Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
D.L. MOODYSome years ago, a gentleman asked me which I thought was the most precious promise of all those that Christ left. I took some time to look over the promises, but I gave it up. I found that I could not answer the question. Like a man with a large family of children, he cannot tell which he likes best, he loves them all. But if not the best, this is one of the sweetest promises of all:“Come unto …

And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. Matthew 13:58
D.L. MOODYUnbelief is as much an enemy to the Christian as it is to the unconverted. It will keep back the blessing now as much as it did in the days of Christ. We read that in one place Christ could not do many mighty works because of unbelief. If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God dare unbelieving? I contend that God’s children are alone able to hinder God’s work. Infidels, atheists, and …

Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you. Matthew 5:11
D.L. MOODYListen to Paul in the jail at Philippi. “If God wants me to go to heaven by way of this prison,” he says, “it is all the same to me; rejoice and be exceeding glad, Silas. I thank God that I am accounted worthy to suffer for Jesus’ sake.” And as they sang their praises to God, the other prisoners heard them; but, what was far more important, the Lord heard them, and the old prison shook. Talk about Alexander the Great making the world tremble …

Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. Revelation 22:12
D.L. MOODYIf I understand things correctly, whenever you find men or women who are looking to be rewarded here for doing right, they are unqualified to work for God; because if they are looking for the applause of men, looking for reward in this life, it will disqualify them for the service of God.

O you of little faith, why did you doubt? Matthew 14:31
D.L. MOODYSomeone has said: “There are three directions to look. If you want to be wretched, look within; if you wish to be distracted, look around; but if you would have peace, look up.” Peter looked away from Christ and he immediately began to sink. He had God’s eternal Word, which was a sure footing, and better than either marble, granite, or iron; but the moment he took his eyes off Christ, down he went into the water.
ERWIN LUTZERSo far as we know, throughout history, there …

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 …

Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Matthew 18:21–22
D.L. MOODYPeter did not seem to think that he was in danger of falling into sin; his question was, “How often should I forgive my brother?” But very soon we hear that Peter has fallen. I can imagine that when he did fall, the sweet thought came to him of what the Master had said.The …

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22
D.L. MOODYA man may preach with the eloquence of an angel, but if he doesn’t live what he preaches, and doesn’t act upon his faith in his home and his business, his testimony goes for naught, and the people say it is all hypocrisy; it is all a sham. Words are very empty if there is nothing back of them. Your testimony is poor and worthless if there is not a record back of it consistent with what you profess.What we need is to …

Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:20–21
D.L. MOODYVery few people are satisfied with earthly riches. Often the richer the man, the greater the poverty. Somebody has said that getting riches brings care; keeping them brings trouble; abusing them brings guilt; and losing them brings sorrow. It is a great mistake to make so much of riches as we do. But there are some riches we cannot praise too much: riches that never pass away. They are the treasures laid up in heaven for those who truly …

You shine as lights. Philippians 2:15
D.L. MOODYIf we cannot be a lighthouse, let us be a candle. In the old times, people used to come to the evening meetings, bringing their candles with them. The first one would not make a great illumination, but as more people came, there was more light. Suppose all Christians today were burning with a candlelight, would not God be more glorified? If we cannot be a lighthouse, let us be a candle.
ERWIN LUTZERWe are called light. Jesus didn’t say, “Now, you’ll be the light of the world after you get …
