All I Can Give
My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways. Proverbs 23:26 D.L. MOODYI remember hearing a story about a Native American Indian who wanted to come to the Lord. He brought his blanket, but the Lord wouldn’t have it. He brought his gun, his dog, his bow and arrow, but the Lord wouldn’t have them. At last he brought himself, and the Lord took him. The Lord wanted himself. What the Lord wants is not what you have got, but yourself, and you cannot do a thing to please God until you surrender yourself to … Read More >

An Honest Evaluation
There is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:22–23 D.L. MOODYThat is one of the hardest truths man has to learn. We are apt to think that we are just a little better than our neighbors, and if we find they are a little better than ourselves, we go to work and try to pull them down to our level. If you want to find out who and what man is, go to the third chapter of Romans, and there the whole story is told “There is none righteous, no, … Read More >

Who Can We Call a Saint?
If you are a member of the Catholic Church you are welcome among us. About 20% of all of our members were raised in the Catholic Church. However, the canonization of two popes this past week does give me an opportunity to point out one of several major differences between us and Roman Catholicism. The Bible clearly and repeatedly teaches that all believers in Christ are “saints” (1 Corinthians 1:2; Ephesians 1:1; Philippians 1:1 etc). But in the early centuries when the idea arose that salvation was not a free gift given to those who believe the Gospel, but rather … Read More >

Does God Help Those Who Help Themselves?
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Romans 4:5 D.L. MOODYI freely admit salvation is worth working for. It is worth a man’s going round the world on his hands and knees, climbing its mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it in that way. It is to him that believeth. ERWIN LUTZERTrying to make ourselves worthy of grace and earn salvation is the default position … Read More >

Two Paths, Two Eternal Destinations
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13–14 D.L. MOODYMany a man would be willing to enter into the kingdom of God if he could do it without giving up sin. A man may become a disciple of Muhammad and continue to live in the foulest, blackest, deepest sin; but a man cannot be a disciple of … Read More >
