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 …
Moody the Evangelist: A Character Sketch with Original Sayings By: Joseph B. Bowles, circa 1926
That great Christian leader, the late Rev. Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., editor of The Missionary Review of the World, said of Mr. Moody that more than any other man who ever lived he had come nearest reaching the world with his voice and with his pen.
Mr. Luther D. Wishard, the first college secretary of the International Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association [YMCA], expressed it thus: “Mr. Moody delivered the gospel message in a larger number of places, to a larger number of …
I have taken a text from the 139th Psalm. There are just two verses that I want to read. Psalm 139:23–24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts; and see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
If you do not get much out of my sermon you will have your soul fed and you will be wonderfully helped if you will read the 139th Psalm over some time today. It has a personal application.
I am not going to attempt anything like an exposition …
I speak of rank modernism. There are varying degrees of this heresy. Some so-called modernists, who are in the drift from the truth, but have not landed in the extreme camp of modernism, would deny the following; but if they will keep on drifting in their preaching and teaching they will practically, sooner or later, confirm what is said below:
1. Modernism in the character of Jesus substitutes “divine” for “deity.” This is a Unitarian position. The true Gospel says that Jesus is very God of very God. He who denies the deity of Jesus, and compliments Him with being …
You will know if you are at all familiar with your Bible that in the conquest of Canaan, Joshua had to meet and defeat thirty-one different kings. These were rulers over petty kingdoms. The Canaan experience of the children of Israel represents the deepest and best spiritual experience, typically speaking. We may consider these thirty-one kings as representing the different foes which we must meet and triumph over if we are to apprehend that for which we have been apprehended. God has called you and me not simply that He might take us to heaven, but that a certain purpose …
Five times in the New Testament our Lord Jesus Christ is called the only begotten and five times He is called the first-born or the first-begotten. Five times our Lord is called the only begotten—that is what He is in His essential deity. Five times He is called first begotten—that is what He became as a man. All I shall attempt to do is to turn you from one Scripture to another, linking these together with a few comments to bring out the true deity and the true humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 …
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 …
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 …
