Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Daniel 4:37
D.L. MOODYWhen you find that a man has got to praising God it is a good sign. Nebuchadnezzar’s earlier edict said much about other people’s duty toward the God of the Hebrews, but nothing about what the king himself should do. Oh, let us get to personal love, personal praise! That is what is wanted in the church in the present day.We …

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21
D.L. MOODYIt does not take long to tell where a man’s treasure is. In fifteen minutes’ conversation with most men, you can tell whether their treasures are on Earth or in heaven. Talk to a patriot about his country, and you will see his eye light up; you will find he has his heart there. Talk to businessmen and tell them where they can make a thousand dollars, and see their interest; their hearts are there. Talk to people who are living just for fashion, of …

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 you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You will be brought down to Hades. For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. Matthew 11:23
D.L. MOODYA man said to me some time ago: “Don’t you think David fell as low as Saul?”Yes, he fell lower because God had lifted him up higher. The difference is that when Saul fell, there was no sign of repentance; but when David fell, a wail went up from his broken heart, there was true repentance.

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
D.L. MOODYThe natural human heart is like that inn at Bethlehem—no room for Christ! Every true saint of God for four thousand years had been gazing out into the future, looking and listening that they might hear the footfall of the Coming One. Bible students think that when Eve brought forth her firstborn and said: “I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Genesis 4:1), she thought …

I’m writing this on Wednesday morning. The election results have just been announced. It seems wise to reflect on how we as Christians ought to respond in this moment. Three main thoughts come to mind:
First, if the candidate you voted for won, this is a good time to remember what Psalm 146:3 says, “Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” No matter how enthusiastic our support for a candidate, as followers of Jesus, our deepest and final trust is reserved for God alone. Idolatry is sneaky. We must keep …

For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. Acts 2:39
D.L. MOODYIt is not only our privilege to have our names written in heaven, but also those of the children whom God has given us; and our hearts ought to go right out for them. Many a father’s and many a mother’s heart is burdened with anxiety for the salvation of their children. If your own name is there, let your next aim in life be to get your children’s there …

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting! Psalm 139:23–24
D.L. MOODYIf we should all honestly make this prayer once every day, there would be a good deal of change in our lives. “Search ME”—not my neighbor. It is so easy to pray for other people but so hard to get home to ourselves. I am afraid that we who are busy in the Lord’s work are especially in danger of neglecting our own vineyard.There …

“Hell disappeared and no one noticed.”
With that terse observation the late church historian Martin Marty summarized our attitude toward a vanishing doctrine that received a great deal of attention in previous generations. Hell is scarcely mentioned in most evangelical churches today. I must ask: When is the last time you heard a sermon or a serious Bible lesson on the topic? Sometimes it is given a quick mention, but yes, Marty is right, hell has disappeared and we didn’t even notice.
But in November of 2025, the doctrine of hell received renewed attention when Kirk Cameron said (Part …

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35
D.L. MOODYNotice how that statement has been fulfilled. There was no shorthand reporter following Jesus around taking down His words; there were no papers to print His sermons, and they wouldn’t have printed them if there had been any daily papers. The leaders of the people were against Him.I can see one of your modern freethinkers standing near Christ and hearing Him say: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.” I see the scornful look on his …
