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 …

No one will take your joy from you. John 16:22
D.L. MOODYIn the second century, they brought a martyr before a king, and the king asked him to recant and give up Christ, but the man spurned the thought. The king said, “If you don’t do it, I will banish you.” The man smiled and answered: “You can’t banish me from Christ. He says He will never leave me nor forsake me” (Hebrews 13:5). The king got angry and said: “Well, I will confiscate your property and take it all from you.” And the man replied: “My treasures are …

“Do you want to go away as well?” “Lord, to whom shall we go?” John 6:67–68
D.L. MOODYThe sun is thousands of years old, but gasoline is new. Shall we then use only gasoline in place of the sun? Block up all the windows of your houses and have nothing to do with the sun! You might as well do that as give up the Bible. Outgrown it! Why, there is no book to be compared with it. No other book will lift up the world. If you could go into a town where men were trying to love …

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 …

He will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13
D.L. MOODYPeople talk about news nowadays. The Bible is the only newsworthy book in the world. The newspaper tells us what has taken place, but this Book tells us what will take place. And for people to be closing it and saying we can be guided without it, is just as reasonable as to shut out the sun by closing our windows because we have the electric light. There is as much reason to say that the sun in the sky is worn out as there …

God is love. 1 John 4:8
D.L. MOODYIf I could only make men understand the real meaning of the words of the apostle John—“GOD IS LOVE”—I would take that single text, and would go up and down the world proclaiming the glorious truth. If you can convince a man that you love him, you have won his heart. If we could really make people believe that God loves them, how we should find them crowding into the kingdom of heaven! The trouble is that men think God hates them; and so they are continually turning their backs on Him. …

So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told. Acts 27:25
D.L. MOODYFaith is a belief in testimony. It is not a leap in the dark. God does not ask any man to believe without giving him something to believe. You might as well ask a man to see without eyes as to bid him believe without giving him something to believe.
ERWIN LUTZERFaith is not a leap in the dark. There are plenty of reasons to believe in the promises of God, just as Paul did …

By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain… though he died, he still speaks. Hebrews 11:4
D.L. MOODYBut there is one thing you cannot bury with a good man; his influence still lives. They buried Daniel, yet his influence is as great today as ever it was. Do you tell me that Joseph is dead? His influence still lives and will continue to live on and on. You may bury the frail tenement of clay that a good man lives in, but you cannot get rid of his influence and example. Paul was never more …

All…All…All. Mathew 28:18–20
D.L. MOODYAll power is given unto me…go…teach all nations. Teach them what? To observe all things. There are a great many people now that are willing to observe what they like about Christ, but the things they don’t like, they turn away from. But His commission to His disciples was, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations…to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you” (see Matthew 28:19–20). And what right has a messenger who has been sent of God to change the message?
ERWIN LUTZERBecause of the failure of many high-profile believers, many people …

It is written. Matthew 4:4, 7, 10
D.L. MOODYChrist overcame Satan by the Word. He simply said: “It is written;” and a second time, and a third time, “It is written;” and that was the arrow that shot right into Satan and drove him away. The devil does not care a bit about our feelings. He can make our feelings good or bad; he can take us up on the mountain or down into the valley, and we can only vanquish him by the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word.
ERWIN LUTZERThe Word does work when …
