A Voice from the Past

I received a letter yesterday from a dear friend and co-worker at American Airlines.  I have referred to him or his actions several times in past letters.  Jeff was one of the first ‘real’ Christians that I met as an adult and I didn’t even realize it at the time.  I thought I would share parts of his letter with you because it blessed me, and I hope you will find a blessing in it as well. – Roscoe (Christian…

Truth Brings Freedom

Truth Brings Freedom By Billy Graham   •   May 7, 2017 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. —John 8:36 The mark of a true Christian is found in his personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Christ is Christianity. I speak reverently when I say that Jesus is more than His ideas. All that He said was true, but without Him even the truth would have been powerless. Men know…

Verse of the Day – John 1:14 KJV

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Dominoes

Dominoes What a really great morning it was today!  The Men’s breakfast was great!  Even though a couple of the regulars were missing (And we did miss you!) we were still blessed with fifteen Christian Men sitting down to fellowship by sharing a good breakfast, praising God with beautiful music and hearing his word delivered. In his message today, Jim Best (With God’s help I’m sure . . .) managed to penetrate my thick skull with probably something very basic…

Seek God For Yourself

Seek God For Yourself By Billy Graham   •   May 6, 2017 Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves . . . —Psalm 100:3 Whenever anyone asks me how I can be so certain about who and what God really is, I am reminded of the story of the little boy who was out flying a kite. It was a fine day to go kite-flying, the wind was brisk,…

Verse of the Day – James 1:2 KJV

² My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; ³ Knowing this, that the the trying of your faith worketh patience.  

The Need For Love

The Need For Love By Billy Graham   •   May 5, 2017 Keep yourselves in the love of God . . . —Jude 1:21 A husband and wife visited an orphanage where they hoped to adopt a child. In an interview with the boy they wanted, they told him in glowing terms about the many things they could give him. To their amazement the little fellow said, “If you have nothing to offer except a good home, clothes, toys, and the…

Verse of the Day – Ecclesiastes 11:5 KJV

As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child:  even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.

Everlasting Peace

Everlasting Peace By Billy Graham   •   May 4, 2017 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace . . . —Ephesians 2:13-14 Meaningless mouthings about peace will not bring it to the world. In Glasgow, Scotland, we watched the Communists march around St. George’s Square carrying their banners with the words, “Our motto is PEACE!” My thoughts raced back to Korea, where I had…

Seeing Our Need

Seeing Our Need By Billy Graham   •   May 3, 2017 Only a fool would say to himself, ‘There is no God.’ And why does he say it? Because of his wicked heart, his dark and evil deeds. His life is corroded with sin. —Psalm 53:1 (TLB) We live like a little ant on this little speck of dust out in space. We get a Ph.D. degree and we strut across the stage and say, “Well, I don’t know whether or…
