Facing the Future with the Bible- President Ronald Reagan addresses the NRB Convention

“Jesus can lift our hearts, soothe our sorrows, heal our wounds, and drive away our fears.” Those words sound like something Franklin Graham or Pastor John MacArthur would say. But on today’s edition of Family Talk, you’ll discover that America’s 40th President, Ronald Reagan, made that declaration. In his 1983 speech at the National Religious Broadcasters convention, this God-fearing president cited Isaiah 40:8 which says, “The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God shall stand forever.” Reagan’s contention that “the Bible can touch our hearts, order our minds, refresh our souls” is as true today as it was then. Listen to this inspirational speech that reveals the vision of the man and the boldness that God placed on his heart.
