Billy Sunday was an American evangelist and former professional baseball player known for his dynamic preaching and revival meetings. His energetic and charismatic style drew large crowds and led to widespread conversions. Sunday played a significant role in the religious revival movement of the early 20th century and is remembered for his contributions to American evangelicalism.

"Conversion is a complete surrender to Jesus. It's a willingness to do what he wants you to do."



"I believe there is no doctrine more dangerous to the Church today than to convey the impression that a revival is something peculiar in itself and cannot be judged by the same rules of causes and effect as other things."



"Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in."



"Some persons have lived manly or womanly lives, and they lack but one thing - open confession of the Lord Jesus Christ. Some men think that they must come to him in a certain way - that they must be stirred by emotion or something like that."



"Live so that when the final summons comes you will leave something more behind you than an epitaph on a tombstone or an obituary in a newspaper."



"God Almighty never intended that the devil should triumph over the Church. He never intended that the saloons should walk rough-shod over Christianity."



"At Kansas City, Kansas, before the saloons were closed, they were getting ready to build an addition to the jail. Now the doors swing idly on the hinges and there is nobody to lock in the jails."



"When may a revival be expected? When the wickedness of the wicked grieves and distresses the Christian."



"The Democratic party of Florida has put a temperance plank in its platform and the Republican party of every state would nail that plank in their platform if they thought it would carry the election."
