If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15:19
D.L. MOODYTo deny the resurrection is to say that we will never see more of the loved ones whose bodies have been committed to the clay. If Christ has not risen, this life is the only one.How cruel it is to have anyone love you if this be true! How horrible that they should let the tendrils of your heart twine around them if, when they are torn away in death, that is to be the …

Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 1 Peter 5:5
D.L. MOODYA man can counterfeit love, he can counterfeit faith, he can counterfeit hope and all the other graces, but it is very difficult to counterfeit humility. You soon detect mock humility. They have a saying among the Arabs that as the tares and the wheat grow they show which God has blessed. The ears that God has blessed bow their heads and acknowledge every grain, and the more fruitful they are, the lower their …

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.

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 have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. John 16:1–2
D.L. MOODYA man said to me some time ago: “Mr. Moody, now that I am converted, have I to give up the world?” “No,” said I, “you haven’t to give up the world. If you give a good ringing testimony for the Son of God, the world will give you up pretty quick; they won’t want you.”

Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his! Numbers 23:10
D.L. MOODYThe sanctified man and the unsanctified one look at heaven very differently. The unsanctified man simply chooses heaven in preference to hell. He thinks that if he must go to either one, he would rather try heaven. It is like a man with a farm who has a place offered him in another country where there is said to be a gold mine; he hates to give up all he has and take any risk. But if he is going to …

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).
