From the writings of the Rev. Billy Graham

Expensive Rev. Graham: My mom claims to be a Christian however there is no such thing as a proof of it at residence. How can this be? – B.M.

Expensive B.M.: Residing for Christ within the house is the acid check for any Christian. It’s far simpler to reside a wonderful life amongst our pals after we’re placing our greatest foot ahead and are aware of public opinion, than it’s to reside for Christ at residence. Our circle of relatives circle is aware of whether or not Christ lives in and thru us.
A real Christian is not going to give approach at residence to unhealthy mood, impatience, fault-finding, sarcasm, unkindness, suspicion, selfishness, or laziness. As a substitute, a real Christian will reveal via every day life the fruit of the Spirit, which is love, pleasure, peace, longsuffering, and all the opposite Christian virtues which spherical out a Christlike character.
Solely God Himself totally appreciates the affect of a Christian mom within the molding of character in her kids. There are tales of some girls who had an evil affect on their kids. Nero’s mom was a murderess. Then there are accounts of moms who impacted their kids for good. George Washington’s mom was religious. Lord Shaftesbury was right in his well-known assertion, “Give me a technology of Christian moms, and I’ll undertake to alter the entire face of society in 12 months.”
If we had extra Christian moms, we’d have much less delinquency, much less immorality, much less ungodliness, and fewer damaged houses. Each mom owes it to her kids to simply accept Christ as her private Savior, in order that she would be the affect for good within the lives of these whom God has graciously given to her.
