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…

Fogiveness – ‘Revisited’

Howdy everyone, Back in May of last year, I wrote a post about Forgiveness.  A reader recently read that article and sent in the following comment.  (You may want to refresh your memory and reread the original post.  It’s available here.) Dear Roscoe, I read your letter about “Forgiveness”.  In your letter you ask the question, “. . . can I just pray to God that he will give me the strength to just ‘Let go’ and move on, and…

God Is in Nature

God Is in Nature By Billy Graham   •   May 2, 2017 When I consider thy heavens . . . —Psalm 8:3 To look into a microscope is to see another universe so small that only the electronic microscope can even find it. For instance, it is revealed that one single snowflake in a snowstorm with millions of other snowflakes is the equivalent of twenty billion electrons. Scientists are learning that the miniature world of a single living cell is as…

God, the Peacekeeper

God, the Peacekeeper By Billy Graham   •   May 1, 2017 He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in him, whose thoughts turn often to the Lord! —Isaiah 26:3 (TLB) You have an ego-a consciousness of being an individual. Of course, you do. But that doesn’t mean that you are to worship yourself, to think constantly of yourself, and to live entirely for yourself. Common sense tells you that your life would be miserable if you followed that…

Verse of the Day – Psalms 42:11 KJV

To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah. ¹¹ Why art thou cast down, O my soul?  and why art thou disquieted within me?  hope thou in God:  for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

A long way to go and a short time to get there…

A long way to go and a short time to get there… Yesterday at the Men’s Breakfast I was reminded that ‘I am a Christian in Training’ and that I have a long way to go yet before I will fully reflect the light of Christ. My friend Steve and I have been meeting for lunch periodically and discussing Christ and many other issues.  A couple of meetings ago, we got onto the subject of young men, needing mentoring and…
