For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:38
D.L. MOODYI do not believe there is any false religion in the world that men are not proud of. The only religion of which I have ever heard that men were ashamed of is the religion of Jesus Christ. I preached two weeks in Salt Lake City, and I did not find a Mormon that was not proud …

Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” Genesis 28:16–17
D.L. MOODYWhen people come into the house of God, they put on a sober appearance. They act as if there was something very strange about the house of God. I would not say a word to detract from the holiness of the house of God. But let us bear …

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.
ERWIN LUTZERLook again at this remarkable conversion story—the thief …

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 …

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 …

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”—these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9–10
D.L. MOODYIt is said by travelers that in climbing the Alps, the houses of far distant villages can be seen with great distinctness, so that sometimes the number of panes of glass in a church window can be counted. The distance looks so short that the place to which …

The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit. John 3:8
D.L. MOODYYou might just as well tell me there is no such thing as wind, as tell me there is no such thing as a man being born of the Spirit. I have felt the Spirit of God working in my heart just as really and as truly as I have felt the wind blowing in my face. I cannot reason it …

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.
