My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 1 Corinthians 2:4
D.L. MOODYWhat the church of God needs today is the old power that the apostles had: if we have that in our churches, there will be new life. Then we will have new ministers—the same old ministers renewed with power, filled with the Spirit.I remember when, in Chicago, many were toiling in the work and it seemed as though the car of salvation didn’t move on, a minister began to cry out from the …

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
D.L. MOODYThere are many things which were dark and mysterious to me five years ago, on which I have since had a flood of light; and I expect to be finding out something fresh about God throughout eternity.I make a point of not discussing disputed passages of Scripture. An old divine has said that some people, if they want to eat fish, commence …

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Hebrews 13:14
D.L. MOODYSurely it is not wrong for us to think and talk about heaven. I like to locate it and find out all I can about it. I expect to live there through all eternity. If I were going to dwell in any place in this country, if I were going to make it my home, I would inquire about its climate, about the neighbors I would have, about everything, in fact, that I could learn concerning it. If soon you …

When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:“Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” 1 Corinthians 15:54–55
D.L. MOODYI turn my back on death and journey toward life from this time on, and away into the eternity beyond the grave I see LIFE.
ERWIN LUTZERSomewhere I read that death is just as near to the young as to the old; the difference is that for the young, death stands behind them; …

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. John 8:51
D.L. MOODYSomeday you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; gone out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal, a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint, a body like unto His own glorious body. I was born of the flesh …

The final report of the sexual misconduct of the late Ravi Zacharias was released last week. Many of us knew the findings would be devastating due to a preliminary report issued several months ago, and even before that report, credible accounts started to surface about his personal lifestyle, rife with sexual dalliances. Reading the report makes us shake our heads in disbelief. How could someone who came across as brilliant, gifted, and credible lead a secret life of such utter slavery to sexual sin?
What do we say?
I’ve heard remarks like, “He is suffering in hell” or, “We are …

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. MOODYWhen a young man, I was called upon suddenly, in Chicago, to preach a funeral sermon. A good many Chicago businessmen were to be there, and I said to myself,“Now, it will be a good chance for me to preach the gospel to those men, and I will get one of Christ’s funeral sermons.”I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ’s funeral sermons, but I couldn’t find …

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1–2
D.L. MOODYA man may have wonderful knowledge, may be able to unravel the mysteries of the Bible, and yet be as cold as an icicle. He may glisten like the snow in the sun. Sometimes you have wondered why it was …

But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” Genesis 3:9
D.L. MOODYA man once said to me “How do you know that God put that question to Adam?”The best answer I can give is: Because He has put it to me many a time. I doubt whether there ever has been a son or a daughter of Adam who has not heard that voice ringing through the soul many a time. Who am I? What am I? Where am I going? So, let us put the question to ourselves, personally, Where …

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24
D.L. MOODYSalvation is instantaneous. I admit that a man may be converted so that he cannot tell when he crossed the line between death and life, but I also believe a man may be a thief one moment and a saint the next. I believe a man may be as vile as hell itself one moment and be saved the next.Christian growth is gradual, …
