No one is immune from the temptation to sin, but a willingness to embrace Christ’s light of forgiveness will supplant the darkness.

Billy Graham Quote

Too many Christians have geared their program to please, to entertain, and to gain favor from this world.  We are concerned with how much, instead of how little, like this age we can become.

From John 15:19:  “ If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own.  Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.”

Billy Graham (1918-2018) was an American Christian evangelist.

As Americans, our nation heals and comes together when we can be open and honest about remembering the failed experiments from our nation’s past.

Transformation From Within

From Titus 2:11-12:  “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly.”

Creator’s grace at work

Chips away at inner soul

Molding changes with purpose

Character becomes whole

 

Spirit calmly at work

Transformation from within

Leading with heavenly light

Word’s breath no longer thin

 

Savior’s presence at work

Every parable speaks

Teaching with His gentle touch

Mercy leads to each peak

 

Faith’s endurance at work

Nope nurtured in Christ above

Maturing with each seed sown

Confident in His love

 

Man’s faithfulness at work

Warmed by each morning’s sunrise

Following God’s commandments

Integrity shall rise

From Hebrews 6:17-18:   “In the same way, when God desired to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of His purpose, He guaranteed it by an oath, so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us.”
