In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? John 14:2
D.L. MOODYWhat has been, and is now, one of the strongest feelings in the human heart? Is it not to find some better place, some lovelier spot, than we now have? It is for a place of rest that men everywhere are seeking, and they can have it if they will; but instead of looking down, they must look up to find it. As men grow in knowledge, they vie with …

God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. Acts 2:24
D.L. MOODYI can imagine when they laid our Lord in Joseph’s tomb, one might have seen Death sitting over that sepulchre, saying, “I have Him; He is my victim. He said He was the Resurrection and the Life. Now I hold Him in my cold embrace. They thought He was never going to die; but see Him now. He has had to pay tribute to me.”Never! The glorious morning comes, the Son of Man bursts …

“Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?” And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:36–38
D.L. MOODYOne thing I have noticed is that some conversions don’t amount …

For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. Acts 2:39
D.L. MOODYIt is not only our privilege to have our names written in heaven, but also those of the children whom God has given us; and our hearts ought to go right out for them. Many a father’s and many a mother’s heart is burdened with anxiety for the salvation of their children. If your own name is there, let your next aim in life be to get your children’s there …

Eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3
D.L. MOODYOne of the saddest things in the present day is the division in God’s church. You notice that when the power of God came upon the early church, it was when they were “all of one accord” (see Acts 2). I believe the blessing of Pentecost never would have been given but for that spirit of unity. If they had been divided and quarrelling among themselves, do you think the Holy Ghost would have come and those thousands been converted?I have noticed …

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 you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8
D.L. MOODYI have little sympathy with the idea that Christian men and women have to live for years before they can have the privilege of leading anyone out of the darkness of this world into the kingdom of God. I do not believe, either, that all God’s work is going to be done by ministers and other officers in the churches. This lost …

Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
D.L. MOODYWhat makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, but never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold? Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out.
ERWIN LUTZERGod has ordained that, in one way or another, we should serve others. If any one of us is not doing his or her part, the work of God suffers. God has given us gifts, the purpose of …

About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Acts 16:25
D.L. MOODYAn old gentleman got up once in a meeting and said he had lived nearly all his life on Grumble Street, but not long ago, he had moved over on Thanksgiving Street. His face showed it. Paul and Silas in jail at Philippi, when they had received stripes on the back and had their feet in the stocks, still sang praises to God. If some of us were in jail with our feet in the stocks, I …

Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6
D.L. MOODYWould to God we might all be able to say with Paul—“I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel” (Acts 20:33). The Lord had made him partaker of His grace, and he was soon to be a partaker of His glory, and earthly things looked very small. “Godliness with contentment is great gain,” he wrote to Timothy; “having food and raiment let us be therewith content” (1 Timothy 6:6, 8). Observe that he puts godliness first. No worldly gain can satisfy the human heart. Roll the whole …
