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.

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 …

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 …

But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12
D.L. MOODYBy receiving Him, you get power, and not otherwise. Many persons have tried to be Christians and have failed. A man may as well try to jump over the ocean to Europe as to try to serve God before he is born of God. He has not the power. But when he receives Christ, Christ is the power of God unto salvation. We take Him: and He is our salvation.

Our citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20
D.L. MOODYSomeone asked a Scotchman if he was on the way to heaven, and he said: “Why man, I live there; I am not on the way.” That is just it. We want to live in heaven; while we are walking in this world, it is our privilege to have our hearts and affections there.
ERWIN LUTZERWhile Paul was sitting in jail penning the book of Philippians, Nero, who’d had his own mother murdered, was ruling Rome. He was also the one who, when Rome burned, blamed it on the Christians. …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Go in this might of yours and save Israel…do I not send you? Judges 6:14
D.L. MOODYGod knows, and you know, what He has sent you to do. God sent Moses to Egypt to bring bondmen up out of the house of bondage into the Promised Land. Did he fail? It looked, at first, as if he were going to fail. But he fulfilled his calling. God sent Elijah to stand before Ahab, and it was a bold thing for him to say there should be neither dew nor rain: but did God not lock up the heavens for …
