Safe Place with Ruth Graham

It is with great grief we hear of Ravi Zacharias’ sins. Another giant has fallen. As we grieve our many-leveled loss, let us come to grips with the fact that our sins are just as grievous to a Holy God. The truth Ravi taught is still the truth. We can be thankful that we have…

Dear Mr. President, You have cared deeply about this country and it’s greatness. You fought hard against those who seek to weaken our values, or destroy them all together. Our culture has changed. Our values have changed. We call evil good and good evil. We not only tolerate evil, we celebrate it. You took a…

It’s a new year. But my same face stares at me from the mirror. My same problems seem to still be with me. The news certainly didn’t get any better. I made no resolutions – I know myself better than that! The government is in a mess. COVID is still with us. Just because we…

What happened in Bethlehem the day after Jesus was born? We are not told. But we can certainly imagine. We know the shepherds went back praising God. The Magi had not yet come. Mary, just a teenager, was trying to recover from giving birth to her newborn son, Jesus. She had no female relative to…

Merry Christmas! There are 300 prophecies in the Old Testament about Jesus’ birth. They were all true! He came just as He promised. There are thousands of prophecies about His coming again. And He will keep those promises. He is coming again, just as He said!

Apparently, from what I am hearing on the news there is an effort to “cancel Thanksgiving”. I am not sure it is intended to be such but the consequences feel like it. We are told to restrict our gatherings to a bare minimum. In one state it is limited to six people, in another it…

There is a hymn that speaks to me in days national uncertainty. I pass it on to you. It is a prayer that is appropriate for this election season. “God of grace and God of glory, On Thy people pour Thy power; Crown Thine ancient Church’s story, Bring her but to glorious flower. Grant us…

My father, Billy Graham, prayed this prayer at Richard Nixon’s inauguration. Sometimes when we don’t know how to pray it’s good to look to others who do know how. We are at a critical juncture in our nation. We need to pray. Our Father and our God, Thou hast said, “Blessed is that nation whose…

Posted where I can see it regularly is the Bible verse, Psalm 90:14: “Oh satisfy us in the morning with your lovingkindness, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” I began to think about that. Certainly we must be satisfied with His marvelous, endless, boundless lovingkindness. But how many of…
