Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Daniel 4:37
D.L. MOODYWhen you find that a man has got to praising God it is a good sign. Nebuchadnezzar’s earlier edict said much about other people’s duty toward the God of the Hebrews, but nothing about what the king himself should do. Oh, let us get to personal love, personal praise! That is what is wanted in the church in the present day.We …

He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” Daniel 3:25
D.L. MOODYThe fourth man was, doubtless, the Son of God. That Great Shepherd of the sheep saw three of His true servants in peril, and He came from His Father’s presence and His Father’s bosom to be with them in it. He had been watching that terrible attempt to burn the faithful. His tender pitying eye saw they were condemned to death …

In this new series, titled, "God and the Nations" we apply Jeremiah 29 to our current times and discuss what it would look like to seek the welfare of the United States and pray to the Lord on it's behalf. In this episode, we use the prayer from Daniel 9 as a guide to approach God's throne with both desperation and humility in the midst of uncertain times.

If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king.But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up. Daniel 3:17–18
D.L. MOODYShadrach, Meshach, and Abednego spoke respectfully, but firmly. And mark, they did not absolutely say that God would deliver them from the burning, fiery furnace; but they declared that He was able to deliver them. “But if not,”—if in …

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 …

When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house where he had windows in his upper chamber open toward Jerusalem. He got down on his knees three times a day and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as he had done previously. Daniel 6:10
D.L. MOODYThere is many a businessman today who will tell you he has no time to pray: his business is so pressing that he cannot call his family around him and ask God to bless them. He is so busy that he cannot ask God to keep him and …

Many years ago I was visited by a rather prominent evangelical who urged me to endorse a certain political candidate. I gave him two reasons why I would not do so, and those reasons have stood me in good stead to this very day.
First, I did not want anyone to think that the Gospel was tied to a political party. If I were to endorse a candidate, people would identify Christianity with that political label, and this would be a stumbling block to those of the opposing political party. Instead of endorsements, over the years I have preached on …
