The Prince of Peace

The Prince of Peace By Billy Graham   •   December 17, 2016 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. —Proverbs 10:12 To hate, to discriminate against those who look different, who talk different, who have different national backgrounds, or who act differently from the dominant group, is a universal trait of human nature.

Why the Righteous Suffer

Why the Righteous Suffer By Billy Graham   •   December 16, 2016  God will tenderly comfort you when you undergo these same sufferings . . . —2 Corinthians 1:7 (TLB) This question, “Why must the righteous suffer?” is as old as time. There is only one place that we can find an answer, and that is in the Bible. You do not need to study the Scriptures long to learn why sinners meet reverses and anguish. They are apart from God.…

Not Too Young

Not Too Young By Billy Graham   •   December 15, 2016 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers . . . —1 Timothy 4:12 Lord Chesterton once said, “I believe in bedside repentance, but I do not want to depend upon it.” During a serious illness a person’s mind does not function normally.

God desires that Christians be concerned and burdened for a…

Verse of the Day – 1 John 5:14-15 KJV

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have petitions that we desired of him.

What God Has Done

What God Has Done By Billy Graham   •   December 13, 2016  With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy redeemer. —Isaiah 54:8 If God is all-powerful and all-loving, it would seem inconsistent with His nature to allow anyone to be lost. Here again we rationalize because we do not understand the nature of God. God cannot go against His own laws and against His own nature. God is holy. He cannot tolerate sin in His…

Verse of the Day – 2 Corinthians 12:9

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee:  for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Loving One Another

Loving One Another By Billy Graham   •   December 12, 2016 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men . . . —1 Thessalonians 3:12 One of the growing psychological problems facing people today is loneliness.
