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 …
“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 …
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 …
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 …
I want to take you through the Word of God and see what it reveals concerning the personality and activities of the great adversary of our souls—the devil. Let me first read from the eighth chapter of John’s Gospel words uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. At verse 44, addressing those who were opposing His ministry while yet priding themselves upon their Abrahamic descent, the Lord says, “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning (the word might be translated manslayer),—and abode not in …
I am going to read a text from a narrative that gives an account of the first Christian services ever held. It is the first song service that is recorded.
Acts 16:25: “And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.”
Christianity is a religion of song and in this particular respect it is distinguished from very many of the false religions known to the world. It is a religion of song because it is a religion of gladness. Christ not only saves the soul but He satisfies the longing of the …
“And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publicly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there.” —Acts 20:20–22
From these verses we get the apostle’s conception of true Gospel preaching. He believed that repentance toward God should have a prominent place in the preacher’s message. We do not hear many sermons …
It would appear that almost from the beginning of history man has perpetuated the memory of his heroes and his epoch-making events by piling together stones. We can trace the custom in the Bible as far back as Genesis twenty-eight. You will remember that we find recorded there the story of Jacob’s wonderful vision of God in which God promised divine protection and provision. Jacob took the stones of that place and made a pillar, and anointing it with oil he called the name of it Bethel—the house of God. That was indeed …
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 …
