quotes.

Billy Graham once said, “Satan does not care about how much you theorize about Christianity or how much you profess to know Christ. What he opposes vigorously is the way you live Christ. The way you become an instrument of mercy, compassion, and love through which he manifests Himself to the world. If Satan can take the mercy out of Christianity, he has killed its effectiveness. If he can succeed in getting us to talk a good case of religion but live a poor one, he has robbed us of our power.”

Being robbed of our power is one thing that we as the body of Christ cannot afford to have done. Thank you, Billy Graham, I am so happy you are finally home.
