MOODYThe Master might have turned and said to Peter, “Is it true, Peter, that you have forgotten me so soon?

Disciplined Toward Repentance
If the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

A God-Centered Conscience
Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things. Hebrews 13:18 D.L. MOODYIs not conscience a safe guide? No, it is not. Some people don’t seem to have any conscience and don’t know what it means. Their education has a good deal to do with conscience. There are persons who will say that their conscience did not tell them they had done wrong until after the wrong was done. What we want is something to tell us a thing is wrong before we do it.

Reconciliation: Worth Every Penny
And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor. And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.” Luke 19:8 D.L. MOODYA short speech, but how the words have come ringing down through the ages! By making that remark, Zacchaeus confessed his sin—that he had been dishonest. Besides that, he showed that he knew the requirements of the law of Moses. If a man had taken what did not belong to him, he was not only to return it, but to multiply it by four. … Read More >

Be Rid of The Pain
Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Matthew 18:21–22 D.L. MOODYPeter did not seem to think that he was in danger of falling into sin; his question was, “How often should I forgive my brother?” But very soon we hear that Peter has fallen. I can imagine that when he did fall, the sweet thought came to him of what the Master had said.The … Read More >

Dear Brothers and Sisters, We Must Move On!
After bitter disputes as to whether the election was stolen, after a mob of thugs desecrated our nation’s Capitol, after listening to charges and countercharges… We must move on. No matter who you voted for, no matter what news outlets you watch, no matter how angry or glad you are that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be our next president and vice-president… We must move on. You have heard it said that, as believers, our unity in Christ as Savior and Lord must always transcend politics and race. Well, the time to test whether we actually believe this is … Read More >
