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.

The Light of the World

The Light of the World By Billy Graham   •   March 28, 2017 The Lord is my light and my salvation . . . —Psalm 27:1 Under the picture of Peter Milne, hanging in the church he founded on the little New Hebrides Island of Nguna, these words are found: “When he came, there was no light.

God is love. But the fact that God is love does not mean that everything is sweet, beautiful, and happy, and that God’s love could not possibly allow punishment for sin. God’s holiness demands that all sin be punished, but God’s…
