Your bars shall be iron and bronze, and as your days, so shall your strength be. Deuteronomy 33:25
D.L. MOODYMany look forth at the Christian life and fear that they will not have sufficient strength to hold out to the end. They forget the promise, “as thy days, thy strength.” It reminds me of the pendulum in the clock which grew disheartened at the thought of having to travel so many thousands of miles; but when it reflected that the distance was to be accomplished by “tick, tick, tick,” it took fresh courage to go its daily journey. So …

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known. Deuteronomy 11:26–28
D.L. MOODYTake the two Sauls: The first Saul got a kingdom and a crown; he had a lovely family, (no father ever had a better son than Saul had in Jonathan); …

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us— for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.”
Galatians 3:13D.L. MOODYLife never came through the law. As someone has observed: “When the law was given, three thousand men lost life; but when grace and truth came at Pentecost, three thousand obtained life.” Under the law, if a man became a drunkard, the magistrates would take him out and stone him to death. When the prodigal came home, grace met him and embraced him. Law said, “Stone him!”—grace said, …

Death appeared to have the last word. But when it looked like He was powerless on the cross, Jesus was still in control, willingly giving himself into the Father’s hands. Pastor Lutzer points to the hand of God in Jesus’ example of death and work of redemption. If we are in God’s hands, we never face death the same way again.

And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 28:2
D.L. MOODYDo you know every man who was blessed while Christ was on Earth, was blessed in the act of obedience? Ten lepers came to Him, and He said, “Go shew [show] yourselves unto the priests” (Luke 17:14). They might have said, “What good is that going to do us? It was the priest that sent us away from our families.” But they said nothing. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were …

For their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves. Deuteronomy 32:31
D.L. MOODYHas the human heart ever been satisfied with false gods? Can pleasure or riches fill the soul that is empty of God? How about the atheist, the deist, the pantheist? What do they look forward to? Nothing! Man’s life is full of trouble; but when the billows of affliction and disappointment are rising and rolling over them, they have no God to call upon. They shall “cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all …

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 29:29
D.L. MOODYThere are many things which were dark and mysterious to me five years ago, on which I have since had a flood of light; and I expect to be finding out something fresh about God throughout eternity.I make a point of not discussing disputed passages of Scripture. An old divine has said that some people, if they want to eat fish, commence …

If all God’s ways are just, what do we make of children who die prematurely? Many wonder how God will rightly judge babies and young children. Pastor Lutzer ponders essential Scriptures on children’s conception, personal accountability, and destiny. As we bring these honest questions to God, we can leave it in His hands.

Are we willing to accept the attributes of God that we aren't so comfortable with—such as His vengeance, wrath, and jealousy?
"You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are around you—for the LORD your God in your midst is a jealous God—lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth."- Deuteronomy 6:14–15
