Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5
D.L. MOODYA man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility. You soon detect mock humility. They have a saying among the Arabs that as the tares and the wheat grow they show which God has blessed. The ears that God has blessed bow their heads and acknowledge every grain, and the more fruitful they are, the lower their …

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 …

There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Luke 15:10
D.L. MOODY“Joy in the presence of angels?” Perhaps the friends who have left the shores of time may be looking down upon us; and when they see someone they prayed for while on Earth turning to God, it sends a thrill of joy to their very hearts. Even now, some mother who has gone up yonder may be looking down upon a son or daughter, and if that child should say: “I will meet that mother of mine; I will decide for God,” the …

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, …

4 Steps for Bringing Healing to a Divided Nation
When Donald J. Trump took the stage late in the night to celebrate his presidential win, one phrase particularly resonated with me, he acknowledged, “It is time to heal.”
Yes, it is time to heal, and the churches of America should lead the way. The election is over, but divisions remain in our churches and in our families. Which leads us to a pressing question: How can we as evangelicals be unified and have a credible witness to the Gospel before the watching world? I would like to share four key …

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. 1 Peter 3:18
D.L. MOODYHere we see that Christ was raised up from the grave by the Spirit, and the power exercised to raise Christ’s dead body must raise our dead souls and quicken them. No other power on Earth can quicken a dead soul but the same power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph’s sepulchre. And if we want that power to …

Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable. 1 Peter 1:23
D.L. MOODYGod has not only adopted us, but we are His by birth: we have been born into His kingdom. My boy was as much mine when he was a day old as now that he is fourteen. He was my son; although it did not appear what he would be when he attained manhood. He is mine; although he may have to undergo testing under tutors and governors. The children of God are not perfect; but we are perfectly His children.

All…All…All. Mathew 28:18–20
D.L. MOODYAll power is given unto me…go…teach all nations. Teach them what? To observe all things. There are a great many people now that are willing to observe what they like about Christ, but the things they don’t like, they turn away from. But His commission to His disciples was, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (see Matthew 28:19–20). And what right has a messenger who has been sent of God to change the message?

Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God. 1 Peter 1:23
D.L. MOODYWe hear nowadays so much about “culture.” Culture’s all right when you have something to cultivate. If I should plant a watch, I shouldn’t get any little watches, would I? Why? Because the seed of life is not there. But let me plant some peas or potatoes and I will get a crop.Don’t let any man or woman rest short of being born of the Spirit of God. Don’t cultivate a dead and …

What is God saying to us?
The scenes are—well, they are frequently described as apocalyptic. That word rings with a prophetic tone; it means “pertaining to the end times.” A more familiar word might be catastrophic. Cameras from helicopters and drones, people with their smart phones and news teams on the ground, reveal miles upon miles of burned homes and businesses, and people fleeing for their lives with just the clothes on their backs. More than 60 square miles of some of the most expensive homes in the Los Angeles area, burned to the ground. As of this …
