A Record attendance gathered in the Main Auditorium of The Moody Church on Friday, December 31, 1944, for the annual Watch Night service. The meeting had been widely advertised and multitudes were looking forward to a special celebration.
One of the principal events was the burning of the last note of indebtedness on The Moody Church building. Dr. P.W. Philpott, our former pastor, under whose ministry the present Memorial Church and Sunday School building was started and dedicated, was requested to cremate the last debit indenture.
The program of the evening started with a period …
The city is here to stay. We cannot ignore, deplore, or flee it forever.
At the present time, ninety percent of Earth’s inhabitants live in five percent of Earth’s area. Within the next century it is claimed that 30 billion people may live in a universal city that covers the globe. Already the United States is a metropolitan society with at least 60 percent of its population clustered in the cities. In the cities, the future of America will be decided for better or for worse.
While the population of the cities mounts and continues, evangelicals, for the most part, …
During the course of Founder’s Week Conference, I delivered a message based upon this text, the theme being “The Proof of the Christian Ministry,” or the evidences which should always be present to mark a Holy Spirit anointed ministry. In commenting upon the 22nd verse of [1 Corinthians 9], in which Paul declares that he was made all things to all men, that he might by all means save some, I made a statement concerning the need for a display of a united front within the church to the world, for a sinking of some of our minor theological differences …
Part 1 of 2 from The Moody Church Herald, May 1, 1910.
Speaking “with other tongues” at Pentecost means that the apostles spoke in different languages, so that the people understood them in the language in which they were born. It was evidently miraculous. It is plain, however, that the people were not converted through this speaking “with other tongues,” but through Peter’s sermon which was spoken in the Greek tongue, a language which all present could understand. The tongues phenomenon with the distributed flames of fire which sat upon each of them and the rushing mighty wind preceded the …
“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.”—Revelation 14:13
The day after our father’s death last May, we five children, who had come from different parts of the country, were sitting together and talking through our tears of his last days, and recalling the virtues of his noble life, when a messenger boy entered the room and handed me a telegram. I opened it and read aloud as follows: …
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”—Matthew 6:10
This sin-riddled world is not as it should be. There is pain, heartache, and brokenness everywhere. Just turn on the news. That’s why this phrase in the Lord’s Prayer resonates with me so deeply. We long for things to be made right “on earth as it is in heaven.” Don’t you yearn for God to mend all that’s been broken?
Jesus knows what it’s like to live in this broken-down world. And He knows how to pray His way through the heartache as well. In …
“After this manner, therefore, pray ye.”—Matthew 6:9
“Our Father.” We have seen that real prayer though public is secret in that it deals with God alone, and now it appears that even solitary prayer should be social. We are so united in family ties to all Christians that one of us cannot suffer without all suffering and none of us can rejoice without all rejoicing. A blessing upon one is, therefore, a blessing upon all and a curse upon one is a curse upon all. “I,” “me,” and “my” do not occur in this prayer, while “we,” “us,” …
In the sixth Psalm, David deals particularly with the judgments of God and the need of mercy upon the part of the individual saint, for strange as it may seem, paradoxical as it may appear to say it, saints are sinners. What I mean by that is that though every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has been sanctified in the sense that he is set apart to God in all the value of the finished work and the atoning blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and therefore he is perfected forever in His sight, yet the fact remains that …
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” —Matthew 4:4
Have you ever thought there was any strength in the words that proceeded out of the mouth of God? I thank God there came a day in my life when I began to see that I could live on the promises, that God’s Word was all that was necessary. In my little room, I began to ask, “Where did this world come from anyhow?” I knew science, but I found this little phrase in the Bible, “In whom all …
This crisis involves the whole Christian program. You may take any declaration of faith you please, put forth by a modern evangelical body, and follow its articles from the first to the last, and you will not find a one of them left intact. Modernists who are professors in our evangelical denominational schools, and later graduates who go from their feet to occupy evangelical pulpits, have not left undisputed a single declaration of our holy faith. They deny that “the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired;” they scorn the thought that “It is a perfect treasure of heavenly …
