A Daily Process

A Daily Process By Billy Graham   •   October 2, 2016 He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. —Philippians 1:6 Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion. It is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. When you start out, you start out as a baby. You must be fed on the simple things of the Bible, and you learn to…
