The Journey – Part I
The Journey On Sunday, we left Lenoir City on our way to the Orient. A place I never thought I would visit. In fact, based on my observations that they (Asians) have no concept of personal space I emphatically swore I never would make this trip. But here I am. I should know by now, there is no such thing as never. Our journey out of Knoxville to San Diego was uneventful, usually a good thing when traveling. Two things…
Spiritual Sensitivity
Spiritual Sensitivity By Billy Graham • March 8, 2017 Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God . . . —1 John 2:15 (TLB) There are certain elements of daily life which are not sinful in themselves but which have a tendency to lead to sin if they are abused. Abuse literally means “extreme use” and, in many instances, overuse of things…

The Divine Standard
The Divine Standard By Billy Graham • March 7, 2017 For salvation that comes from trusting Christ . . . is already within easy reach of each of us . . . —Romans 10:8 (TLB) Christ said there is a happiness in that acknowledgment of spiritual poverty which lets God come into our souls. Now, the Bible teaches that our souls have a disease. It causes all the troubles and difficulties in the world. It causes all the troubles, confusions,…

The Painting
Tomorrow we take flight and head to Japan. But today I am at my sister’s home in San Diego, CA. She has lived in this home for 30 years now. And in that time I have visited many times. Her home is beautiful. Like something you would see in a magazine. It struck me this morning that this home is her life’s painting. Over the years each room’s decorations have changed subtly, a minor touch here, a new painting there.…

The Life of a Servant
The Life of a Servant By Billy Graham • March 5, 2017 So he went and did according unto the word of the Lord . . . —1 Kings 17:5 As messengers of God, we will often lead lonely lives. “All men forsook me,” said Paul.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
It’s Movie Time!
It’s Movie Time! Cindy and I went and saw a movie the other night that Hobert had first told me about. Called ‘Is Genesis History?’ the movie scientifically dismantles today’s theories of evolution and replaces it with factual evidence pointing to the divine creation of the universe as we know it today. The great flood told of in the story of Noah actually happened! You can see the evidence of it today all around us. Just like in Galileo’s &…
