Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Isaiah 55:1
D.L. MOODYI pity those people who are all the time looking to see what they will have to give up. God wants to bestow His marvelous grace on His people, and there is not a soul who has believed on Jesus for whom God has not an abundance of grace in store. What would you say of a man dying of thirst on the banks of a beautiful river …

Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. Matthew 3:8
D.L. MOODYA friend had come to Christ and wished to consecrate himself and his wealth to God. He formerly had transactions with the government and had taken advantage of them. This thing came up when he was converted, and his conscience troubled him. He said, “I want to consecrate my wealth, but it seems as if God will not take it.” He had a terrible struggle; his conscience kept rising up and smiting him. At last, he drew a check for fifteen hundred dollars and sent it to the United States …

Yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. John 5:40
D.L. MOODYThe battle is fought on that one word of the will; the door hangs on that one hinge of the will. Will you obey? That is the question! Will you obey the voice of God and do as He commands you? No man can obey for you any more than he can eat and drink for you. You must eat and drink for yourself, and you must obey God for yourself.
ERWIN LUTZERNo one can obey God in your stead, especially when the …

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 …

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8
D.L. MOODYI know of no truth in the whole Bible that ought to come home to us with such power and tenderness as that of the Love of God. There is no truth in the Bible that Satan would so much like to blot out. For more than six thousand years he has been trying to persuade men that God does not love them. He succeeded in making our first parents believe this lie; and too often he succeeds …

Visitors who want to walk where Jesus walked when visiting Israel discover that there are only a few such places. The city of Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that the streets that Jesus walked on, for the most part, are 15 to 20 feet below the present surface.
But there are exceptions, and perhaps the most accessible is the first century steps that led into the temple during the time of Jesus. Mary and Joseph would have walked on these steps when they brought the baby Jesus to be blessed by Simeon, and here Jesus often …

Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land?" Acts 5:3
D.L. MOODY“Mr. Moody,” you say, “How can I check myself? How can I overcome the habit of lying and gossip?” A lady once said to me that she had got so into the habit of exaggerating, her friends said they could never trust her. The cure is simple, but not very pleasant. Treat it as a sin and confess it to God and the person whom you have wronged. …

He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30
D.L. MOODYIf we preached down ourselves and exalted Christ, the world would soon be reached. The world is perishing today for the want of Christ. The church could do without our theories and pet views, but not without Christ; and when her ministers get behind the cross so that Christ is held up, the people will come flocking to hear the gospel. Selfishness is one of the greatest hindrances to the cause of Christ. Everyone wants the chief seat in the synagogue (Matthew 23:6). One prides himself that he is …

And as they were coming down the mountain, he charged them to tell no one what they had seen, until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. Mark 9:9
D.L. MOODYIt is a singular fact that John, the only Gospel writer who was with Christ on the Mount of Transfiguration, does not give an account of it. Perhaps the scene was so solemn, so impressive, and so holy that he could not bring himself to write of it. Peter, who was also present, barely mentioned it in his writings that have come down to us. His only …

Trust in him at all times, O people. Psalm 62:8
D.L. MOODYThere are a good many who trust God when they see all is light and clear before them, but not in the dark. They will trust when everything is fair and bright—no opposition, no persecution or bitterness, but all smooth sailing. Well, that is walking by sight, and not by faith. We are to trust in the Lord at all times. The Lord will not have one who cannot be tried. If you are starting out in the Lord’s work, you are going to be tempted. St. Augustine …
