Address at the Second World Conference on Christian Fundamentals, Chicago, May 20, 1920.
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” —Revelation 16:13–14
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye …
“Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” —Revelation 3:20
Christ outside! Such is the sad picture presented to us in our text—Christ outside, waiting at the door, pleading for entrance, pleading to unheeding ears.
The doors have been closed to our Lord Jesus Christ ever since the day the inn at Bethlehem had no room for Him. “He is despised and rejected of men,” it was said of Him long ago, even before He came …
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” —John 1:6
This man came to make the most important announcement ever made to Earth: the announcement of the fact that God is coming down to the earth, that the kingdom of heaven is to be established among men—it is to be an actual kingdom with a real king, this king to be the Messiah, King of the Jews, King of every nation,—God himself made manifest among men.
We could not direct our attention to any man who could give us more light on our calling as members of …
I have just read a book entitled, “A Guide to the Study of the Christian Religion,” sent out from Chicago University. I wish someone would write a companion volume and entitle it “A Color-Blind Guide to the Study of the Christian Religion.” For these eminent gentlemen are blind to three things. They are blind to the purple—they see no royalty in Jesus Christ. To them He is an evolution from things before Him, and did not come down from heaven as He said He did, but came up from the mud with the rest.
God’s plan was to get his people into the land of Canaan. He never wanted them to die in the wilderness and have to come through the Jordan again, which was typical of another water crossing. So many people think that crossing the Jordan is typical of coming into the fulness of the Holy Spirit and forget that there are two types, because the parents came through the Red Sea and the children there in the wilderness had never been through the Red Sea. God had to take them through Jordan.
The experience of the fulness of the Holy Spirit …
“And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren.
“And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
“And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow?
Opening address of the Victorious Life Conference, June 23, 1920.
“Wherefore he is able to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” —Hebrews 7:25
Whenever people visit the city of Jerusalem they are shown a number of sights and wonderful places, and, if you believe everything you are told, you would believe a great deal. But, of course, whether the places are accurately stated or not every visitor goes to see what there is to be seen, and the most important place in Jerusalem in the opinion …
The formal dedication of the new home of the old Moody Mission took place on Wednesday night.
In introducing Mr. Storey, who is to be superintendent of the Mission and Director of Open Air Work, Mr. Rader spoke of the vision God had given him for the mission.
The Vision
I am sure God has given us a vision for this mission. As you know, since liquor has been put out of business, the need for the old style rescue mission is gone; but the need for the old Gospel remains the same. For a long time I have felt …
Opening address of Fifth Annual Missionary Rally, May 27, 1920.
What is the next step in getting ready for the coming of the Lord? First of all, if we are going to step at all, we must find out which way is forward. Sometimes when the fire alarm sounds people know help is needed, but they run in the wrong direction. So many of the things the church of Jesus Christ has done on Earth through the years have been in the wrong direction, that it behooves the church of God to be very careful to know the will of …
(Sermon preached in The Moody Church, July 3, 1914. Not corrected by the author).
We have been dealing with the possibilities of faith. We have seen how faith enables us to enter into fellowship with our Lord so that the soul of man becomes conjoined to Christ in the effort to win men for God. We never shall get to the end of that subject, of what it means for a man to stand up and speak to his fellow men knowing he is absolutely incompetent, but realizing all the time he is speaking that his Confederate, his Colleague, his …
