My Garden in Heaven In my Father’s house are many mansions:  if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you.  – John 14:2 KJV   Tonight I watched a movie called ‘Miracles from Heaven’.  Based on real events the story chronicles the sickness of a small Burleson, Texas girl and her miraculous healing when she fell thirty feet onto her head inside of a hollow oak tree.  While she was unconscious…

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit By Billy Graham   •   September 27, 2016 Your body is the home of the Holy Spirit . . . —1 Corinthians 6:19 (TLB) Who is the Holy Spirit? He is God, just as God the Father and God the Son are also God. We speak of them as the Trinity. You ask me to explain the Trinity.

Verse of the Day – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 KJV

You Can Preach! By Billy Graham   •   September 26, 2016 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world . . . —Matthew 24:14 (TLB) We are stewards of the Gospel.

Letters from Roscoe: It’s really a Simple Subject. Why Do We Make it so Hard?

It’s really a Simple Subject.  Why Do We Make it so Hard?  Howdy folks!  Today we were back in our Church for the first time in several months.  It felt good! It felt good to know that we had been missed.  It also felt good to be together with our Church Family and rejoin the fellowship and wholeness that we feel when we are together in His house.  So many smiling faces, so many friends and loving neighbors.  God is…

Symptoms of Guilt

Symptoms of Guilt By Billy Graham   •   September 25, 2016 Cleanse me from this guilt. Let me be pure again. — Psalm 51:2 (TLB) Guilt is a prominent word among psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, and ministers too. The dictionary calls guilt “the act or state of having done a wrong or committed an offense.” The symptoms of guilt are many, but the root cause is one. We have broken the moral law of the universe as expressed in the Ten Commandments and the…

A Living Presence

A Living Presence By Billy Graham   •   September 24, 2016 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. — Luke 2:32 If we could look through mighty telescopes or listen to electronic soundings, we could hear and see the metallic stars which both Russia and America have put into space in the past years. None of these synthetic stars have brought peace to the world. But God’s star promised peace to the whole world, if man…

Verse of the Day – Psalms 139:13-14 KJV

For thou hast possessed my reins:  thou has covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:  marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
