Be Truthful

Be Truthful By Billy Graham   •   March 2, 2017 You deserve honesty from the heart; yes, utter sincerity and truthfulness. Oh, give me this wisdom. —Psalm 51:6 (TLB) The Bible teaches that purity of conduct includes truthfulness. The Bible teaches that we should be truthful in our representation of ourselves.

Verse of the Day – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,    Doth no behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;    Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;   Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.    Charity never faileth:  but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,…

God Our Comforter

God Our Comforter By Billy Graham   •   February 27, 2017 I, even I, am he that comforteth you . . . —Isaiah 51:12 There is also comfort in mourning, because in the midst of mourning God gives a song. His presence in our lives changes our mourning into song, and that song is a song of comfort. This kind of comfort is the kind which enabled a devout Englishman to look at a deep dark hole in the ground where…

Practice the Fruits of the Spirit

Practice the Fruits of the Spirit By Billy Graham   •   February 26, 2017 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . . . —Galatians 5:22,23 (TLB) Christ can rid you of inner conflict. Man without God is always torn between two urges. His nature prompts him to do wrong, and his conscience urges him to do right. Antagonistic desires and…

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

For thou hast possessed my reins:  thou hast 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.

Change of Heart By Billy Graham   •   February 25, 2017 Christ taught you! If you have really heard his voice . . . then throw off your old evil nature-the old you that was a partner in your evil ways . . . —Ephesians 4:20-22 (TLB) Paul before his conversion was not meek. Proudly and brutally, he apprehended all Christians and sought to destroy them. He was bigoted, selfish, and vaunted. But when he wrote his warm and affectionate letter…
