The Possibilities Of Faith
(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 … Read More >

A Challenge For Skeptics
We are living in an age of skepticism. Many people do not believe the promises of politicians, because they have often placed confidence in those who have betrayed us. It’s easy to come to disbelieve in people. Television has made us skeptical. We have come to distrust the ads that promise so much and yet often deliver so little. We should not be surprised to discover that the same kind of skepticism can spill over into our religious faith. False cults are arising quickly and all claim to have the truth. There is a danger that we will simply give … Read More >

Comments on 1 Thessalonians 5
“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” I don’t know what you are drunk with, but I know many people are drunk with a great many things today—some staggering ideals, some colossal foolishness, or something else. There is more in this word “sober” than simply abstaining from some intoxicating liquor. It is a wonderful thing to have a sober mind and not let yourself be carried away by the drunken spirit of our day, but to stand with Jesus Christ, while the tide is going the other way. Ask God for a … Read More >

Wanted: A Venture of Faith
In the February issue of Moody Monthly there appeared an article entitled “The State of the Church,” written by A.W. Tozer, Billy Graham, J.O. Percy, David Otis Fuller and one or two others. The comments of these men in regard to this subject were very significant, especially Dr. Graham’s, where he asks, “Can the church recapture the faith, courage, enthusiasm, joy, love, unity, discipline, and cross-bearing that so characterized the early followers of Christ? Many doubt it—many think we have gone too far and that our minds are becoming darkened, our conscience hardened and our will paralyzed.” In Mark 9:14-29 … Read More >

Brief Biographical Sketch Of The Life And Ministry Of Henry Allan Ironside
Written in honor of Dr. Ironside’s tenth anniversary as Pastor of The Moody Church. We fully appreciate the problems which confront us when we attempt to write at least a portion of the life story of one who is still living and actively engaged in the ministry to which God has called him. On the other hand, because there is so much of real value in the life and ministry of this devoted servant of Christ that will be a source of real inspiration to multitudes, it is without apology that we pen these lines. When approached and urged to … Read More >

The Secret Of Superhuman Strength
Some months ago a scientist friend, employed by a company attempting to harness the power of the atom for peaceful purposes, was moved out of the laboratory to a position of executive responsibility. His job now is to help take care of his temperamental scientist colleagues who are unable to get along together. These men engaged in the job of harnessing limitless power seem to be powerless inside themselves. They are petty, temperamental, quarrelsome, jealous and selfish. So my friend’s assignment is to help these men get along together. As we discussed this situation, we commented on the irony of … Read More >

God's Galaxy Of Heroes
You may ask, “How many times have you preached from this subject?” I do not know, but one think I do know: the other day, alone in my room asking God to give me something fresh from Him, I got a new vision of the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The sermons I have preached on this chapter I have not repudiated, because what I said gave a message true to the Book, but God has given me some added light, and it is so simple you will wonder why I did not see it before. When I began reading this … Read More >

Divine Priorities
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”—Matthew 6:33 We hear much these days about priorities. A few months ago the word was rarely ever used. To many it was comparatively unknown. The war has brought several new words into common usage which formerly had no particular appeal. It was so in connection with the last war. I recall very well being a witness in a law suit involving a will which was protested by the other side as a forgery. It was supposed to be an instrument conveying … Read More >

Forsaking First Love
“For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved the present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica.”—2 Timothy 4:10 This is about all we know of this man, Demas, but here, in a sense, a spiritual biography is recorded. You do find him mentioned in Philemon and in the epistle to the Colossians. For instance, in that letter to Colosse, Paul says, “Luke the beloved physician salutes thee, so does Demas,” and in that little classic, Paul calls Demas a fellow-laborer, but here, the only other place he is mentioned, we note a spiritual tragedy. “For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved … Read More >

A Lesson On Faith
As we continue our series, “Learning from the Lessons of our Lord,” we come to a lesson on faith from Matthew 15:21–31. This particular incident occurred at a very significant moment in the ministry of our Lord. It had become perfectly clear that as the Messiah of the Jewish people, He was being rejected, His ministry was being refused; and putting together the account of this incident given to us by Matthew and by Mark, we find that He departed, seeking out a house for rest, and went into the coast of Tyre and Sidon. That departure seems to have … Read More >
