The Mysteries of God
The Mysteries of GodBy Billy Graham • September 21, 2016 Since earliest times men have seen the earth and sky and all God made, and have known of his existence and great eternal power . . . —Romans 1:20 (TLB) If you try to rationalize God exhaustively, you will fail. There are mysteries about God that we will never understand in this life. How can the small and finite, limited to time and space, understand an infinite God! We should…
Letters from Roscoe – The Aha! Moment
Wow! Did you read today’s Daily Devotional from Billy Graham ‘God Provides’? In it, Dr. Graham explains how we exchange our bodies (currently just a tent) for a permanent house in heaven. But the big statement that made me go ‘Wow!’ is this one: “Do you think that God, who has provided so amply for living, has made no provision for dying?” If you have ever questioned your own presence here in the world, and the presence of a God and…

John Dewey once defined education as the systematic, purposeful reconstruction of experience; but so much of modern education leaves out God. What we are actually doing is reconstructing…

Time for Us By Billy Graham • July 10, 2016 Do not worry about your life . . . —Matthew 6:25 (NIV) Some people ask, “Do you think God has time for me?

Daily Devotional –
Look Deeply By Billy Graham June 16 , 2016 Open my eyes to see wonderful things in your Word. —Psalm 119:18 (TLB) Some, who doubt that the Bible is the true Word of God, doubt it because they are unwilling to ascribe to God anything they cannot themselves achieve. If you have any uncertainty about the inspiration of the Bible, go back and look at it again. Look at it in the light of a person who has been staring…
Daily Devotional – The Wisdom of God
The Wisdom of God By Billy Graham June 12 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. —Psalm 37:5 To know the will of God is the highest of all wisdom.

Daily Devotional – The Never Forsaking God
The Never-forsaking God – from Utmost.org June 4, 2016 He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” —Hebrews 13:5 What line of thinking do my thoughts take? Do I turn to what God says or to my own fears? Am I simply repeating what God says, or am I learning to truly hear Him and then to respond after I have heard what He says? “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor…

Daily Devotional – He Changes U
He Changes Us – from Billygraham.org May 12, 2016 . . . that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. —Ephesians 6:19 The word “mystery” means beyond human knowledge or understanding. God’s mysteries baffle the unbelieving, but bless the believer. The mystery of righteousness, like some of the other great mysteries of God, we cannot comprehend, but we know it works. We stand amazed at this great mystery which enables God to change…

Letters from Roscoe
I recently read a book called ‘When God Winks at You’. The book passed along numerous peoples own stories about how God had worked in their lives and then let them know that He had done it. Each little event (well, some were major) was called a God Wink. While I enjoyed the book and it’s subject matter, I didn’t like the way the book read; it made ‘God Winks’ sound like a novelty item and they aren’t. But I believe in God,…
