These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. Hebrews 11:13
D.L. MOODYWe ought in these days to have far more faith than Abel or Enoch or Abraham had. They lived before the cross. We talk about the faith of Elijah and the patriarchs and prophets, but they lived in the dim light of the past, while we are in the full blaze of Calvary and the resurrection. When we look back and think of what …

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9–10
D.L. MOODYNotice that the covetous are named between thieves and drunkards. We lock up thieves and have no mercy on them. We loathe drunkards, and consider them great sinners against the law of God as well as the law of the land. Yet there is far more …

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 …

Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you. Matthew 5:11
D.L. MOODYListen to Paul in the jail at Philippi. “If God wants me to go to heaven by way of this prison,” he says, “it is all the same to me; rejoice and be exceeding glad, Silas. I thank God that I am accounted worthy to suffer for Jesus’ sake.” And as they sang their praises to God, the other prisoners heard them; but, what was far more important, the Lord heard them, and the old prison shook. Talk about Alexander the Great making the world tremble …

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work.Mark 13:34, KJV
D.L. MOODYIf you notice that verse carefully, it does not read “to every man some work,” or “to every man a work,” but “to every man his work.” And I believe that every man and woman living has a work laid out for them to do; that every man’s life is a plan of the Almighty, and that way back in the councils of eternity, God laid …

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 …

And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” 1 Samuel 15:22
D.L. MOODYDid you ever notice all but the heart of man obeys God? If you look through history, you will find that this is true. In the beginning God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. “Let the waters bring forth,” and the water brought forth abundantly. And one of the proofs that Jesus Christ is God …

For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 2 Corinthians 4:15–16
D.L. MOODYA man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at once to sustain life for a week to come. We must …

That though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
D.L. MOODYThis poor world is groaning and sighing for sympathy—human sympathy. I am quite sure it was that in Christ’s life which touched the hearts of the common people. He made Himself one with them. He who was rich for our sakes became poor. He was born in the manger so that He might put Himself on a level with the lowest of the low.
ERWIN LUTZERJesus became poor and became the victim of …

For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18
D.L. MOODYThe heir to some great estate, while a child, thinks more of a dollar in his pocket than all his coming inheritance. Just so, even some professing Christians are more elated by a passing pleasure than they are by their title to eternal glory.
ERWIN LUTZERA mark of maturity, we are told, is delayed gratification. Some people live for the pleasures of this fleeting world without much thought about their eternal existence. And when suffering comes, they find …
