Billy Graham, The Secret of Happiness
The Beatitudes are not the whole of Jesus’ teaching, nor is even the Sermon on the Mount. (You can read the entire Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5 through 7 of the Gospel of Matthew.) There is much else that Jesus taught during the three short years of His public ministry. But Jesus was […]

What does the world need?
What does the world need more than anything else? It’s a compelling question, and depending on one’s culture, religion, and background, the answer may vary. Jason Clay, senior vice president for World Wildlife, argued in an essay for the New York Times that what the world needs most is education. “We must be on a […]

What to say when you talk to yourself
During the first eighteen years of our lives, if we grew up in fairly average, reasonably positive homes, we were told “No!” or what we could not do, more than 148,000 times! Leading behavioral researchers have told us that as much as seventy-seven percent of everything we think is negative, counterproductive, and works against us. […]

Difference making starts with the heart
The leading cause of death in the United States is heart disease. In 2015, 633,842 American lives ended as a result of heart disease, almost a quarter of total deaths that year.1 Dr. Steven Houser, president of the American Heart Association, believes “the future of cardiovascular research is to stop the disease before it starts.”2 […]

Fifteen minutes that changed the world
The greatest sermon ever preached takes only fifteen minutes to read and can be printed on a single page; yet it has changed the world more than any other speech ever made. Even Gandhi found nothing in his rich, six thousand-year-old Hindu tradition to equal it. Even atheists, agnostics, and humanists testify to its greatness. […]

When dreams die
My home state of California is known for many things: sunshine, lovely scenery, the ocean, incredible natural parks, technological innovation, high taxes, and more. Unfortunately, in recent years, my West Coast home has also gained notoriety for the high number of wildfires occurring in our dry seasons and beyond. Of course, Californians have been familiar […]

Resilience, optimism, and faith
Some meetings you’ll never forget! When I was in New York a while ago, the hotel manager pulled me aside. He knew I loved sports and offered to introduce me to a fellow guest, Clemson football head coach Dabo Swinney, whose career I’ve long followed. My family and I sat with Dabo for an hour […]

How to discover your purpose
But I also believe each of us has a personal purpose. When we look at the great difference makers of history, we see people with a specific purpose: Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel, Mary, Paul—all of these people had amazing personal purposes in the plan of God. So how can you discover your personal purpose? Let […]

The Greatest sermon ever
WHY WAS THE GREATEST SERMON EVER GIVEN TO JUST TWELVE PEOPLE? Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, […]
