Hope for the Future
Hope for the Future By Billy Graham • October 31, 2016 For our citizenship is in heaven; from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. —Philippians 3:20 (NASB) If you are moving to a new home, you want to know all about the community to which you are going. And since we will spend eternity some place, we ought to know something about it. The information concerning heaven is found in the Bible. When we…

God is Love!
God Is Love! By Billy Graham • October 30, 2016 Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love . . . —Jeremiah 31:3 As I read the Bible, I find love to be the supreme and dominant attribute of God. The promises of God’s love and forgiveness are as real, as sure, as positive, as human words can make them. But the total beauty of the ocean cannot be understood until it is seen, and it is the same…
Verse of the Day – Psalms 18:2 KJV
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation and my high tower.
Battle of the Spirit
Battle of the Spirit By Billy Graham • October 29, 2016 Let the peace of God rule in your hearts . . . —Colossians 3:15 When we examine the problems that confront us in our world today, we find that every one of them resolves into a problem of “inner space,” a problem of the dark side of the human spirit. From thousands of letters we receive, it is evident that a large proportion of the population is facing deep…
Verse of the Day – Hebrews 6:10 KJV
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Genuine Love
Genuine Love By Billy Graham • October 28, 2016 . . . being knit together in love . . . —Colossians 2:2 Thousands of young couples go through with a loveless marriage because no one ever told them what genuine love is. I believe we need to read the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, in which the Apostle Paul gives us a definition of love. He says, “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is…
Verse of the Day – 1 John 1:7 KJV
But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

He made a…
Verse of the Day – John 16:33 KJV
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Going Home
This week Cindy and I traveled south to visit an elderly aunt of mine that lives near the coast in Florida’s panhandle. To get there, we had to pass through my old home town. Things have really changed in the forty plus years since I left. Throughout the trip I felt like God was trying to tell me something. I would see things and feel like there was a message in what I was seeing and that I needed to…
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…
