To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, John 1:12
D.L. MOODYYes, sons of God! Power to overcome the world, the flesh, and the devil; power to crucify every besetting sin, passion, lust; power to shout in triumph over every trouble and temptation of life, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me!” (Philippians 4:13).
ERWIN LUTZERPower to overcome sin! That is power at its best. Slaves don’t tell their master what to do; they do the master’s bidding. To be a slave of …

Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. John 13:1
D.L. MOODYIt is recorded of Jesus Christ, just when He was about to be departed from His disciples and led away to Calvary, that: “having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” He knew that one of His disciples would betray Him, yet He loved Judas. He knew another disciple would deny Him and swear he never knew Him, and yet He loved Peter. It was the love which Christ had for Peter that broke …

Her name is Kourtney. I will tell her story in a moment.
First, however, I’d like to explain some theological matters about God’s relationship to those who are born with a disability or with limited giftedness and a perceived lack of physical beauty. What is God’s involvement, if any, in the way each of us was formed, our appearance, or who we would strive to become?
Many theologians seek to absolve God of all responsibility for the “mistakes of nature” by posing the argument that because of sin, nature is fallen. Therefore, God has a “hands off policy” about many …

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. Isaiah 26:3–4
D.L. MOODYAs long as our mind is stayed on our dear selves, we will never have peace. Some people think more of themselves than of all the rest of the world. It is self in the morning, self at noon, and self at night. It is self when they wake up and self when they go to bed. They are all the time looking at themselves and …

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 …

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:5–6
D.L. MOODYSo faith is the golden key that unlocks the treasures of heaven. It was the shield David took when he met Goliath on the field; he believed that God was going to deliver the Philistine into his hands. Someone has said that faith could …
