Billy Graham Daily Devotionals 19 September 2022: Change Yourself, Change the World
I do not quarrel with Karl Marx’s statement that “religion is the opiate of the people.” I never try to defend religion. Religion has spawned wars. Many so-called religious people have been characterised by prejudice, pride, bickering, and even tolerance for slavery. However, I would call you to a simple faith in Jesus, who said, “Love your neighbour as yourself.” Are you really concerned? Are you disappointed with society? If you are, I challenge you to take the first step. I challenge you to look at yourself.
Prayer for the day
Forgive me, for so often failing to love my neighbour. May my life speak to others of Your love and compassion, Lord Jesus Christ.
