Happy Memorial Day

by

Happy Memorial Day | WednesdayintheWord.com

Thank you to our men and women in uniform, both past and present.

On Memorial Day, we are pause to remember the many brave men and women who have given their lives throughout the history of our great nation – those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us from harm and guarantee our freedoms. We thank all those now serving and pray for their safety and blessing. We are grateful.

This is one of my favorite pictures of my uncles (in uniform) and my father (middle), who would later join the air force.

The podcast will be back.

What about your Bible studies?

Tim Challies posted a great list of free and discounted resources for your Bible studies.

My favorite: Ligonier Ministries

Ligonier Ministries has opened their collection of teaching series, (about 2,500 lectures). Plus, they added over 20 teaching series to Amazon Prime and made the group study feature at Ligonier Connect free, so you can take courses with others.

Billy Graham gives message on his 95th birthday

by

TheCross-580

Evangelist Billy Graham, who has not preached publicly since 2006 because of frail health, has filmed a public message to air on national television on November 7 – his 95th birthday – providing a rare and possibly final opportunity to see the man dubbed “America’s Pastor.”

Billy Graham has preached about the cross to millions of people around the world—and now he brings the timeless message of hope and redemption in Jesus Christ to America once more.

“Our country is in great need of a spiritual awakening,” Graham says in a program titled “The Cross.” “With all my heart, I want to leave you with the truth that He loves you and wants to forgive you of your sins.”

Tune in to the Fox News Channel at 10 p.m. Eastern on Nov. 7 to watch The Cross with Billy Graham. Find more showtimes.
