Do You Know God? By Billy Graham   •   January 14, 2017 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. —John 10:14 Unless God is revealed to us through personal experience, we can never really know God.

Eternity

Eternity By Billy Graham   •   January 11, 2017 What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later. —Romans 8:18 (TLB) Nowhere does the Bible teach that Christians are to be exempt from the tribulations and natural disasters that come upon the world. It does teach that the Christian can face tribulation, crisis, calamity, and personal suffering with a supernatural power that is not available to the person outside Christ. The early Christians were able…

Look how far we have come in so short a time! Sometimes when I read…

As Christians, we have only one authority, one compass: the Word of God. Abraham Lincoln in a…
