Billy Graham on Purity….

These quotes are from a Billy Graham evangelistic crusade in 1957. His words are timeless. There is a ‘fire in his belly’ and you have probably never heard Billy speak like you hear in this message….

“And above all discipline your mind… “Thou dost keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee because he trusts in Thee…” Isa 26:3…

A lot of you young men and women have a difficult time with your thoughts… of course you do…

In this day when you cannot go to a magazine stand without blushing to buy a newspaper… In this day, in this country, everything is sex, sex, sex… there is nothing wrong with sex… in the right place, it is God ordained, God given, but we have gone sex mad…

We have taught that morals are relative, that there are no absolutes, and Christians are caught up in the rush…

One Christian girl wrote, “I have forgotten even how to blush…”

There is only one control for your sex impulses and if you lose the battle of the sex impulses, then you have lost the battle of the Christian life…

And at your age, this is a tremendous possibility in your Christian life, because this is your creative force, this is your creative power…

And if it is given to Christ and Christ becomes the master, and Christ becomes the Lord, then you can take the world for Christ.

But if you lose at that point, then you have lost…

I tell you, that I know… I know that Jesus Christ can give power to live a clean, wholesome life…
I know that he can keep your minds pure, I have experienced it in my own personal experience, seen it the lives of others…

Let him take your mind and nail it to the cross… Take this little muscle in your mouth, your tongue and nail it to the cross…
Job said, “I have made a covenant with my eyes, how shall I look on a maid. Take your eyes and nail them to the cross…
Go through your own bodies and make a list, give all your parts to God. Nail them on the cross…
