New Heaven, New Earth
New Heaven, New Earth By Billy Graham • May 9, 2017 The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. —Revelation 11:15 Christianity is a Gospel of crisis. It proclaims unmistakably that this world’s days are numbered. Every graveyard and every cemetery testify that the Bible is true. Our days on this planet are numbered. The Apostle James says that life is only a vapor…
Verse of the Day – 2 Corinthians 7:1 KJV

The Influence of a Mother
The Influence of a Mother By Billy Graham • May 8, 2017 Her children arise up, and call her blessed… — Proverbs 31:28 Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children. Someone has said, “Like mother, like children.” Most of the noble characters and fine leaders of history have had good, God-fearing mothers. We are told that George Washington’s mother was pious, and that Sir Walter Scott’s mother was…
Verse of the Day – Hebrews 9:28 KJV
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
A Voice from the Past
I received a letter yesterday from a dear friend and co-worker at American Airlines. I have referred to him or his actions several times in past letters. Jeff was one of the first ‘real’ Christians that I met as an adult and I didn’t even realize it at the time. I thought I would share parts of his letter with you because it blessed me, and I hope you will find a blessing in it as well. – Roscoe (Christian…
Truth Brings Freedom
Truth Brings Freedom By Billy Graham • May 7, 2017 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. —John 8:36 The mark of a true Christian is found in his personal relationship to the Person of Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Christ is Christianity. I speak reverently when I say that Jesus is more than His ideas. All that He said was true, but without Him even the truth would have been powerless. Men know…
Verse of the Day – John 1:14 KJV
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Dominoes
Dominoes What a really great morning it was today! The Men’s breakfast was great! Even though a couple of the regulars were missing (And we did miss you!) we were still blessed with fifteen Christian Men sitting down to fellowship by sharing a good breakfast, praising God with beautiful music and hearing his word delivered. In his message today, Jim Best (With God’s help I’m sure . . .) managed to penetrate my thick skull with probably something very basic…
Seek God For Yourself
Seek God For Yourself By Billy Graham • May 6, 2017 Know ye that the Lord he is God; it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves . . . —Psalm 100:3 Whenever anyone asks me how I can be so certain about who and what God really is, I am reminded of the story of the little boy who was out flying a kite. It was a fine day to go kite-flying, the wind was brisk,…
Verse of the Day – James 1:2 KJV
² My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; ³ Knowing this, that the the trying of your faith worketh patience.
The Need For Love
The Need For Love By Billy Graham • May 5, 2017 Keep yourselves in the love of God . . . —Jude 1:21 A husband and wife visited an orphanage where they hoped to adopt a child. In an interview with the boy they wanted, they told him in glowing terms about the many things they could give him. To their amazement the little fellow said, “If you have nothing to offer except a good home, clothes, toys, and the…
Verse of the Day – Ecclesiastes 11:5 KJV
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
