True Friendship
True Friendship By Billy Graham • September 14, 2016 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. —John 13:35 The human soul is a lonely thing. It must have the assurance of companionship. Left entirely to itself, it cannot enjoy anything. God said in the beginning, “It is not good that man should dwell alone” (Genesis 2:18). The creation of Eve was the beginning of human companionship. God’s people are…
Verse of the Day – Romans 1:16 KJV

Where Is Jesus Christ? By Billy Graham • September 13, 2016 Everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus . . . —Philippians 3:8 (TLB) “Where is Jesus Christ?” Innumerable students are studying Him and deciding whether or not Christ and the Gospel really matter-whether He is relevant in this modern age. C.S. Lewis, a professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Oxford and later at Cambridge, had to do the same thing. He…

Be Meek – Be Happy
Be Meek—Be Happy By Billy Graham • September 12, 2016 Blessed are the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. —Matthew 5:5 In His characteristic way Jesus was saying something quite shocking and revolutionary to His listener with these words, “Happy are the meek.” He was saying something quite the opposite of our modern concept of the way to happiness. We say, “Happy are the clever, for they shall inherit the admiration of their friends”; “Happy are the aggressive, for…
Verse of the Day – Proverbs 4:23 KJV
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
Only Jesus
Only JesusBy Billy Graham • September 11, 2016 God . . . is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord. —1 Corinthians 1:9 (TLB) The question remains, “How can God be just-that is, true to Himself in nature and true to Himself in holiness-and yet justify the sinner?” Because each man had to bear his own sins, all mankind was excluded from helping, since each was contaminated with the same disease.…

Dream Great Dreams
Dream Great Dreams – By Billy Graham • September 10, 2016 Be thou faithful unto death . . . —Revelation 2:10 In our day much of the world believes little or nothing. People are broad but shallow. Agnosticism, anxiety, emptiness, meaninglessness, have gripped much of the world—and even the church. Our youth are desperately searching for a purpose and a meaning in their lives. They are searching for fulfillment which they are not finding in sex and drugs. By contrast, our…

Science & Faith
Science & Faith By Billy Graham • September 9, 2016 He . . . has given you a full understanding of the truth. —1 Corinthians 1:5 (TLB) There is never any conflict between true science and our Christian faith. It is my own feeling that when all of the truth is known, it will be found that the Genesis story is a wonderfully accurate record of what took place when the world was created. This may be a telescoped record,…
