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 …

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. 2 Corinthians 12:2
D.L. MOODYSome people have wondered what the third heaven means. That is where God dwells and where the storms do not come. There sits the incorruptible Judge. Paul, when he was caught up there, heard things that it was not lawful for him to utter, and he saw things that he could not speak of down here. The higher up we get in spiritual matters, …

From darkness to light. Acts 26:18
D.L. MOODYI remember one night when the Bible was the driest and darkest book in the universe to me. The next day, it was all light. I had the key to it. I had been born of the Spirit. But before I knew anything of the mind of God in His Word, I had to give up my sin.
ERWIN LUTZERThe miracle of the new birth comes to us from above. It is not self-generated; it is not even a cooperative effort between us and God. It is a direct miracle of …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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. …

It is written. Matthew 4:4, 7, 10
D.L. MOODYChrist overcame Satan by the Word. He simply said: “It is written;” and a second time, and a third time, “It is written;” and that was the arrow that shot right into Satan and drove him away. The devil does not care a bit about our feelings. He can make our feelings good or bad; he can take us up on the mountain or down into the valley, and we can only vanquish him by the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word.
ERWIN LUTZERThe Word does work when …

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
D.L. MOODYTake Christ for your strength, dear soul. He’ll give you power. Power to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil; power to crucify every besetting sin, passion, lust; power to shout in triumph over every trouble and temptation of your life, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
ERWIN LUTZERChrist’s strength is sufficient; we can move forward in the worst of circumstances; Paul lived a life deprived of the comforts he was used to, but he was content. As Christ strengthens …

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 …
