And the Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the saying of the Lord, how he had said to him, “Before the rooster crows today, you will deny me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. Luke 22:61–62
D.L. MOODYThe Master might have turned and said to Peter, “Is it true, Peter, that you have forgotten me so soon? Do you not remember when your wife’s mother lay sick of a fever that I rebuked the disease and it left her? Do you not call to mind your astonishment at the draught of fishes so …

So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 1 Corinthians 15:42–44
D.L. MOODYAs I go into a cemetery, I like to think of the time when the dead shall rise from their graves. We read part of this chapter in what we call the …

Arise, shine, for your light has come…And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Isaiah 60:1, 3
D.L. MOODYLove must be active, just as light must shine. As someone has said: “A man may hoard up his money; he may bury his talents in a napkin; but there is one thing he cannot hoard up, and that is love.” You cannot bury it. It must flow out. It cannot feed upon itself; it must have an object.
ERWIN LUTZERIsaiah was talking about God showering Israel with His glory and love, and …

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. 1 Corinthians 13:12
D.L. MOODYFor now, we see God, as it were, in a mirror, but then, face to face. Suppose we knew nothing of the sun except what we saw of its light reflected from the moon? Would we not wonder about its immense distance, about its dazzling splendor, about its life-giving power? But all that we see, the sun, the moon, the stars, the ocean, the Earth, the flowers, and above all, man, are a grand mirror in which the perfection of God is …

Nor idolaters…will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9–10
D.L. MOODYIt is clear that idolaters are not going to enter the kingdom of God. I may make an idol of my business; I may make an idol of the wife of my bosom; I may make idols of my children. I do not think you need go to heathen countries to find men guilty of idolatry. Anything that comes between me and God is an idol—anything—I don’t care what it is; business is all right in its place, and there is no danger of my loving my family …

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 …

For the love of Christ controls us. 2 Corinthians 5:14
D.L. MOODYI am getting sick and tired of hearing the word duty, duty, duty. You hear so many talk about it being their duty to do this and do that. My experience is that such Christians have very little success. Is there not a much higher platform than that of mere duty? Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him? When that is the constraining power it is so easy to work. It is not hard for a mother to watch over a sick …

God chose what is low and despised in the world. 1 Corinthians 1:28
D.L. MOODYNotice that all the men whom Christ called around Him were weak men in a worldly sense. They were all men without rank, without title, without position, without wealth or culture. Nearly all of them were fishermen and unlettered men, yet Christ chose them to build up His kingdom. When God wanted to bring the children of Israel out of bondage, He did not send an army, He sent one solitary man. So in all ages, God has used the weak things of the world …

And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads. Isaiah 35:10
D.L. MOODYI think there is a difference between happiness and joy. Happy-ness is caused by things which happen around me, and circumstances will mar it, but joy flows right on through trouble; joy flows on through the dark; joy flows in the night as well as in the day; joy flows all through persecution and opposition; it is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart; a secret spring which the world can’t see and doesn’t …

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:20–21
D.L. MOODYVery few people are satisfied with earthly riches. Often the richer the man, the greater the poverty. Somebody has said that getting riches brings care; keeping them brings trouble; abusing them brings guilt; and losing them brings sorrow. It is a great mistake to make so much of riches as we do. But there are some riches we cannot praise too much: riches that never pass away. They are the treasures laid up in heaven for those who truly …
