God Made You By Billy Graham • February 10, 2017 Our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. —1 John 1:3 God made you! You were fashioned in His own image!

Do You Know God? By Billy Graham • January 14, 2017 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. —John 10:14 Unless God is revealed to us through personal experience, we can never really know God.

The Unchanging God By Billy Graham • January 10, 2017 From everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. —Psalm 90:2 Have you ever thought about the collapse of time?

The Sufficiency of God
The Sufficiency of God By Billy Graham • November 28, 2016 I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. —John 10:10 In God’s economy, you must go down into the valley of grief before you can scale the heights of spiritual glory.

The Mysteries of God
The Mysteries of God By Billy Graham • November 10, 2016 Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. —1 Corinthians 2:5 The word “mystery” is used many times in Scripture.

The grain is made into flour, and flour into bread, and man’s physical hunger is satisfied. Man hungers for love; and God ignites the fire of affection in another heart, and two hearts are…
Respect for Authority
Respect for Authority By Billy Graham • October 4, 2016 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All [authority] is given unto me in heaven and in earth. —Matthew 28:18 Have respect for authority.
