Bread of Life

Bread of Life By Billy Graham   •   October 26, 2016 I am the living bread that came down from heaven . . . —John 6:51 In John 6:48 we read that Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.” Jesus had just fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fishes. They were all excited and thrilled over the great miracle that had occurred, [but] Jesus was talking about something more important than social needs. Bread in the Scriptures is…

Verse of the Day – Psalms 116:1-2

¹I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice and supplications.  ²Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.

Cure Discouragement

Cure Discouragement By Billy Graham   •   October 25, 2016 Wait on the Lord, be of good courage . . . —Psalm 27:14 Discouragement is nothing new. Many of the great Bible characters became discouraged. Moses in the Sinai desert; Elijah when he heard Jezebel was searching for him to take his life; and David when his son Absalom rebelled against him. It is as old as the history of man. There is often a cause for discouragement. It comes many…

Verse of the Day – John 6:35 KJV

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:  he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Prejudice Is Weakness

Prejudice Is Weakness By Billy Graham   •   October 24, 2016  Judge not, that ye be not judged. —Matthew 7:1 The word prejudice means “prejudging” or “making an estimate of others without knowing the facts.” Prejudice is a mark of weakness, not of strength. Prejudice is measured by computing the distance between our own biased opinions and the real truth. If we would all be perfectly honest before God, there would be no prejudice. Prayer for the day You love each…

Where is Heaven?

Where Is Heaven? By Billy Graham   •   October 23, 2016 I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me. —Luke 22:29 Many people have asked, “Where is heaven?” We are not told in the Scripture where heaven is. Some students have tried to take some Scriptures and put them together and say that heaven is in the north. They quote Psalm 48:2, “The joy of the whole earth is . . . on the sides of…

All Have Sinned

All Have Sinned By Billy Graham   •   October 22, 2016 So it is that we are saved by faith in Christ and not by the good things we do. —Romans 3:28 (TLB) Many people still cling to the notion that man is naturally good. We did not get this from the Greeks. Aristotle said, “There is no good in mankind.” We did not get it from Judaism. Jeremiah said, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who…

Verse of the Day – John 3:36 KJV

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

A Need for God

A Need for God By Billy Graham   •   October 21, 2016 Christ in your hearts is your only hope of glory. —Colossians 1:27 (TLB) The age-old issue, “Can man save himself, or does he need God?” is still raging across the world as furiously as ever. As long as the world goes on, people will build towers of Babel, fashion their graven images, and invent their own ideologies. Now, as in every period of history, people think they can manage…
