Billy Quotes

Once God leads you to make a decision, don’t draw back. Instead, trust His leading, and believe He goes before you—because He does.

Part of the human makeup which distinguishes man from other creatures is his ability to reason and make moral decisions. Man is a free moral agent.

God has a plan and the devil has a plan, and you will have to decide which plan you are going to fit into.

Sometimes we encourage someone without even being aware of it. Even the example we set by attending church may encourage someone who is searching for God.

Don’t be bound by the past and its failures. But don’t forget its lessons either.

[While] disappointment and failure aren’t identical, they often occur together, and both can hold us back from God’s best for our lives.

Compassion is not complete in itself, but must be accompanied by inflexible justice and wrath against sin and a desire for holiness.

Don’t take the holiness of God lightly, for it is the very essence of His character.

If you belong to Jesus Christ, you are called to live a life of purity and holiness. God wants your mind to be shaped by Him so that your thoughts and goals reflect Christ.

As I read the Bible, I seem to find holiness to be [Christ’s] supreme attribute.

Christians should seek after holiness—without which no man shall see the Lord. Let us seek ardently the kind of life that reflects the beauty of Jesus and marks us as being what saints ought to be!

Our voices, our service, and our abilities are to be employed, primarily, for the glory of God.
