Meaning
This frames moral wisdom as something larger than personal preference or social guesswork. It can be taken to mean that guidance for living together should be sought in faith and scripture, not just in changing public opinion. It lands when people are arguing about values and need a shared standard rather than a quick compromise.

About Billy Graham
American evangelist and Southern Baptist minister
Billy Graham was an American evangelist, ordained Southern Baptist minister, and civil rights advocate, active in the 20th century. Born William Franklin Graham Jr., he became widely known for broadcasts and world tours built around live sermons. Over a career that lasted more than six decades, Graham rose to prominence as an evangelical Christian figure in the United States and abroad. His public work made him a familiar voice in religious broadcasting and large-scale preaching, and his influence extended well beyond the pulpit.
