FINAL BILLY GRAHAM CRUSADE THIS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 7

BIGGEST WORLDWIDE TELEVISION/INTERNET EVENT EVER

We are living in not just the final days of America as a once great God-fearing nation, but Heaven's clock in running on the lifespan of all things in Creation. Our very next breath, regardless of station in life: from the lowliest to the mightiest, is not guaranteed. Scripture tells us in Psalm 90:12 to " teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."  Wisdom is in short supply these days. Godly wisdom is in even shorter supply, yet it is in high demand. Godly wisdom with the compassion and ability to share God's Truth to a corrupt, sick, evil dying world is ever rarer. I had a divine appointment with a terminal cancer patient in her 70's, who did not ever have an encounter with the Lord. Yet, everyone called her "spiritual". You know what that means - absolutely nothing. That gave me the privilege of sharing the Love of Christ; His Peace and our passing from this world to the next and how we fit into this Plan. Billy Graham has done that all his adult life, since he was born again at a Crusade in North Carolina. In a career spanning about seven decades, he has preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ to more people worldwide than any other human ever born. His crusades from the early days in the 1940's are well documented and can still be view on the Trinity Broadcasting Network every Saturday night! 

 

William Franklin Graham Jr is now about to turn 95! The Lord has given him one final word to share with the world before he departs in peace, some day, to meet his Lord and Savior. The amazing thing about this Crusade is that it may be both the easiest and least expensive in logistics and staff he has ever done! The Last Great Crusade by Billy Graham is ALL electronic! It will reach more millions of lost souls, and Billy's fellow saints like us, than packing a stadium with 100,000 and 20 TV cameras ever did! The goal is to literally meet folks where they are, where they live and operate, in order to reach them with the Gospel of Peace, Love, Joy, Repentance and Salvation - before it is too late for them! The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) which is responsible for the greatest and biggest ever crusade has developed multiple modes of outreach and invitation to both watch this vital 1/2 hour message from Billy and then discuss it, fellowship with some snacks or coffee and then pray with your friends and family!  You can watch this on your laptops and tablets at the Coffee shop or mall. You can watch it simulcast or streaming at church or down at the latest gym. You can invite a small party over to your living room or at your dorm and just reach out your heart and hands to those who are searching for Truth or those who desperately need Hope! I therefore urge one and all to visit the following Billy Graham websites, explore them and then conclude which viewing setting would be the most comfortable and appropriate for both you and your guests. Most of all, pray that this message of the Cross and Hope reach where the Lord is sending it - to receptive hearts:

THINK ON THESE THINGS - SATURDAY

ARE YOU GOING THROUGH THE STORMS OF LIFE?

How are you managing the storms of life? They come, well, fast and furious! Some are just a drizzle. Some are downpours. Some are hurricanes. Some are typhoons which can take you out to a sea of despair really quickly, if you are caught unaware.


Continuing our series on encouragement, frequent guest DERRICK BOYD, a man of God and a High School science teacher from North Carolina, has a unique perspective on Hurricanes. He lives through them endlessly! Yet, Derrick is a man with his eyes on Christ. I think you will like this short offering to the table of discussion! By the way, I tell you what, you don't find too many Science teachers in the Fellowship of Christians Athletes, or who love Jesus!! :-)

HURRICANES

It is never a dull moment when you live near the coast of North Carolina. I have lived through several hurricanes in my time. I can remember when Hugo hit when I was a child. I can even better remember Bertha and Fran two weeks apart, Bonnie the next year and Floyd two years later. So when we learned that Irene was on the way, it was just another storm. 


One of the observations that I made with this latest hurricane, is the number of people in the area that seemed to be so frightened by the thought of a hurricane hitting the coast. People felt that there was emminant danger ahead and feared for the worst. Now don't get me wrong, a hurricane is a serious affair, and not to be triffled with. 


But, it seems that all of the people that I noticed this way, have not had much experience with hurricanes. Either it be that they have not been a resident for long, or they are just too young to remember some of the storms in the past. This got me to thinking about Paul being shipwrecked on his way to Rome, and all that he went through for his faith. In a letter to the church at Corinth, he summed up what he had gone through. 


2 Corinthians 11:23-29 "23 Are they servants of Christ?—I speak as if insane—I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death. Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 


I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?" 


Paul had gone through more than any other apostle. Yet he still continued. He took it in his stride. You see, the more we are exposed to the storms of this life, and persevere through them, the stronger we become. 


The less the storms have an affect on us. We face these battles daily over our faith. When these storms do come, we need to keep our eyes on God. He knows what is going on. He understands everything that is happening to us better than we do. 


By keeping our faith and trust in the Lord, we will survive these storms, and become strengthen by them. 


If Paul can do it, so can we. 


So I encourage you today, if you are going through a trial, if the storm seems too great to overcome, turn to God and put your faith in Him. And He will see you through.
