The promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance. Ephesians 1:13–14
D.L. MOODYA poor woman once told Rowland Hill that the way to heaven was short, easy, and simple; comprising only three steps—out of self, into Christ, and into glory. We have a shorter way now—out of self and into Christ. That way is the kingdom of heaven begun below—a little of what awaits us in glory.
ERWIN LUTZERD.L. Moody’s preaching was characterized by simplicity, directness, and deep conviction. He used visual imagery, challenging both the unsaved and the Christians of his day. As far as …

And every work that he undertook…he did with all his heart. 2 Chronicles 31:21
D.L. MOODYIn all ages, God has used those people who were in earnest. Satan always calls idle men into his service. God calls active and earnest—not indolent men. You remember where Elijah found Elisha ploughing in the field? Gideon was at the threshing floor. Moses was away in Horeb looking after the sheep. None of these were indolent men; what they did, they did with all their might. We want such men and women nowadays. If we cannot do God’s work with all the knowledge …

I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:5
D.L. MOODYWe are good at confessing other people’s sins, but if it is true repentance, we shall have as much as we can do to look after our own. When a man or woman gets a good look into God’s looking glass, they are not finding fault with other people: such are fully occupied with their own sins.

My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 1 Corinthians 2:4
D.L. MOODYWhat the church of God needs today is the old power that the apostles had: if we have that in our churches, there will be new life. Then we will have new ministers—the same old ministers renewed with power, filled with the Spirit.I remember when, in Chicago, many were toiling in the work and it seemed as though the car of salvation didn’t move on, a minister began to cry out from the …

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 …

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24
D.L. MOODYI remember hearing of a man in one of the hospitals who received a bouquet of flowers on behalf of the Flower Mission. He looked at the beautiful bouquet and said: “Well, if I had known that a bunch of flowers could do a fellow so much good, I would have sent some myself when I was well.” If people only knew how they might cheer some lonely heart and lift up some drooping spirit, or speak some word that shall …

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.John 5:24
D.L. MOODYI would a thousand times rather stand on that verse than all the frames and feelings I ever had. I took my stand there twenty years ago. Since then, the dark waves of hell have come dashing up against me; the waves of persecution have broken all around me; doubts, fears, and unbelief, in turn, have assailed me; but I have been able to …

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
D.L. MOODYThe first impulse of a young convert is to love. Do you remember the day you were converted? Was not your heart full of sweet peace and love?I remember the morning I came out of my room after I had first trusted Christ. I thought the old sun shone a good deal brighter than it ever had before. I thought that the sun was just smiling upon me. I walked out upon …

The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. Revelation 21:7
D.L. MOODYI used to have my Sabbath-school children sing, “I want to be an angel;” but I have not done so for years. We shall be above angels: we shall be sons of God. Just see what a kingdom we shall come into. We shall inherit all things! Do you ask me how much I am worth? I don’t know. The Rothschilds cannot compute their wealth. They don’t know how many millions they own. That is my …

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, 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. MOODYMen talk about grace but, as a rule, they know very little about it. Let a businessman go to a banker’s to borrow a few hundred dollars for 60 or 90 days. The banks give what they call “three days’ grace” after the 60 or 90 days, but they will make the borrower pay interest on the money during these three days, and if …
