His Presence

His Presence By Billy Graham   •   November 30, 2016 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings . . . —Philippians 3:10 W.C. Burns of India wrote, “Oh to have a martyr’s heart, if not a martyr’s crown.” Popularity and adulation are far more dangerous for the Christian than persecution. It is easy, when all goes smoothly, to lose our sense of balance and our perspective. The important thing is to…

Verse of the Day – Psalm 119:9, 11 KJV

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?  By taking heed thereto according to thy word.  Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.  

Satan at Work

Satan at Work By Billy Graham   •   November 29, 2016 In whom we have redemption . . . the forgiveness of sins. —Ephesians 1:7 Satan is at work in our world. The Bible is my authority. He exists and he has control over thousands of young people, whose hearts have never been captured by Jesus Christ. He has hundreds of agents writing pornographic literature and producing sex movies to pollute young minds. He has intellectuals in high positions teaching a…

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. You must become tired and weary of living alone before you seek and find the fellowship of Christ. You must come to the end of “self” before you can begin…

Lord, please take me from the Middle.

Lord, please take me from the Middle. I was born the third child of five.  I am in the middle. I am the only boy among four sisters.  I am in the middle. All of my life, I have been the moderate.  I have hardly ever taken the hard line, be it ‘Left’ or be it ‘Right’.  I have always been pulled to one side and then the other.  I am in the middle.  The other day I was beginning…

Realities of Life

Realities of Life By Billy Graham   •   November 27, 2016 Casting down imaginations . . . and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. —2 Corinthians 10:5 Thousands of people have made plans to escape from the realities of life. A new word has come into common usage the last few years. That word is “escapism.” The dictionary defines it as “a retreat from reality into an imaginary world.” The escape of imagination. Solomon spoke of the…

Verse of the Day – Malachi 3:1 KJV

¹  Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:  and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:  behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts.

Enjoy Life

Enjoy Life By Billy Graham   •   November 26, 2016 Now you are happy with the inexpressible joy that comes from heaven itself. —1 Peter 1:8 (TLB) Christians are to enjoy life and enjoy one another. When children see no joy in their home, no joy in your Christianity, they will not be attracted by it. When they see you excited about going to a ball game, or watching television, and then dragging around to do spiritual things, they will soon…

Whose Son Is He?

Whose Son Is He? By Billy Graham   •   November 25, 2016 To us there is but one God, the Father . . . and one Lord Jesus Christ . . . —1 Corinthians 8:6 Ultimately, in one way or another, or at one time or another, we shall be faced with this question: What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? If Jesus Christ is not who He claimed to be, He is a deceiver, or an egomaniac. We…
