Safe Place with Ruth Graham

I had the honor of visiting West Virginia’s only maximum security prison this weekend, Mt. Olive. I was invited to do so by Catalyst Ministries out of Charleston lead by Calvin Sutphin. Calvin is a man of great compassion and vision. This was actually the third time I’ve had the privilege of going there. I…

My brother, Franklin, certainly stirred up a hornet’s nest! Let me tell you something – he’s been that was since he was a young boy – he could make all three of his older sisters cry at the same time and he’d be grinn’ like a Cheshire cat! Be he asked for prayer for President…

An opinion writer at the Washington Post, Jennifer Rubin, wrote an opinion criticizing my brother, Franklin Graham, for saying that Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg’s homosexual lifestyle is a sin. She quotes a Robert Jones from the People’s Religious Research Institute, “While Franklin Graham has not changed his tune on LGBT rights in decades, the American…

The angels sat around drinking their heavenly coffee and discussing the last thirty years.They had been horrified when the Heavenly Father sent their precious Jesus to earth – that blue ball inhabited by rebellious people. The Father had confined Jesus to the womb of a teenage girl then He was squeezed thorough a birth canal,…

Someone passed this on to me. I thought it was too good to keep to myself! “The test will cover the last seven chapters”. Those words or something like them still strike anxiety or fear in me. It did help a bit if we were told “here is what you need to know”. It would…

It was a joy to be able to return to Angola Prison two weeks ago. I saw many men I met years ago when the team for Ruth Graham & Friends went to hold a conference there with the men. It felt like a reunion. We didn’t have a lot of time there. A group…

My new book manuscript is in! Praise the Lord! It’s like delivering a baby. Now the doctors (editors) say “Isn’t it nice. But lets’ take off this toe and this finger and rearrange this arm.” The editing process is grueling. However, the Word of the Lord is eternal and true. Psalm 123:2 talks about us…

I live in Virginia. It has always been a lovely, genteel state. Maybe we are a bit arrogant in our thinking of ourselves…UVA is called “The University”, as if there are no others…! My mother used to laughingly say, North Carolina was “A valley of humiliation between two mountains of conceit.” Her parents were both…

Well, I guess I finally have to weigh in on the shutdown… This is a difficult time for so many. I pray it will end soon. Many are working without pay. Why can’t Congress forgo their pay during this time in solidarity with the Federal workers? If they had to feel the pinch, they’d soon…

I had an interesting conversation with my 9-year-old grandson yesterday morning. He was asking how I could be sure God was the real God when there were thousands of God’s. He likes to argue. The last Psalm, 150, which I read this last day of the year is full of praise for our exalted God.…
