Message preached by Rev. Aubrey P. White at The Moody Church on Sunday, June 7, 1953.
“And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”—Luke 23:33
We may well ask the question, Why are there three crosses on Calvary? Crucifixion was a common thing in that early day. Darius crucified 300 at one time, and in Tyre there is the record of 2,000 being put to death by crucifixion at one time. Here we have 3 crosses—not 5 or …
I have come to you today for just one purpose and that is to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. To do so is my principal business in the world.
I desire to make it very plain to all those who know me in my new activities connected with Wheaton College that I have not changed my sacred vocation, that my business is to preach Christ and Him crucified. I have a new field of labor but not a new vocation.
So far as I can remember, I have never refused an opportunity to preach the Gospel when …
The following is a synopsis of an address delivered last month at the commencement exercises of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago by the class speaker representing the graduates of the Pastors’ Course. We are glad to give space to this clear, forceful treatise not only because it is sane and scriptural and the testimony of the author who is one of our most valued active members, but because it is also the testimony of The Moody Church.
Some of us are about to enter upon what will be our life work. Whether we go to the people of a …
Sermon delivered by Rev. R.H. Glover, M.D. at The Moody Church, August 1, 1926.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” —2 Corinthians 2:14
We are indebted for this beautiful text, as we are for many another in God’s Word, to the circumstances of severe trial out of which it came. These circumstances were, briefly stated, as follows: From Ephesus, Paul had written and sent his first epistle to the Corinthians and later had dispatched Titus in order to learn the …
“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.” —1 …
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” —Philippians 2:5–8
I find that the commentators and expositors differ quite radically as to the deepest import of the wonderful statement of our text and I am …
Politics: The Dangers That Lie Ahead—The Real Battle is Just Beginning
With a new administration in charge in Washington, there is the possibility that the church of Jesus Christ might relax its focus on the battles ahead; in other words, many may think the battle for our freedoms is over because the newly-elected president of the United States is protecting the freedoms of speech and religion. We can rejoice that President Trump has pardoned pro-life demonstrators who were convicted by the previous administration, that pastors are being invited to the White House to discuss religious freedom, and that steps have …
“Christianity is the only major religion to have as its central event the humiliation of its God.” So writes Buce Shelly in the opening line of his book, Church History in Plain Language.
The humiliation of God!
One indication that we do not understand the cross today is that it’s difficult to find anyone who says anything against it. Crosses are worn as pendants by athletes and rock stars; it has become a symbol of general goodwill and acceptance. The cross is seen as simply an ancient symbol that can be easily combined with an undefined spirituality or, for …
[Clarence] Darrow tried to floor [William Jennings] Bryan in the Dayton Court [during the State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes trial of 1925] with some difficult questions about the Bible.
Was the world made in six days? Did a whale swallow Jonah? Where did Cain get his wife? Did the sun stand still for Joshua? How old is man?
And many other questions about incidents that have often puzzled Scripture students.
Bryan gave brief replies to the lawyer’s questions.
Now, Dr. R.A. Torrey, famous Bible scholar, and former New Englander, explains in detail why Fundamentalists like Bryan readily believe …
You will find the text in the epistle tot he Hebrews. Hebrews 12:6, “For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.”
In connection with this passage, I would like to read some verses in the context. “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much …
