Not Just a Man

Not Just a Man By Billy Graham   •   April 3, 2017 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. —Colossians 1:17 Napoleon was right when he said, “I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is more than a man. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other human being who ever lived, because He was the Son of God.” Emerson was right when he replied to those who asked him why he did not include…

Verse of the Day – Psalms 95:1-2 KJV

¹O come, let us sing unto the Lord:  let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.  ²Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Use Your Mind

Use Your Mind By Billy Graham   •   April 2, 2017 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind . . . —Mark 12:30 Christ touches every area of our lives. He touches our minds and we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. God invites people to use their minds, “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord” (Isaiah 1:18). We are told…

Back in My Place!

Back in My Place! And I even got to make the eggs!  Last night Cindy and I returned home from a twenty-six day trip to the Orient.  To say I was glad to be home again is an understatement.  I am so grateful. And I am so blessed! I couldn’t have felt more happy and secure in God’s love than when I awoke early this morning and attended the Men’s Breakfast at Church.  It was so good to see the…

Glory in the Cross

Glory in the Cross By Billy Graham   •   April 1, 2017 As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. —Galatians 6:14 (TLB) What glory is there in the cross? It was an instrument of torture and shame. Why did Paul glory in it? He gloried in it because the most selfless act ever performed by men or angels took place upon it. He saw-emanating from that rough, unartistic beam…

The Hope of Resurrection

The Hope of Resurrection By Billy Graham   •   March 31, 2017 He which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus . . . —2 Corinthians 4:14 The resurrection of Christ brings hope. The late Emil Brunner once said, “What oxygen is for the lungs, such is hope for the meaning of human life.” As the human organism is dependent on a supply of oxygen, so humanity is dependent on its supply of hope. Yet today…

Endless Forgiveness

Endless Forgiveness By Billy Graham   •   March 30, 2017 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us . . . —1 Thessalonians 5:9,10 Look at Christ’s death. In one biography of the great American, Daniel Webster, 863 pages deal with his career and just five pages are devoted to his death. In Hay’s life of Abraham Lincoln there are 5,000 pages but only 25 are devoted to…

Cleansed by the Blood

Cleansed by the Blood By Billy Graham   •   March 29, 2017 . . . unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. —Revelation 1:5 Blood is mentioned 460 times in the Bible. Fourteen times in the New Testament Jesus spoke of His own blood. Why? Because by the shedding of His blood, He accomplished the possibility of our salvation. He paid the penalty for our sin and redeemed us. The penalty for our…
