Little Disciples
And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. Mark 10:13 D.L. MOODYI have no sympathy with the idea that our children have to grow up before they are converted. Once I saw a lady with three daughters at her side, and I stepped up to her and asked her if she was a Christian. “Yes, sir.” Then I asked the oldest daughter if she was a Christian. Her chin began to quiver and tears came into her eyes and she said: “I wish I was.” The mother looked very angrily … Read More >

Spiritual Surgery
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:46 D.L. MOODYAfter all, we do not gain much by discussion. Let objectors or inquirers only get one personal interview with the Son of God, and that will scatter all their darkness, all their prejudice, and all their unbelief. The moment that Philip succeeded in getting Nathanael to Christ, the work was done. ERWIN LUTZERMy brothers and sisters, when the Holy Spirit of God does His work to show us our sin and our need of Christ, it is … Read More >

The Fruit of Joy
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. John 15:11 D.L. MOODYPeople should look for joy in the Word, and not in the world. They should look for the joy, which the Scriptures furnish, and then go to work in the vineyard, because a joy that doesn’t send me out to someone else, a joy that doesn’t impel me to go and help the poor drunkard, a joy that doesn’t prompt me to visit the widow and the fatherless, a joy that doesn’t cause me to … Read More >

President of My Heart
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8 D.L. MOODYYou might just as well tell me there is no such thing as wind, as tell me there is no such thing as a man being born of the Spirit. I have felt the Spirit of God working in my heart just as really and as truly as I have felt the wind blowing in my face. I cannot reason it … Read More >

God Alone
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 D.L. MOODYHere we see that Christ was raised up from the grave by the Spirit, and the power exercised to raise Christ’s dead body must raise our dead souls and quicken them. No other power on Earth can quicken a dead soul but the same power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph’s sepulchre. And if we want that power to … Read More >

The Works of Christ Done by Us Today
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12 D.L. MOODYI used to stumble over that verse, but the longer I live, the more I am convinced it is a greater thing to influence a man whose will is set against God, to have that will broken and brought into subjection to God’s will—or, in other words, it is a greater thing to have power over a living, sinning, God-hating man, than to … Read More >

Brought Into Light
Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3 D.L. MOODYYou can look abroad and see many beautiful trees, but the tree of life you shall never behold unless your eyes are made clear by faith in the Saviour. You may see the beautiful rivers of the Earth, you may ride upon their bosoms, but bear in mind, your eye will never rest upon the river which bursts out from the throne of God and flows through the upper kingdom unless you are born again. … Read More >

Supernatural Witness
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 D.L. MOODYIf these early Christians had gone out and commenced preaching then and there without the promised power, do you think that scene would have taken place on the day of Pentecost? Peter would have stood up and beat against the air, while the Jews would have gnashed their teeth and mocked him. But they tarried in Jerusalem; they waited ten days. “What!” … Read More >

Are We There Yet?
But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9–10 D.L. MOODYIt is said by travelers that in climbing the Alps, the houses of far distant villages can be seen with great distinctness, so that sometimes the number of panes of glass in a church window can be counted. The distance looks so short that the place to which … Read More >

Working Together For You
For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 1 John 5:7–8 D.L. MOODYI find clearly presented in my Bible, that the one God who demands my love, service, and worship, has there revealed Himself, and that each of those three names of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost has personality attached to them. It has been remarked that the Father plans, the Son executes, and the Holy Spirit applies. But I also believe they plan and work together. ERWIN LUTZERMoody’s comments are drawn from the larger teaching of Scripture. … Read More >
