For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. Romans 1:16
D.L. MOODYI remember some meetings being held in a locality where the tide did not rise very quickly, and bitter and reproachful things were being said about the work. But one day, one of the most prominent men in the place rose and said: “I want it to be known that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, and if there is any odium to be cast on His cause, I am prepared to take my …

And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Romans 4:5
D.L. MOODYThe thief had nails through both hands, so he could not work; and a nail through each foot, so he could not run errands for the Lord. He could not lift a hand or a foot toward his salvation, and yet Christ offered him the gift of God, and he took it. He threw him a passport, and took him with Him into paradise.

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. Isaiah 57:20
D.L. MOODYThe only thing that can keep us from peace is sin. God turns the way of the wicked upside down. “There is no peace unto the wicked,” says God (Isaiah 48:22). They are like the troubled sea that cannot rest, casting up filth and mire all the while; but peace with God by faith in Jesus Christ, peace through the knowledge of forgiven sin is like a rock—the waters go dashing and surging past, but …

You are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14
D.L. MOODYWhen Moses was in Egypt, to punish Pharaoh, he turned the waters into blood. When Christ was on Earth He turned the water into wine. That is the difference between law and grace. The law says, “Kill him;” grace says, “Forgive him.” Law says, “Condemn him;” grace says, “Love him.” When the law came out of Horeb, three thousand men were destroyed. (Exodus 32:28). At Pentecost, under grace, three thousand men found life (Acts 2:41). What a difference! When Moses came to the burning bush, he was commanded …

I will seek the lost. Ezekiel 34:16
D.L. MOODYI do not believe there is a man that the Spirit of God has not striven with at some period of his life. Every man who has ever been saved through these six thousand years was sought after by God. No sooner did Adam fall than God sought him. He had gone away frightened, and hid himself away among the bushes in the garden, but God sought him; and from that day to this, God has always taken the initiative to seek the lost.

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 …

There is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:22–23
D.L. MOODYThat is one of the hardest truths man has to learn. We are apt to think that we are just a little better than our neighbors, and if we find they are a little better than ourselves, we go to work and try to pull them down to our level. If you want to find out who and what man is, go to the third chapter of Romans, and there the whole story is told “There is none righteous, no, …

Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable. 1 Peter 1:23
D.L. MOODYGod has not only adopted us, but we are His by birth: we have been born into His kingdom. My boy was as much mine when he was a day old as now that he is fourteen. He was my son; although it did not appear what he would be when he attained manhood. He is mine; although he may have to undergo testing under tutors and governors. The children of God are not perfect; but we are perfectly His children.

Faith apart from works is useless. James 2:20
D.L. MOODYYou may very often see dead fish floating with the stream, but you never saw dead fish swimming against it. Well, such a fish is a false believer. Profession is just floating down the stream, but confession is swimming against it, no matter how strong the tide.
ERWIN LUTZERI like Moody’s phrase, “profession is floating down the stream, confession is swimming against it.” Confessing Christ as Lord brings with it a transformation of the heart, a transformation of values. We begin to hate what we once loved and love …

[Abraham] grew strong in his faith. Romans 4:20
D.L. MOODYReal true faith is man’s weakness leaning on God’s strength. It is the Shepherd’s business to keep the sheep. Whoever heard of the sheep keeping the shepherd? People have an idea that they have to keep themselves and Christ too. It is a false idea. It is the work of the Shepherd to look after them and take care of those who trust Him. An Irishman said, on one occasion, that he often trembled, but his Rock never did.
