Billy Graham – How to Live the Christian Life (1957)


For one to grow properly certain rules must be observed for good spiritual health. Here are 10 Guidelines for Christian Living by Billy Graham:

1. Read your Bible daily. Do not be content to skim through a chapter merely to satisfy your conscience. Hide the Word of God in your heart. It comforts, guides, corrects, encourages – all we need is there.

2. Learn the secret of prayer. Prayer is communicating. Every prayer that you pray will be answered. Sometimes that answer may be “Yes” and sometimes “No,” and sometimes it is “Wait,” but nevertheless it will be answered.

3. Rely constantly on the Holy Spirit. We know that the Holy Spirit prays for us (Romans 8), and what a comfort that should be to the weakest of us. Stand aside and let Him take over all the choices and decisions of your life.

4. Attend church regularly. The visible church is Christ’s organization upon earth. Christians need one another, we need to gather together to worship God and nothing can take the place of church attendance.

5. Be a witnessing Christian. We witness in two ways: by life and by word – and the two, where possible, should go hand in hand.

6. Let love be the ruling principle of your life. Jesus said to those who followed Him, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:35). The greatest demonstration of the fact that we are Christians is that we love one another.

7. Be an obedient Christian. Let Christ have first place in all the choices of your life.

8. Learn how to meet temptation. Temptation is not sin. It is yielding that is sin. Let Christ through the Holy Spirit do the fighting for you.

9. Be a wholesome Christian. Our lives and appearance should commend the Gospel and make it attractive to others.

10. Live above your circumstances. Don’t let your circumstances get you down. Learn to live graciously within them, realizing the Lord Himself is with you.

“Nothing But The Blood” Live At Billy Graham Training Center, Gaither Homecoming

By

InGospel Music, Headline

Powerful rendition of this classic hymn “Nothing But the Blood of Jesus” by the Gaither Homecoming group concert! Nothing But The Blood of Jesus is a traditional American hymn about the blood atonement and propitiation for sin by the death of Jesus as explained in Hebrews 9. The song was composed by Robert Lowry, a hymn writer who was a Baptist minister and professor at Bucknell University.

“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Nothing But The Blood Live At Billy Graham Training Center

Nothing But the Blood

by Bill & Gloria Gaither

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon, this I see,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
For my cleansing this my plea,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Nothing can for sin atone,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Naught of good that I have done,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my hope and peace,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
This is all my righteousness,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Now by this I’ll overcome—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
Now by this I’ll reach my home—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Glory! Glory! This I sing—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus,
All my praise for this I bring—
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Zac Poonen: Manifesting the Holiness and Compassion of God

By

InFeatured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

Jesus said: “I desire compassion and not sacrifice.” One of the dangers the pharisees had was they lacked compassion because they were so righteous. One of the dangers we can face in pursuing righteousness is the lack compassion for sinners, backsliders, evil people, and even compromisers. We don’t have to compromise with them. Jesus sat among sinners. There was no sin in Him. He went there and He told them the truth. So we should act with a lot of compassion to a lot of people who are backsliders or who don’t agree with the truth and we don’t leave them in that condition. That can be our ministry. Jesus could go in their midst and save them. He said: “I did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”

Can I Hang Out with Unbelievers and be a Good Witness of Christ?

By

OnJune 29, 2022

InEvangelism, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

So you’re a Christian. Most likely, you have people around you: in your family, at your workplace, at your neighborhood, who are non-Christian yet. Now here’s a dilemma. You want to hang out with these people. With all your good motives, you want to win them for the Kingdom of God. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy as you are faced and challenged with compromising your faith. We read from the Bible that Jesus was around sitting, eating, and talking with sinners. Has he set a boundary for us to follow? What is the best way to handle this? Watch this video of Dr. Charles Stanley answering this very important question of our Christian faith.

Can I Hang Out with Unbelievers?

  • He who walks with wise men will be wise,
    But the companion of fools will be destroyed. – Proverbs 13:20
  • The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
    For the way of the wicked leads them astray. – Proverbs 12:26
  • Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness?And what communion has light with darkness? – 2 Cor 6:14

David Wilkerson – Preparing for the Last Days

InFeatured, Headline, Preaching/Sermons

How to survive the end times? Are you prepared? What is our attitude as we are nearing the end times? “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.”” – 1 Peter 7-8.

The Day and Hour Unknown (Matthew 24:36-44)

36“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,but only the Father.

37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;

39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.

41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

42“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

43But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.

44So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
