For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? Mark 8:36
D.L. MOODYO that we would wake up to the thought of what it is to be lost! The world has been rocked to sleep by Satan who is going up and down telling people it doesn’t mean anything. I believe in the old-fashioned heaven and hell. Christ came down to save us from a terrible hell, and any man who is cast down to hell from here must go in the full blaze of the gospel and over the mangled body …

For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. Mark 7:21–22
D.L. MOODYIf a man should advertise that he could take a correct photograph of people’s hearts, do you believe he would find any customers? There is not a man among us whom you could hire to have his photograph taken if you could photograph the real man. We got to have our faces taken, with our carefully arranged clothes and hair, and if the artist flatters us, we say, “Oh, yes, that’s …

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. Exodus 20:12
D.L. MOODYThe one glimpse the Bible gives us of thirty out of the thirty-three years of Christ’s life on Earth shows that He did not come to destroy the Fifth Commandment. The secret of all those silent years is embodied in that verse in Luke’s Gospel—“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them” (Luke 2:51). Did He not set an example of true filial love and care …

To mask or not to mask? To vaccinate or not? Should vaccinations be mandatory or a matter of personal choice? Should children be required to wear masks at school? Even after this variant or any other has run its course, what comes next? I reply, plenty. With overwhelming questions like these, the celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas doesn’t seem to have any relevance to the realities we face.
Jesus predicted pandemics like this, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, …

Today’s Reading: Mark 15:37-38; John 19:30Today’s Reference: Colossians 2:13-14 “And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”
“It is finished.”
In Greek, this cry of Jesus is one word, tetelestai, and in legal terms it could also mean “paid in full.” Jesus wants us to know that our sins are paid in full. There is not one little …

And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only. Mark 9:8
D.L. MOODYWhat a dark night it would have been if our Lord and Master had been caught up with Moses and Elijah, and no Christ had died for our sins. Oh, how Jesus Christ has lit up this world! But suppose He had gone up to heaven on the other side of Calvary and had never finished His work. Suppose that God, in His love for His Son, had said: “I can’t let those men spit upon you and smite you; I will …

Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
D.L. MOODYIt is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made children the standard of faith if He had known they were not capable of understanding His words? It is far easier for children to love and trust than for grown-up persons, and so we should set Christ before them as the supreme object of their choice.

And when he comes, he will convict the world…concerning sin, because they do not believe in me.John 16:8–9D.L. MOODYSome men seem to think it is a great misfortune that they do not have faith. They seem to look upon it as a kind of infirmity, and they think they ought to be sympathized with and pitied. Bear in mind, it is not a misfortune, it is the most damning sin of the world.The greatest enemy God and man have got is unbelief. Christ found it on both sides of the cross. It was the very thing …

Come with me to the ancient ruins of the synagogue in Capernaum where Jesus taught and displayed His power. While Jesus was teaching, we read that a man with an unclean spirit entered and addressed Jesus. The evil spirit cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the holy one of God” (Mark 1:24).
I know who you are—the holy one of God!
It has been said that demons are such notorious liars that the only time you can believe them is when they tell you …
