A Message From Billy Graham

There is happiness in the Christian life. The Apostle Paul said he could be content wherever he was—in jail, in a shipwreck. A hard life? Yes, but a happy one. You will find contentment in following Christ, because it is God’s way—and the only way. You may complain that this is a narrow point of view. You may be on a road that you may think is dead right, but God says it is dead wrong. “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death” (Proverbs 14:12).

On Jan. 1, 1930, in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena, the captain-elect of the University of California team picked up a fumbled football and began to run. He thought he was right. He was the sincerest man you ever saw. But he ran toward his own goal line and lost the game to Georgia Tech. You may be headed in the wrong direction. I am asking you to come God’s way. I am asking you to say, “By God’s grace, I am willing to let Him forgive my sins. I am going to surrender to Christ. I want a new life. I want a new direction with purpose and meaning.”
