Day By Day With Billy Graham / Truth and Fiction

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 210 of 366

Truth and Fiction

Some years ago I heard about a clergyman who had a friend who was an actor. The actor was drawing large crowds of people, and the clergyman was preaching to a few in the church. He said to his actor friend, "Why is it that you draw great crowds, and I have no audience at all? Your words are sheer fiction, and mine are unchangeable truth." The actor's reply was quite simple. "I present my fiction as though it were truth; you present your truth as though it were fiction." I fear that so often we Christians give the idea that the truth is fiction by the way we live and by the lack of dedication to the teachings of our Lord.

Daily Prayer

Lord Jesus, I would completely yield my life to You, so that others may know that the Savior I love and serve is the truth!

Psalms 145:12 NASB

12 To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts And the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom.
