“As fellow-workers, however, we further appeal to you not to accept the grace of God without using it.” —2 Corinthians 6:1, 1945 Berkeley translation
Here is a call for more cautious and careful treatment of divine bestowments. In the development of his appeal, Paul envisaged a three-fold danger; namely, the disuse, misuse, and abuse of God’s grace.
The Disuse Of The Grace Of God
“We further appeal to you not to accept the grace of God without using it” (2 Corinthians 6:1, Berkeley 1945). Disuse of the grace which God so wonderfully and so liberally supplies is, wittingly or unwittingly, …

Sermon delivered by Rev. R.H. Glover, M.D. at The Moody Church, August 1, 1926.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.” —2 Corinthians 2:14
We are indebted for this beautiful text, as we are for many another in God’s Word, to the circumstances of severe trial out of which it came. These circumstances were, briefly stated, as follows: From Ephesus, Paul had written and sent his first epistle to the Corinthians and later had dispatched Titus in order to learn the …

“Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.” —2 Corinthians 6:3
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” —1 John 2:15
Not a few Christians have been‚ and some are—greatly perplexed as to what should be the attitude of a Christian toward the world and its amusements. There are some Scriptures that tell us very definitely that the Christian is not of the world, that he has been chosen out of the world, that he is separated …

(An address to Bible students, July 3, 1914, not corrected by the author).
What is the best thing I could say to you supposing it were the only time I had in my life of addressing you? I think that probably I can help you that way best, although I am not quite sure you are all in that condition of mind to receive it, because naturally you are exercising the intellectual side of your nature, and it is rather difficult therefore to turn from the use of the intellect to the use of that subconscious—that subliminal self that the …

“And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.” —Leviticus 16:21–22
There are two great facts standing over against each other right from the very beginning of …

The basis for our message is in 2 Corinthians 5, some very familiar words, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (v. 21).
Our thoughts are to center around the Cross of Calvary, the greatest theme a preacher can ever have. The message of the Cross will never be exhausted, for the half has not yet been told. We will never be able to fully understand its meaning until one day we meet together around the throne of God in heaven.

Some months ago a scientist friend, employed by a company attempting to harness the power of the atom for peaceful purposes, was moved out of the laboratory to a position of executive responsibility. His job now is to help take care of his temperamental scientist colleagues who are unable to get along together. These men engaged in the job of harnessing limitless power seem to be powerless inside themselves. They are petty, temperamental, quarrelsome, jealous and selfish. So my friend’s assignment is to help these men get along together.
As we discussed this situation, we commented on the irony of …

Five times in the New Testament our Lord Jesus Christ is called the only begotten and five times He is called the first-born or the first-begotten. Five times our Lord is called the only begotten—that is what He is in His essential deity. Five times He is called first begotten—that is what He became as a man. All I shall attempt to do is to turn you from one Scripture to another, linking these together with a few comments to bring out the true deity and the true humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The five instances in which the …

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” —Isaiah 53:6
Notice how we went astray: “We have turned every one to his own way.” That is sin. Your way is not God’s way. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Those are God’s words. Your way is sin, and that is the reason He tells you that you went astray; “All we like sheep have …

More is at stake in 2020 than public policy and political leadership. Recently, Decision spoke with Erwin Lutzer, author and pastor emeritus of The Moody Church, about what’s at stake for the church in a culture that seems ever more secular and opposed to biblical truth.
Q: What issues does the church need to address this coming year?
A: I believe that as the church enters 2020, many of the issues we’ve already seen are going to have to be confronted, and there is really no place to hide. Courage will be essential—the willingness to stand for truth against incredible …
