Our Basic Need
Our Basic Need By Billy Graham • April 20, 2017 . . . he hath set his love upon me . . . —Psalm 91:14 A basic need of mankind is affection. Those who “abide in Him” are objects of God’s affection and love.

This is about as minimal as a post gets. Sic enim dilexit Deus mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam. Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit. Omnis enim quicumque invocaverit nomen Domini salvus erit.
Depend on Him
Depend on Him By Billy Graham • April 19, 2017 I advise you to obey only the Holy Spirit’s instructions. He will tell you where to go and what to do, and then you won’t always be doing the wrong things your evil nature wants you to. —Galatians 5:16 (TLB) To walk in the Spirit is a challenging and inspiring exercise, for it combines activity with relaxation. To walk means to place one foot in front of the other. If…

Christ Is Our Comforter
Christ Is Our Comforter By Billy Graham • April 18, 2017 . . . realize that your heavenly Father will . . . give the Holy Spirit to those who ask for him. —Luke 11:13 (TLB) Before He left His disciples, Christ promised that He would send a Comforter to help them in the trials, cares, and temptations of life.

Verse of the Day – 1 Peter 2:15-16 KJV
It is God’s will that your honorable lives should silence those ignorant people who make foolish accusations against you. For you are free, yet you are God’s slaves, so don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do evil.
The Amalgam
The Amalgam I had a reader recently ask when I was going to share something from our trip to the Far East. Yes, I do have a reader. So don’t act so surprised. I actually have two if you include my wife … But back to the Far East, which by the way we traveled West to get to. The most astonishing thing was the difference in culture between us and the Japanese. I began to notice it before we even…
We Worship a Risen Savior!
We Worship a Risen Savior! Yesterday was Easter! The day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Like Brother Eddie said, ours is the only religion that worships a Living God. Try that on for size! I need to tell you about something that happened over the weekend. On Saturday, we received a phone call from a friend of ours. She said she had just gotten home from her church’s Easter service. I said “Wait a minute, today…
The Ability to Believe
The Ability to Believe By Billy Graham • April 17, 2017 . . . believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead . . . —Romans 10:9 It is impossible to believe anything into existence. The Gospel did not come into being because men believed it. The tomb was not emptied of Christ’s body that first Easter because some faithful persons believed it. The fact preceded the faith. We are psychologically incapable of believing without an…
Verse of the Day – Philippians 2:3 KJV
³ Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind each esteem other better than themselves.
Wisdom to Understand
Wisdom to Understand By Billy Graham • April 16, 2017 Behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest. —Genesis 28:15 When Jesus uttered His words of comfort in the first few verses of the fourteenth chapter of John’s Gospel, concluding with, “And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know” (John 14:4), Thomas said unto Him, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?” (John…
