That though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9
D.L. MOODYThis poor world is groaning and sighing for sympathy—human sympathy. I am quite sure it was that in Christ’s life which touched the hearts of the common people. He made Himself one with them. He who was rich for our sakes became poor. He was born in the manger so that He might put Himself on a level with the lowest of the low.
ERWIN LUTZERJesus became poor and became the victim of …

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 …

Death shall be no more. Revelation 21:4
D.L. MOODYSomeone said to a person dying: “Well, you are in the land of the living yet.” “No,” said he, “I am in the land of the dying, but I am going to the land of the living; they live there and never die.” Here and now is the land of sin and death and tears, but up yonder they never die. It is perpetual life; it is unceasing joy.
ERWIN LUTZERDeath is not really the enemy it appears to be on this side of the curtain. Is it mysterious and …

I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
D.L. MOODYTake Christ for your strength, dear soul. He’ll give you power. 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 your life, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
ERWIN LUTZERChrist’s strength is sufficient; we can move forward in the worst of circumstances; Paul lived a life deprived of the comforts he was used to, but he was content. As Christ strengthens …

Go on up to a high mountain, O Zion, herald of good news. Isaiah 40:9
D.L. MOODYA traveler once made arrangements with a guide to take him to the top of a high mountain to see the sunrise. They had not journeyed long when there arose a terrible thunderstorm. “It’s no use to go on,” the gentlemen said. “We cannot see the sunrise in the midst of this fearful storm.” “O, sir,” said the guide, “we shall soon get above the storm.” They could see the lightning playing about them, and the grand old mountain shook with the thunder, …

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
I’ve always loved the 4th of July. As a kid, I looked forward to the Independence Day parade our little town in northeast Ohio had every year. Then there was the cookout in the backyard: hamburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst, corn on the cob, fresh watermelon, and—best of all—s’mores. And finally, fireworks!
But more substantial than all of those fun traditions are, the reality is that life in America has been a tremendous blessing. The freedom to build a life, raise a family, worship God, and live out my faith—that’s a huge privilege, and one many people …

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.
ERWIN LUTZERGod doesn’t have a pay scale in heaven by which He evaluates us like people do on Earth. It isn’t an employer-employee …

I have fought the good fight. 2 Timothy 4:7
D.L. MOODYRome never had such a conqueror as Paul within her walls. Rome never had such a mighty man as Paul within her boundaries. Although the world looked down upon him, and perhaps he looked very small and contemptible, yet in the sight of heaven, he was the mightiest man who ever trod the streets of Rome. Probably there will never be another one like him travelling those streets. The Son of God walked with him like the fourth man in the fiery furnace (see Daniel 3:24–25).

Our citizenship is in heaven. Philippians 3:20
D.L. MOODYSomeone asked a Scotchman if he was on the way to heaven, and he said: “Why man, I live there; I am not on the way.” That is just it. We want to live in heaven; while we are walking in this world, it is our privilege to have our hearts and affections there.
ERWIN LUTZERWhile Paul was sitting in jail penning the book of Philippians, Nero, who’d had his own mother murdered, was ruling Rome. He was also the one who, when Rome burned, blamed it on the Christians. …

In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? John 14:2
D.L. MOODYWhat has been, and is now, one of the strongest feelings in the human heart? Is it not to find some better place, some lovelier spot, than we now have? It is for a place of rest that men everywhere are seeking, and they can have it if they will; but instead of looking down, they must look up to find it. As men grow in knowledge, they vie with …
