Why Serve?
For the love of Christ controls us. 2 Corinthians 5:14 D.L. MOODYI am getting sick and tired of hearing the word duty, duty, duty. You hear so many talk about it being their duty to do this and do that. My experience is that such Christians have very little success. Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty? Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him? When that is the constraining power it is so easy to work. It is not hard for a mother to watch over a sick … Read More >

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.I and the Father are one. John 10:28–30 D.L. MOODYThese are precious verses to those who are afraid of falling, who fear they will not hold out. It is God’s work to hold. It is the Shepherd’s business to keep the sheep. Whoever heard of the sheep going to bring back the shepherd? People … Read More >

God's Providence in the Lutzers' 55-Year Marriage
Today is our 55th wedding anniversary. Rebecca and I look back, marveling at how little we knew about who we were, the challenges we would face, and the future God had mapped out for us. After our wedding in a small church in the Dallas area, we packed everything we had into my 1965 Buick and started the trek to Canada, where I would teach in a Bible school for one more year. Then, under the providence of God, I was accepted at Drew University in New Jersey. On the way, we stopped in Chicago for some summer classes, again … Read More >

Praying From Morning To Night
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 D.L. MOODYIt was in November or December when those men of Judah arrived at Shushan (Nehemiah 1:1–2), and Nehemiah prayed on until March or April before he spoke to the king. If a blessing doesn’t come tonight, pray harder tomorrow, and if it doesn’t come tomorrow, pray harder, and even then, if it doesn’t come, keep right on, and you will not be disappointed. God in heaven will hear your prayers, and will answer them. He has never failed, if a man has been honest in his petitions and honest in his confessions. … Read More >

The Load-Bearing Savior
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 D.L. MOODYSome years ago, a gentleman asked me which I thought was the most precious promise of all those that Christ left. I took some time to look over the promises, but I gave it up. I found that I could not answer the question. Like a man with a large family of children, he cannot tell which he likes best, he loves them all. But if not the best, this is one of the sweetest promises of all:“Come unto … Read More >

If You Believe It, Live It!
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22 D.L. MOODYA man may preach with the eloquence of an angel, but if he doesn’t live what he preaches, and doesn’t act upon his faith in his home and his business, his testimony goes for naught, and the people say it is all hypocrisy; it is all a sham. Words are very empty if there is nothing back of them. Your testimony is poor and worthless if there is not a record back of it consistent with what you profess.What we need is to … Read More >
