“And Mary brought forth her first born child, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.” —Luke 2:7
Those of us who believe in the inspiration of the Scriptures, believe in “the inspiration of selection.” That is to say, we do not have in the Gospels a full and complete account of all that Jesus said or did. We have only those events, narratives, incidents, and sayings which were necessary to record for the redemptive purpose for which Christ came into the world. There are many …
Our theme is Your Family and God. We are thinking not simply of your family, but of your family—and God. It is one thing to rear a family. It is quite another to bring God into that family. It is one thing to make a home. It is quite another to make that home a Christian home. The chief task then for every Christian parent is not simply to make a home—anyone can do that—but to make that home a Christian home. We are concerned with the how of this task, how to bring God into the home, or …
I am very grateful to Mr. Philpott for the kind way in which he has presented me to you, and if he has had any blessing through my ministry, I may say in return that I have been richly blessed by his ministry. I consider it a great privilege this evening to attempt to take his place.
I am going to read three verses of Scripture only, and if these should seem somewhat strange to you as a Scripture reading, I shall endeavor very shortly to let you know why I have read them. These three verses are found in …
We are beginning today a series of at least four sermons on Bible Types of Modern Men, and this morning our subject is “The Man Who Won and Lost.”
You will find the text in Genesis 13:10–11: “And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the …
November 1921: An Appeal to The Moody Church for Prayer issued by the Board of Elders
During more than a half century past God has been pleased to give to The Moody Church a world-wide testimony, through which thousands have been pointed to the Lamb of God and multitudes have been saved.
Christ has been exalted, the Bible believed from cover to cover, the Gospel preached in its fullness, discipline maintained in the Church, and all things have been done “decently and in order” as unto the Lord, even though on the human side we have been conscious again and …
I made a covenant twenty-six years ago that every Sunday night I would preach the Gospel of the grace of God for the sake of those who might want to know the way of Life. We live in a city of three million. What a place to witness for Jesus Christ! What a sad thing to go out of the presence of this need and stand in His presence without having tried to bring someone to a knowledge of the truth!
I want to read you a few verses of Scripture from the sixteenth chapter of the Acts: “And at …
O Saviour! Who, from earth’s conflicting voices, Art calling me to Thy seclusion sweet; Give me a heart that, still and calm, rejoices To sit, with Mary, at Thy blessed feet. For marvels of this secret place are known To him who in it dwells with Thee, alone.
In the secret of His presence we may lay bare to Him, without fear, the inmost secrets of the soul. This is what we cannot do even to the dearest friend on Earth. It is what we sometimes dare not do. Our lips are sealed for very shame. But freely and unrestrainedly …
“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” —Hebrews 13:15–16
Deuteronomy 26 was read as a Scripture lesson. If our readers will open their Bibles to that chapter and keep it before them, they will follow the sermon with greater clearness.
In this twenty-sixth chapter of Deuteronomy we have what undoubtedly gave rise to the Puritans’ harvest home festival. It was Israel’s national Thanksgiving day and …
Message preached by Dr. J. Sidlow Baxter at The Moody Church on Sunday, July 5, 1953.
When the first preachers of the Gospel went through the Roman Empire, 2000 years ago, they could not sow the seed of Christian truth upon virgin soil. The ground was already full of other growths. Everywhere that those first heralds of the Cross made their way, they found men’s minds full of religious and philosophical ideas; and the famous so-called “Mystery” religions had penetrated into practically every part of the Roman dominion. Some of these old-time religions, in their doctrines of the taurobolium, …
“As a prince hast thou power with God and with men.” —Genesis 32:28, KJV
I presume if I were to ask the members of this congregation to name their favorite Bible character, we would receive a great variety of answers. I know that some would pick Joseph, others Jonathan or David; and some might choose Samuel, while others undoubtedly would select Daniel, but I do not think anyone would pick Jacob as their favorite, and yet it is well for me to remind you that God has more to say about Jacob in the Bible than any other person, apart …
