Don’t Lose Sight

Don’t Lose Sight By Billy Graham   •   January 25, 2016 . . . when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem . . . —Luke 2:45 We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine holiness, and not intramural bickering and carnal disputes. We read…

Meeting Spiritual Needs

Meeting Spiritual Needs By Billy Graham   •   January 24, 2017 Go and make disciples in all the nations . . . —Matthew 28:19 (TLB) Christian missions is unique in the aggressive movements of history. Christianity in its pure form has no “axe to grind,” no system to foster, and no profit motivation. Its job is simply to “seek and to save that which is lost.” Nothing more, nothing less. The words “apostle” and “missionary” mean the same thing: “One who…

Verse of the Day – 2 Peter 3:9 KJV

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is long suffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Wait Upon the Lord

Wait Upon the Lord By Billy Graham   •   January 23, 2017  Glory in the Lord; O worshipers of God, rejoice. Search for him and for his strength, and keep on searching! —Psalm 105:3,4 (TLB) Jerome, one of the early Christians, said, “Ignorance of the Bible means ignorance of Christ.” Job once said, “I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Jeremiah said, “Thy words were found and I did eat them; and thy word was…

The Hollow Man

The Hollow Man   Do you ever feel like something is missing inside of you?  Perhaps it is more like you just aren’t complete. Like you are hollow. I joined the Navy before I ever left High School.  It was the tail end of the Vietnam War.  (It was a war by the way, not a conflict.)  I joined the military which at the time was not that popular of an idea.  I went through my boot camp training and…

Angels Around Us

Angels Around Us By Billy Graham   •   January 22 , 2017 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth . . . —Acts 5:19 Demonic activity and Satan worship are on the increase in all parts of the world. The devil is at work more than at any other time. The Bible says that because he realizes his time is short, Satan’s activity will increase. But his evil activities are countered for…

Victory Over Death

Victory Over Death By Billy Graham   •   January 21, 2017 O death, where is thy sting? . . . —1 Corinthians 15:55 Death is the most democratic experience in life for we all participate in it. We think of its happening only to other people. We don’t like to grow old and we don’t like to die. The Bible teaches that death is an enemy of man and God. But it also teaches that this enemy, death, will ultimately be…

Verse of the Day – Matthew 6:25-26 KJV

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought of your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.  Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?  Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather in barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.  Are ye not much better than they?  

The Real You

The Real You By Billy Graham   •   January 20, 2017  For he knoweth our frame . . . —Psalm 103:14 It is significant that our first astronauts, while being trained for their moon flights, were required to give twenty answers to the query, “Who are you?” Take the same test yourself. When you have made your list and run out of things to add, ask yourself if you have truly answered. Do you really know who you are? Scientists agree…
