Sufficient to Save By Billy Graham   •   August 3, 2016 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. —Proverbs 14:12 A line of human thought that seems right to many people is the idea of self-redemption.

Molding You By Billy Graham   •   July 31, 2016 When we suffer and die for Christ it only means that we will begin living with him in heaven. —2 Timothy 2:11 (TLB) I have a friend who during the Depression lost his job, a fortune, a wife, and a home.

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long  suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Daily Devotional – A Covenant With Eyes

A Covenant With Eyes By Billy Graham   •   July 30, 2016 Keep thyself pure. —1 Timothy 5:22 Someone has said, “You cannot help the first look, but the second is sin.” Jesus indicated that you can engage in immorality by a look. The Bible places the “lust of the eye” right along with other major sins. Listen: “For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,…

Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him. —Hebrews 11:6 (TLB) Faith pleases God more than anything else.
