When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. Psalm 91:15
D.L. MOODYIf we call on God for deliverance and for victory over sin and every evil, God will not turn a deaf ear to our call. I don’t care what the past record has been, I don’t care how disobedient or how one may have backslidden and wandered, if one really wants to come back, God accepts the willing mind, God will hear prayer, and answer.Some people say they can’t call. Perhaps you …

For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those who listened. Hebrews 4:2
D.L. MOODYFaith is very important. It is the link that binds us to every promise of God—it brings us every blessing. I do not mean a dead faith, but a living faith. There is a great difference between the two. A man may tell me that ten thousand dollars are deposited in a certain bank in my name. I may believe it, but if I don’t act …

God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it. Acts 2:24
D.L. MOODYI can imagine when they laid our Lord in Joseph’s tomb, one might have seen Death sitting over that sepulchre, saying, “I have Him; He is my victim. He said He was the Resurrection and the Life. Now I hold Him in my cold embrace. They thought He was never going to die; but see Him now. He has had to pay tribute to me.”Never! The glorious morning comes, the Son of Man bursts …

My speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power. 1 Corinthians 2:4
D.L. MOODYWhat the church of God needs today is the old power that the apostles had: if we have that in our churches, there will be new life. Then we will have new ministers—the same old ministers renewed with power, filled with the Spirit.I remember when, in Chicago, many were toiling in the work and it seemed as though the car of salvation didn’t move on, a minister began to cry out from the …

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 …

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 …

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
D.L. MOODYI like to have a text like this because it takes us all in. “Come unto me, all ye that labour.” That doesn’t mean a select few—refined ladies and cultured men. It doesn’t mean good people only. It applies to saint and sinner. Do you think that Christ would shut the door in any one’s face, and say, “I did not mean all; I only meant certain ones”? If you cannot come as a saint, come as a sinner. Only …

Rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Luke 10:20
D.L. MOODYA soldier, wounded during our Civil War, lay dying on his cot. Suddenly the death-like stillness of the room was broken by the cry, “Here! Here!” which burst from the lips of the dying man. Friends rushed to the spot and asked what he wanted.“Hark” he said, “they are calling the roll of heaven, and I am answering to my name.”In a few moments he whispered, “Here!” once more and passed into the presence of the King.

Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24
D.L. MOODYWho are we to strive with? Not with the gatekeeper. The gatekeeper stands with the gate wide open, and he says, “Come in, come in!” All the striving is with the flesh; it is with this old carnal nature of ours.
ERWIN LUTZERSome think to themselves that the way to heaven is really a tall ladder and God gives us grace to climb it rung by rung. And when God sees how sincere we …

If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Proverbs 28:9
D.L. MOODYThink of that! It may shock some of us to think that our prayers are an abomination to God, yet if any are living in known sin, this is what God’s Word says about them. If we are not willing to turn from sin and obey God’s law, we have no right to expect He will answer our prayers. The prayer of the humble and the contrite heart is a delight to God. There is no sound that goes up …
