Topic: Looking for a Cause? [Billy Graham Devotional 13 April 2019]
Brethren . . . present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. —Romans 12:1
In a book called “The Age of Longing” we read that an American girl married a radical revolutionary in Paris. She had lost her faith at an American University—lost all the religious faith she had, and all the things her parents had told her. She was asked why she married him. She said, “He’s the first person I have ever known who believes something strong enough to die for it. Although I don’t believe exactly as he does, I was attracted to this man who had found a cause.” I find that young people today are looking for a cause, and they are not looking for something easy.
