The Eternal Fact
The Eternal Fact By Billy Graham • August 9, 2016 And all who trust him—God’s Son—to save them have eternal life . . . —John 3:36 (TLB) Currently, Christianity is being compared with other religions as never before. Some so-called Christian leaders even advocate the working out of a system of morals, ethics, and religion that would bring together all the religions of the world. It cannot be done. Jesus Christ is unique. Why insist on the uniqueness of Christ?…
Verse of the Day – 2 Timothy 1:9 KJV
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.
Unity in Scripture
Unity in Scripture By Billy Graham • August 8, 2016 . . . holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. —2 Peter 1:21 Although one can derive inspiration from any portion of the Scripture, it is better to have an understanding of the general structure of the Bible to get the most out of it. The Old Testament is an account of a nation, Israel. Out of that nation came Jesus Christ, the Savior…
Verse of the Day – 1 Peter 3:15 KJV
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
The Mind of Christ
The Mind of Christ By Billy Graham • August 7, 2016 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. —2 Timothy 1:7 Many diseases of both body and mind are self-inflicted. For example, ulcers are often caused by worry and anxiety. Heart attacks are caused many times by overexertion. Unjustified worry, fear, prejudice, hatred, and envy can contribute to mental stress, which could lead to mental illness.…
Verse of the Day – 1 Peter 2:9 KJV
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:
Ills of the Human Race
Ills of the Human Race By Billy Graham • August 6, 2016 Set thy house in order . . . —2 Kings 20:1 Man condemns himself by his refusal of God’s way of salvation. In love and mercy, God is offering to men and women a way of escape, a way of salvation, a hope and anticipation of better things. Man in his blindness, stupidity, stubbornness, egotism, and love of sinful pleasure, refuses God’s simple method of escaping the pangs…
Verse of the Day – Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Daily Devotional – Love One Another
Love One Another By Billy Graham • August 5, 2016 But if we are living in the light of God’s presence, just as Christ does, then we have wonderful fellowship and joy with each other, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from every sin. —1 John 1:7 (TLB) I received a letter from a man in Charlotte, North Carolina. He said that, until our Charlotte Crusade, he was filled with hatred, bitterness, and prejudice toward people of…
Verse of the Day – Ephesians 5:1-2 KJV
Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
Daily Devotional – Where is Your Treasure?
Where Is Your Treasure? By Billy Graham • August 4, 2016 You cannot serve two masters: God and money. —Matthew 6:24 (TLB) Tell me what you think about money, and I will tell you what you think about God, for these two are closely related. A man’s heart is closer to his wallet than anything else. It is a staggering fact that for the past few years people have spent ten times as much for luxuries and non-essentials as they…
Verse of the Day – 1 John 4:11-12 KJV
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
