A Red Letter Day!

A Red Letter Day! Last Sunday I gave my testimony.  To the Church.  The whole Church. But Cindy missed it again. You see, this was the second time in my life that I had stood up and given my testimony for God.  Both times she was somewhere else in the church at the time.  This time she was in the Nursery. It began the moment I walked into the sanctuary yesterday morning.  I sat down on the front pew and…

He Give Us Life Eternal

He Gives Us Life Eternal By Billy Graham   •   February 28, 2017 These things have I written unto you that believe . . . that ye may know that ye have eternal life . . . —1 John 5:13 Recently I read that it will cost this country a hundred billion dollars to get one man safely to Mars. It cost God the priceless blood of His only Son to get us sinners to heaven. By tasting death for every…

Verse of the Day – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,    Doth no behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;    Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;   Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.    Charity never faileth:  but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,…

God Our Comforter

God Our Comforter By Billy Graham   •   February 27, 2017 I, even I, am he that comforteth you . . . —Isaiah 51:12 There is also comfort in mourning, because in the midst of mourning God gives a song. His presence in our lives changes our mourning into song, and that song is a song of comfort. This kind of comfort is the kind which enabled a devout Englishman to look at a deep dark hole in the ground where…

Practice the Fruits of the Spirit

Practice the Fruits of the Spirit By Billy Graham   •   February 26, 2017 But when the Holy Spirit controls our lives he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control . . . —Galatians 5:22,23 (TLB) Christ can rid you of inner conflict. Man without God is always torn between two urges. His nature prompts him to do wrong, and his conscience urges him to do right. Antagonistic desires and…

Verse of the Day – Psalms 139:13-14 KJV

For thou hast possessed my reins:  thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.    I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:  marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

I Wanna Talk About Me

I Wanna Talk About Me   Remember that Toby Keith song from fifteen or sixteen years ago?  The one where he is telling his girlfriend that ‘ocassionally’ he’d like to talk about him.  Cindy kind of had the same thought . . . The other night, Cindy and I were watching TV when she asked me if I had written any Letters from Roscoe lately.  I told her, “No.  I’m waiting on inspiration.” She quickly replied, “You know, they don’t…

Change of Heart

Change of Heart By Billy Graham   •   February 25, 2017 Christ taught you! If you have really heard his voice . . . then throw off your old evil nature-the old you that was a partner in your evil ways . . . —Ephesians 4:20-22 (TLB) Paul before his conversion was not meek. Proudly and brutally, he apprehended all Christians and sought to destroy them. He was bigoted, selfish, and vaunted. But when he wrote his warm and affectionate letter…

He Is Merciful

He Is Merciful By Billy Graham   •   February 24, 2017 Who is a God like unto thee . . . he delighteth in mercy. —Micah 7:18 Many people want to hear what God says just out of curiosity. They want to analyze and dissect it in their own test tubes. To these people, God may remain the great cosmic silence “out there somewhere.” He communicates to those who are willing to hear and receive Him, and willing to obey Him.…
