This weekend, as we reflect on what it truly means to be the Church, Billy Graham reminds that it’s not about walls or windows – it’s about people gathered in Jesus’ name, living out His mission together.
‘Church is not a building. Church is the people who gather in the name of Jesus Christ to worship Him, serve Him, and take His message to the world.’
– Billy Graham
Remembrance Sunday is a sacred time—where silence speaks, memories echo, and honour is given. But it is also a moment to lift our eyes.
We remember not only those who gave their lives for peace—but the One who gave His life to bring us eternal peace.
In the words of Billy Graham:
‘I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.’
Thought for today and everyday – In the busyness of daily life, it’s often the quiet acts of kindness, faithfulness, and grace that shine the brightest.
‘We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won’t need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don’t fire cannons to call attention to their shining—they just shine.‘ — D. L. Moody
This week let this quote by Eric Liddell inspire you to share the gospel with someone care about who, as yet, doesn’t know the Lord – “We are all missionaries. Wherever we go, we either bring people nearer to Christ, or we repel them from Christ.”
As we reflect on the hope we have in Christ, let’s not forget the urgency of sharing it with others — because good news is only good if it’s heard in time.
“The gospel is not good news unless it gets there in time.” — Billy Graham
Isn’t it often the little things that leave the biggest impact? A kind word, a quiet prayer, a simple act of service—God sees it all. So be encouraged because, as D. L. Moody reminds us, “There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.”
Billy Graham reminds us that, “God has given us two hands — one to receive with and the other to give with.” So, as we remember God’s generosity this Harvest time, may we respond with thankful hearts and open hands — ready to bless others as He has so richly blessed us.
When you are feeling tired, inadequate and about to give you – then look in the mirror and read this out loud – ‘If God can use a broken, weak vessel to accomplish His purposes, He can surely use you. Say yes to His call and watch Him work through your life’ – D L Moody.
Not sure what you can do for your neighbour this week? Well Billy Graham has something to say about that. “True love is an act of the will – a conscious decision to do what is best for the other person instead of ourselves.” Now go ahead and put that advice into practice.
“There comes a moment when we all must realise that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.” Billy Graham.
