    By Rev Billy Graham...

    Whose Son Is He?
    Ultimately, in one way or another, or at one time or another, we shall be faced with this question: What think ye of Christ? Whose Son is He? If Jesus Christ is not who He claimed to be, He is a deceiver, or an egomaniac. We must answer this question with both belief and action. We must not only believe something about Jesus, but we must do something about Him. We must accept Him, or reject Him.

    Jesus made clear who He was, and why He came into the world. He asked His disciples, “Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am?” They told Him of a variety of designations on the human level. Then Jesus turned to them and asked, “But whom say ye that I am?” Whereupon Peter replied with his historic affirmation, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:13–16).

    This is the apex of faith. This is the pinnacle of belief. This is where the faith of each must rest if he hopes for salvation. Christ is inescapable! You, too, must decide, “What shall I do with Christ?”

    Daily Prayer
    You are the Christ, Lord Jesus, Son of the living God! In adoration I worship You—my Redeemer.

    But for us, There is one God, the Father, by whom all things were created, and for whom we live. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things were created, and through whom we live.
    1 Corinthians 8:6 NLT

    An important part of praying is the willingness to be part of the answer.


    If opportunity doesn’t knock, should we build bigger doors?

    Some drink from the fountain of knowledge while others just gargle.

    It is better to encounter a danger than to live in continual fear.

    We, the willing, who are led by the knowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little, that we are now qualified to do almost anything with nothing.

    Speaking of unemployment; every human being has 160 trillion brain cells.

    What you can do or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

    Don’t forget to swing hard in case you hit the ball.

    The road to success has many tempting parking places along the way.

    Verse of the Day
    For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

    By Rev Billy Graham...

    Enjoy Life
    Christians are to enjoy life and enjoy one another. When children see no joy in their home, no joy in your Christianity, they will not be attracted by it. When they see you excited about going to a ball game, or watching television, and then dragging around to do spiritual things, they will soon get the idea that Christianity does not mean much to you. Your attitude will rub off. My wife says that the best way to get a child to eat his food is to see his parents enjoying theirs. Our children will not be attracted to Christ if we make Him seem dull.

    Daily Prayer
    May I live so close to You, Jesus, that those around me will see Your joy.

    You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.

    Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden.


    They are trying to tell us it doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. It doesn’t matter at all, until you lose.

    The Bible tells us to love our neighbors and our enemies. Perhaps that is because they frequently are the same people. Mark Twain

    Whoever lowers himself is ready to fall.


    Putting your best foot forward at least keeps it out of your mouth.


    Whoever neglects learning in his youth loses the past and is dead for the future.


    When the game is over, the king and pawn both go into the same box.


    If you fall 7 times, stand up 8.

    If there is no wind, row.

    Life is difficult. It’s even harder for stupid people.

    Any book or story you haven’t read is a new one.

    Motivation gets you started; habit keeps you going.

    If you have to choose between 2 evils, select the one you haven’t tried before.

    Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.

    Only two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former. Albert Einstein.

    Justice often leans to the side where the purse hangs.

    Once, a man would spend a week waiting if he missed a stagecoach. Now people get all honked off if they miss the first section of a revolving door or have to wait for an elevator. Even worse at a fast food restaurant or at a stoplight.

    Tell God the truth but offer the judge money. Russian proverb.

    If it can be done, it seems not a bad practice for a man to die with a boy’s heart.

    He who is slack in his work is a brother to he who destroys.

    Anyone can steer when the ocean is calm.

    Those things that hurt are very good at instructing.

    Do your work with your whole heart and you will succeed; there’s so little competition. Elbert Hubbard.
