Brother Eddie showers us with the word of God. That is…
Real Security
Real Security By Billy Graham • November 16, 2016 The foundation of God standeth sure . . . —2 Timothy 2:19 On campus the quickest way to security is through the crowd.

Reality Check!

In fact, what I know about my own religion you could put in a gallon milk jug and…
