Let Your Light Shine

Let Your Light Shine By Billy Graham   •   March 26, 2017 . . . light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light . . . —John 3:19 The world’s difficulty is summed up in the words, “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness understood it not.” The light of Easter is shining, but men refuse to turn to its healing rays for forgiveness, redemption, and salvation. Thus Christ is being rejected by the…

Be Sensitive

Be Sensitive By Billy Graham   •   March 25, 2017 If a person isn’t loving and kind, it shows that he doesn’t know God—for God is love. —1 John 4:8 (TLB) Jesus wept tears of compassion at the graveside of a friend. He mourned over Jerusalem because as a city it had lost its appreciation of the things of the Spirit. His great heart was sensitive to the needs of others. To emphasize the importance of man’s love for men, He…

The Endless Love of God

The Endless Love of God By Billy Graham   •   March 24, 2017 But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. —John 1:12 (TLB) Who can describe or measure the love of God? God is love. But the fact that God is love does not mean that everything is sweet, beautiful, and happy, and that God’s love could not possibly allow punishment for sin. God’s holiness demands that all sin be punished, but God’s…

Jesus Never Changes

Jesus Never Changes By Billy Graham   •   March 23, 2017  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. —Hebrews 13:8 The Bible says, “It is appointed unto men once to die,” and to the average person this seems a stark and hopeless situation.

Modern philosophers and psychologists are still trying to make it appear that there is some way out other than…

A Pure Heart By Billy Graham • March 22, 2017

A Pure Heart By Billy Graham   •   March 22, 2017 Keep thyself pure. —1 Timothy 5:22 The Pharisees were not happy men. They had furrowed brows, nervous tension, frustration. They were full of resentments, bitterness, prejudices, and hatreds. Why? Simply because they had lost sight of God’s conception of the pure in heart. They thought that as long as they kept the letter of the law that was enough. But this was not God’s plan. This did not produce purity…

Satisfaction in Him

  Satisfaction in Him By Billy Graham   •   March 21,2017 I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness —Psalm 17:15 Is it not logical to believe that the only one who can recreate us is the One who created us in the first place? If your watch were out of order, you wouldn’t take it to a blacksmith. If your car needed overhauling, you wouldn’t go to a machine shop. Our spiritual problems can be solved only by…

Standing Firm

We Need Faith! By Billy Graham   •   March 19,2017 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. —Mark 11:22 Dr. Wernher von Braun, the guiding scientist in the development of our great space rockets, has said, “The materialists of the 19th century and the Marxist heirs of the 20th tried to tell us that as science yields more knowledge about the creation, it makes us able to live without faith in a Creator. Yet so far, with every…

Tame Your Temper

Tame Your Temper By Billy Graham   •   March 18, 2017 Doest thou well to be angry? —Jonah 4:4 You have a temper! There is nothing unique about that. Most people have tempers, in varying degrees, of course. God does not ask that you get rid of that temper. But He does say that if you are to be happy, it must be brought under control and rechanneled to proper use. God cannot use a man without a temper as well…

Sight for the Blind

Sight for the Blind By Billy Graham   •   March 17, 2017 . . . one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. —John 9:25 I try to explain to you the joy of following Christ: the thrill, the excitement, the exhilaration—knowing where I’ve come from, why I’m here, where I’m going! There’s a reason for existence. There’s a reason for getting up every morning of the year. I try to tell you what I’ve found in…

The Secret of Contentment

The Secret of Contentment By Billy Graham   •   March 16, 2017 I pray that you will begin to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him. It is that same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead . . . —Ephesians 1:19,20 (TLB) Jesus told His disciples that the world would hate them. They would be “as sheep in the midst of wolves.” They would be arrested, scourged, and brought before governors and kings.…
