Show him my salvation. Psalm 91:16 D.L. MOODYI believe we don’t learn the fringe of the subject of salvation down here. When our Master was on Earth, He said He had many more things to say, but He could not reveal them to His disciples because they were not ready to receive them. But when we go yonder, when these mortal bodies have put on immorality, when our spiritual faculties are loosed from the servitude of the flesh, I believe we shall be able to take more in. God will lead us from glory to glory, and show us … Read More >

Headed For Glory
And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. Mark 9:9 D.L. MOODYIt is a singular fact that John, the only Gospel writer who was with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration, does not give an account of it. Perhaps the scene was so solemn, so impressive, and so holy that he could not bring himself to write of it. Peter, who was also present, barely mentioned it in his writings that have come down to us. His only … Read More >

Hopeful, Not Hopeless
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:19 D.L. MOODYTo deny the resurrection is to say that we will never see more of the loved ones whose bodies have been committed to the clay. If Christ has not risen, this life is the only one.How cruel it is to have anyone love you if this be true! How horrible that they should let the tendrils of your heart twine around them if, when they are torn away in death, that is to be the … Read More >

In Heaven For You
And I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:29–30 D.L. MOODYThink of the Lord stooping down and taking a poor drunkard right up and out of the gutter and putting his feet on the rock, and a new song in his mouth, and lifting him up above powers and principalities, above angels and archangels, seraphim and cherubim, up, up, up, onto the throne with Himself! Do you suppose that an angel … Read More >

Make a Difference This Christmas
Christmas is not the same for everyone. For some, Christmas is a lonely time of year because they have no friends and few resources. For others, including those whose relatives and friends were killed in the most recent terrorist attack, it will be a time of sorrow and loss. For still others, it will just be an excuse to give and receive gifts and party with friends. As for us, let’s remember the meaning of Christmas and celebrate accordingly—and as we do so, let’s make a difference in the lives of others. We can include the needy in our Christmas … Read More >

The Sound of Hymns
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!" Luke 2:13–14 D.L. MOODYI have read that on the shores of the Adriatic Sea, the wives of fishermen whose husbands have gone far out upon the deep are in the habit of going down to the seashore at night and singing the first verse of some beautiful hymn. After they have sung it, they listen until they hear, brought on the wind across the sea, … Read More >

Heavenly Possessions
The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 21:7 D.L. MOODYAfter the Chicago fire, I met a man who said, “Moody, I hear you lost everything in the Chicago fire.” “Well,” I said, “you understood it wrong; I didn’t.” He said, “How much do you have left?” “I can’t tell you; I have got a good deal more left than I lost.” “You can’t tell how much you have?” “No.” “I didn’t know that you were ever that rich. What do you mean?” “I mean just … Read More >

Gospel Comfort At Death
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” John 11:25 D.L. MOODYAt the Battle of Inkerman during the Crimean War, a soldier was just able to crawl to his tent after he was struck down. When found, he was lying upon his face, his open Bible before him, his hand glued fast to the page by his life-blood which covered it. When his hand was lifted, the letters of the printed page were clearly traced upon it, and with the everliving promise in and on … 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 >
