For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 2 Corinthians 5:13
D.L. MOODYIn my opinion, no one is fit for God’s service until he is willing to be considered mad by the world. They said Paul was mad. I wish we had many more who were bitten with the same kind of madness.
ERWIN LUTZERThere are times when Christians might appear mad to the people of the world. In response to Paul’s teaching, the Roman officer Festus said, “Paul you are out of your mind, …

Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God, took courage and went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Mark 15:43
D.L. MOODYI consider this one of the sublimest, grandest acts any man ever did. In the darkness and gloom, His disciples having all forsaken Him, Judas having sold Him for thirty pieces of silver, the chief apostle Peter having denied Him, the chief priests having found Him guilty of blasphemy, the council having condemned Him to death, and when there was a hiss going up …

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. Mark 10:13
D.L. MOODYI have no sympathy with the idea that our children have to grow up before they are converted. Once I saw a lady with three daughters at her side, and I stepped up to her and asked her if she was a Christian. “Yes, sir.” Then I asked the oldest daughter if she was a Christian. Her chin began to quiver and tears came into her eyes and she said: “I wish I was.” The mother looked very angrily …

She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. Mark 14:8
D.L. MOODYI imagine when Mary died, if God had sent an angel to write her epitaph, he couldn’t have done better than to put over her grave what Christ said: “She hath done what she could.” I would rather have that said over my grave, if it could honestly be said, than to have all the wealth of the Rothschilds. Christ raised a monument to Mary that is more lasting than the monuments raised to Caesar or Napoleon. Their monuments crumble away, but …

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work.Mark 13:34, KJV
D.L. MOODYIf you notice that verse carefully, it does not read “to every man some work,” or “to every man a work,” but “to every man his work.” And I believe that every man and woman living has a work laid out for them to do; that every man’s life is a plan of the Almighty, and that way back in the councils of eternity, God laid …

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 …

And Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, “Behold, this child is appointed for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign that is opposed.” Luke 2:34
D.L. MOODYDo you know that the gospel of Jesus Christ proves either a fragrance of life unto life or of death unto death? You sometimes hear people say: “We will go and hear this man preach. If it does us no good, it will do us no harm.” Don’t you believe it! Every time one hears the gospel and rejects it, the hardening process goes on. …

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38
D.L. MOODYI do not believe there is any false religion in the world that men are not proud of. The only religion of which I have ever heard that men were ashamed of is the religion of Jesus Christ. I preached two weeks in Salt Lake City, and I did not find a Mormon that was not proud …

And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. Mark 2:4
D.L. MOODYThese four friends were terribly in earnest. They let the bed on which the man was lying, down into the room. They laid their friend right at the feet of Jesus Christ; a good place to lay him, was it not? Perhaps you have a skeptical son or an unbelieving husband, or some other member of your family, that scoffs at …

Do good…expecting nothing in return. Luke 6:35
D.L. MOODYLove never looks to see what it is going to get in return. I have generally found that those workers who are looking to see how much they are going to get from the Lord are never satisfied. But love does its work and makes no bargain.
ERWIN LUTZERAll of us have aspired to greatness. We would like to be remembered for doing something significant. That desire for significance is actually God-given because God put eternity in our hearts. In our fallenness, we look for significance in all the wrong …
