Billy Graham, was a man of God who reflected God’s glory. He is a man who was preserved from scandal and unbelief. God’s anointing was on Billy to faithfully preach the Gospel to hundreds of thousands of people, many coming to follow our Lord Jesus Christ.
Billy was biblically faithful. He called us to be biblically faithful. It is not what we think, but “what the Bible says!”
In our Bible study Series, “Growing in God’s Grace,” we are now focusing on the Scriptures as a habit of God’s grace to shape our lives. So, in honour of Billy, this post contains Billy Graham’s notable quotes about the Bible-God’s voice to us. May it so fill your heart and mind to action in growing closer to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Tim Stephenson,
A quick update from Austria as we approach the midway point:
Day 3 report from The Oasis. After working two long days well into the evenings we are making good progress and now believe we can complete the task before us. The Oasis team have made us very welcome and send blessings and thanks to all at CBC. Today we start tiling floors and walls before fitting shower toilet and basin. Thanks for all the prayer support.
Martin, Chris, Paul and Stu
Good to see you’ve made time for a quick game of Tetris Chris! 😉
Please keep praying for the CBC team, the Austria team and indeed all the refugees that will be without their regular programme this week.
