I want to read you three or four verses from John’s Gospel, the 20th chapter, beginning with verse 24:
“But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, …
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 …
“For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have …
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 …
