Before It's Too Late—Turn to God! by Billy Graham
What would happen today if the Bible were the supreme authority in the United States? If every individual in America would accept Christ as Savior and begin to live up to the terms of the Sermon on the Mount? Jesus Christ could solve the problems that the nation faces—the race problem, the crime problem, the home problem, the international problems. He can also lift the burdens that we have as individuals; He can reach the problems down in the innermost recesses of our own souls. …
Many of you have frustrations and difficulties on a personal level. You have a civil war raging inside of you. I want to tell you that Jesus Christ can solve that problem and lift that heavy burden. He can bring peace to your soul.
A member of the British Parliament once said, “Let’s try God and see if He won’t solve our problems.” My message today to the nations of the world is this—turn to God before it is too late! And that is my message to you as an individual as well. Turn to God before it is too late.
"To the faithful you show yourself faithful, to the blameless you show yourself blameless, to the pure you show yourself pure, but to the devious you show yourself shrewd. You save the humble, but your eyes are on the haughty to bring them low" (2 Samuel 22:26-28).
Have you completely turned to God?
Prayer
Lord, forgive us for turning our backs on You and thinking we can go on in our strength. As we humble ourselves, please give us strength to live as we should and to point others to Christ. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
