    By Rev Billy Graham...

    Why We Have the Bible
    God caused the Bible to be written for the express purpose of revealing to us God’s plan for His redemption. God caused the Book to be written that He might make His everlasting laws clear to His children, and that they might have His great wisdom to guide them, and His great love to comfort them as they make their way through life. For without the Bible this world would indeed be a dark and frightening place, without signpost or beacon. The Bible easily qualifies as the only book in which God’s revelation is contained.

    There are many bibles of different religions; there is the Mohammedan Koran, the Buddhist Canon of Sacred Scripture, the Zoroastrian Zend-Avesta, and the Brahman Veda . . . They all begin with some flashes of true light, and end in utter darkness. Even the most casual observer soon discovers that the Bible is radically different. It is the only Book that offers redemption to us and points the way out of our dilemma.

    Daily Prayer
    Lord Jesus, as I read Your Word, Your truth shines through and illuminates a dark world.

    but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.

    Unless there is within us that which is above us, we will soon yield to that which is around us.

    You get your goose cooked real fast with a hot temper.

    Common sense is seeing things as they are and doing things as they should be done.

    Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.

    The trouble with life in the fast lane is that you get to the other end in an awful hurry.

    Impossible only means you haven’t found the solution yet.

    Verse of the Day
    Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

    Good character, like good food, is made at home.

    There is no danger of developing eyestrain from looking on the bright side of things.

    Never let a fool kiss you and never let a kiss fool you.

    Don’t plant more garden than your wife can hoe.

    Be thankful for your problems, for if they were less difficult, someone with less ability would have your job.

    By Rev Billy Graham...

    God Loves You!
    Never question God’s great love, for it is as unchangeable a part of God as is His holiness. Were it not for the love of God, none of us would ever have a chance in the future life. But God is love! And His love for us is everlasting.

    The promises of God’s love and forgiveness are as real, as sure, as positive, as human words can make them. But, like describing the ocean, its total beauty cannot be understood until it is actually seen. It is the same with God’s love. Until you actually possess true peace with God, no one can describe its wonders to you.

    Daily Prayer
    Yes, almighty God, I have felt the consolation of Your love!

    Tact is the ability to make a point without making an enemy.

    Go swiftly, but do not hurry. Tibetan proverb

    You’ll always stay young if you live honestly, eat slowly, sleep sufficiently, work industriously, worship faithfully, and lie about your age.

    The philosophy of the classroom in one generation will become the philosophy of the government in the next. Abe Lincoln

    Just because you silence a man doesn’t mean you’ve converted him.

    Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great.

    Money constantly changes hands; and people too.

    Power constantly changes hands: and people too.

    What isn’t tried will never work.

    Luck is preparation meeting opportunity.

    In putting off what you really want to do, you run the risk of never being able to do it.

    Most men, when they think they are thinking, are merely rearranging their prejudices. Knute Rockne

    Opportunity has to knock. But all temptation has to do is stand outside and whistle.

    Knowledge is not wisdom. It is the application of knowledge that brings wisdom.

    Knowledge is not power, it is only potential power.

    The most difficult part of climbing the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom.

    Verse of the Day
    “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
    Matthew 5:14-16 NIV

    Ideas and ideals really become the main track of life.

    The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.

    The best place to succeed is where you are, with what you have. Charles Schwab

    Charity is injurious, unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it. John D. Rockefeller Jr.

    The soul without imagination is like an observatory without a telescope.
