A Perfect Father
A Perfect Father From Our Daily Bread – June 18, 2017 Read: Proverbs 20:3–7 The righteous lead blameless lives; blessed are their children after them.—Proverbs 20:7 My father once admitted to me, “When you were growing up, I was gone a lot.” I don’t remember that. Besides working his full-time job, he was gone some evenings to direct choir practice at church, and he occasionally traveled for a week or two with a men’s quartet. But for all the significant…
Love Despite Ourselves
Love Despite Ourselves By Billy Graham • May 15 • Topics: God’s Love . . . all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags . . . —Isaiah 64:6 The Bible teaches that all our righteousness-falling short of the divine standard as it does-is as filthy rags in the sight of God. There is absolutely no possibility of our manufacturing a righteousness, holiness, or goodness that will satisfy God. Even the best of us is impure to God. I remember one…

He Died for Us
He Died for Us By Billy Graham • April 23, 2017 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. —Romans 5:8 As we stand at the cross of Christ we see a glorious exhibition of God’s love. Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, “While we were powerless to help ourselves . . . Christ died for sinful men.” In human experience, it is a rare thing for one man…
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. You cannot say that you are friendless when Christ has said, “Henceforth I call you not servants . . . but I have called you friends” (John 15:15). To you who lament the fact that you…

Assurance of His Love
Assurance of His Love By Billy Graham • January 4, 2017 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? —Psalm 27:1 Today many people are living in the bondage of fear. In a recent study a psychiatrist said that the greatest problem facing his patients was fear. Fear of going insane, committing suicide, being alone, or fear of heart disease, cancer, disaster, or death. We are becoming a nation of fearful people. Down through the centuries…

A God of Justice
A God of Justice By Billy Graham • December 19, 2016 What joy there is for anyone whose sins are no longer counted against him by the Lord. —Romans 4:8 (TLB) A number of years ago I was stopped for driving too fast in a speed zone, and in the courtroom I pleaded guilty. The judge was not only friendly but embarrassed for me to be in his court. The fine was ten dollars. If he had let me go…
What God Has Done
What God Has Done By Billy Graham • December 13, 2016 With everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy redeemer. —Isaiah 54:8 If God is all-powerful and all-loving, it would seem inconsistent with His nature to allow anyone to be lost. Here again we rationalize because we do not understand the nature of God. God cannot go against His own laws and against His own nature. God is holy. He cannot tolerate sin in His…
