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…

This is an Article with a Long Title So We Can See How it Fits

In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram. Propterea sicut per unum hominem in hunc mundum peccatum intravit et per peccatum mors et ita in omnes homines mors pertransiit in quo omnes peccaverunt. Example Heading Let’s imagine this post’s text wrapped around an image with a caption. Let’s test an example link. Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit. In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram. Omnes enim peccaverunt et egent gloriam Dei. In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram. Omnis enim…

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…

Always Be Vigilant

Always Be Vigilant By Billy Graham   •   April 30, 2017 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. —1 Peter 5:8 When I was in the hospital in Hawaii, I read again of the shocking events which led up to the destruction of the United States fleet at Pearl Harbor. On that fateful day of December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked. We know now that that attack was…
