Real Security
Real Security By Billy Graham • November 16, 2016 The foundation of God standeth sure . . . —2 Timothy 2:19 On campus the quickest way to security is through the crowd. Precisely where students talk about being independent and on their own, you will find them practicing the most rigid conformity in dress, in speech, in moral attitudes, and in thinking. Sometimes they follow fashion at the expense of integrity. They dread to be alone. They do not want…
Bread of Life
Bread of Life By Billy Graham • October 26, 2016 I am the living bread that came down from heaven . . . —John 6:51 In John 6:48 we read that Jesus said, “I am the bread of life.” Jesus had just fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fishes. They were all excited and thrilled over the great miracle that had occurred, [but] Jesus was talking about something more important than social needs. Bread in the Scriptures is…
Experience Jesus
Experience Jesus By Billy Graham • October 15, 2016 The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. —John 6:63 To one of the most religious men of His day, Jesus said, “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7). Nicodemus could not substitute his profound knowledge of religion for spiritual rebirth, and neither can we. I have read a book on water skiing, and it did not take long for me to learn that I…
The Beginning of Jesus
The Beginning of Jesus By Billy Graham • September 28, 2016 Before Abraham was, I am. —John 8:58 Jesus did not begin in Bethlehem. The Bible says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Jesus said that He existed before the foundation of the world. He was there when the moon and stars were flung out into space from the Father’s flaming fingertips. He was there when God created this…
Where is Jesus Christ?
Where Is Jesus Christ? By Billy Graham • September 13, 2016 Everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus . . . —Philippians 3:8 (TLB) “Where is Jesus Christ?” Innumerable students are studying Him and deciding whether or not Christ and the Gospel really matter-whether He is relevant in this modern age. C.S. Lewis, a professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Oxford and later at Cambridge, had to do the same thing. He…
Only Jesus
Only JesusBy Billy Graham • September 11, 2016 God . . . is the one who invited you into this wonderful friendship with his Son, even Christ our Lord. —1 Corinthians 1:9 (TLB) The question remains, “How can God be just-that is, true to Himself in nature and true to Himself in holiness-and yet justify the sinner?” Because each man had to bear his own sins, all mankind was excluded from helping, since each was contaminated with the same disease.…
The First Missionary
The First MissionaryBy Billy Graham • September 1, 2016 Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. —Matthew 4:19 Jesus Himself was the first missionary! He did not sit by passively and let those who happened to be interested in His teaching come to Him. He went out where the sick, the sorrowing, and the sad were, and expounded His message of joy, healing, and salvation. Even at a tender age, He went to the Temple and “taught”…
Make Room in your Heart
Make Room in Your HeartBy Billy Graham • August 30, 2016 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven . . . —Matthew 5:43–45 When H. G.…
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.…
Daily Devotional –
Jesus to the RescueBy Billy Graham • July 17, 2016 God is our refuge and strength, a tested help in times of trouble. —Psalm 46:1 (TLB) Scripture tells us that God tempts no one. Temptation always comes from the devil. God will test us and allow us to endure the temptation, but the devil does the tempting. How do we overcome it? A little girl once told her method. “When the devil comes knocking at the door,” she said, “I…
Daily Devotional – Our Greatest Need
Our Greatest Need By Billy Graham • June 23, 2016 God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. —John 3:17 (TLB) You can put a public school and university in the middle of every block of every city in America—but you will never keep America from rotting morally by mere intellectual education. Education cannot be properly called education which neglects the most important parts of man’s nature. Partial education throughout the world…
Daily Devotional – The Most Unique Person
The Most Unique Person By Billy Graham • June 22, 2016 Worthy is the Lamb . . . to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing. —Revelation 5:12 H.G. Wells wrote, “Christ is the most unique person of history. No man can write a history of the human race without giving first and foremost place to the penniless teacher of Nazareth.” Rabbi Stephen Wise said concerning Jesus, “You will find that He is…
