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 …

You also must help us by prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many. 2 Corinthians 1:11
D.L. MOODYYou have heard the story of the child who was rescued from the fire that was raging in a house away up in the fourth story. The child came to the window and, as the flames were shooting up higher and higher, cried out for help. A fireman started up the ladder. The wind swept the flames near him, and it was getting so hot that he wavered. Thousands …

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Romans 8:15
D.L. MOODYI want to say very emphatically that I have no sympathy with the doctrine of universal brotherhood and universal fatherhood; I don’t believe one word of it. If a man lives in the flesh and serves the flesh, he is a child of the devil. That is pretty strong language, but it is what Christ said. It brought down a hornet’s nest on His head, and …

You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. 2 Corinthians 3:2
D.L. MOODYI remember reading of a blind man who was found sitting at the corner of a street in a great city with a lantern beside him. Someone went up to him and asked what he had the lantern there for, seeing that he was blind and the light was the same to him as the darkness. The blind man replied: “I have it so that no one may stumble over me.”Where one man reads the Bible, …

And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. Daniel 12:3
D.L. MOODYHow empty and short-lived are the glory and the pride of this world! If we are wise, we will live for God and eternity; we will get outside of ourselves and will care nothing for the honor and glory of this world. In Proverbs 11:30 we read: “He that winneth souls is wise.” If any man, woman, or child, by a godly life and example, can win one soul …

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12:9
D.L. MOODYWhen we are weak, then we are strong. People often think they have not strength enough; the fact is, we have too much strength. It is when we feel that we have no strength of our own that we are willing that God should use us and work through us. If we are leaning on …

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. John 3:14–15
D.L. MOODYI heard of a woman who thought there was no promise in the Bible for her; she thought the promises were for others, not for her. There are many of these people in the world. They think it is too good to be true that they can be saved for nothing. This woman one day got a letter, and when she opened it, she found it was not …

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 …

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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. MOODYMen talk about grace but, as a rule, they know very little about it. Let a businessman go to a banker’s to borrow a few hundred dollars for 60 or 90 days. The banks give what they call “three days’ grace” after the 60 or 90 days, but they will make the borrower pay interest on the money during these three days, and if …

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17
D.L. MOODY“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6), and a man can soon tell whether he is born of the Spirit by the change in his life. The Spirit of Christ is a Spirit of love, joy, peace, humility, and meekness, and we can soon find out whether we have been born of that Spirit or not; we are not to …
