Jonah: The Book And The Man
The Book Itself The book of Jonah is the most charming bit of autobiography in the Bible, a drama of real life in three acts; a masterpiece of inspired story. The fascination of the book lies in its candor; its charm in its graphic descriptions. Short—a matter of five minutes reading—four chapters, forty-eight verses, 1,328 words; it is a study for time and eternity, a marvelous unfolding of the secrets of the soul. It is of interest to us because it is the story of a man who was a minister; an open air preacher, a city evangelist, a missionary, … Read More >

The Challenge Of The Cross
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). “And there followed him a certain young man” (Mark 14:51). I want to talk to the young people and especially the young men. I want to talk to you about a full priced religion, the kind that is not afraid to face a Gethsemane and a Calvary and that holds not its life dear unto itself for the sake of truth and righteousness. One of our English poets [Thomas Hood, 1799–1845] has said: “Evil is wrought for want … Read More >

Civil Disobedience
“And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” —Acts 4:18–20 Here is a story with a very current subject. In our passage today, we read of Peter and John being jailed for unauthorized preaching. It followed closely the healing of the lame man in chapter three. The lame … Read More >

Soul Winning—A Privilege And A Duty
I want to give you a glimpse of the New Testament church at Jerusalem. There were one hundred and twenty believers, it says, and within twelve months, a brief year, we have a record of growth described in such words as, “multitude,” “multitudes,” “three thousand,” “five thousand,” “multiplied greatly.” I do not know how many people had been led to Christ, but I know that we have here the most remarkable piece of growth and development that the world knows anything about. It is most amazing. All I can hope to do this morning is to call you attention to … Read More >

Our Message And Why We Preach It
The following is a synopsis of an address delivered last month at the commencement exercises of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago by the class speaker representing the graduates of the Pastors’ Course. We are glad to give space to this clear, forceful treatise not only because it is sane and scriptural and the testimony of the author who is one of our most valued active members, but because it is also the testimony of The Moody Church. Some of us are about to enter upon what will be our life work. Whether we go to the people of a … Read More >

Self-Abandonment In Soul Winning
No one will ever save another who is not all on fire with unquenchable zeal for lost men and women. That is the absolutely essential quality for successful soul winning. That is the reason why many preachers lack conversions in their work. Young men are being turned out from many of our modern theological schools and entering the ministry lacking this all-consuming passion for souls. I know a man who tells me that although he has been in the ministry for twenty-five years, he cannot trace anything he has done directly to the conversion of a soul. I think an … Read More >

Four Important Essentials In All Christian Work
I made a statement not a great while ago that wherever we journeyed in different parts of the world, we had fount it literally true that wherever men were holding to the authority of the Scriptures and the deity of Jesus, the approval of God and men seemed to be given to them, but wherever we found in our journey around the world men disposed to question the deity of Jesus or the authority of the Scriptures, we found the work suffering. Let me speak of four things this morning that enter into all successful Christian work. A Belief In … Read More >

Depending On You
We are unprofitable servants; see if we are not. A good business contractor would not hire men to carry cement and sand on their backs a hundred miles to build a house when he could ship it on a railroad car to the spot; it would be unprofitable. God could use angels to tell the millions of Earth about Jesus; but He has chosen an unprofitable method and shut Himself up to us to do it. Listen!....They are depending on you. If you do not tell the folks in your circle, who will? Do you know the Gospel of this … Read More >

The Inner City: A Matter Of Conscience
The city is here to stay. We cannot ignore, deplore, or flee it forever. At the present time, ninety percent of Earth’s inhabitants live in five percent of Earth’s area. Within the next century it is claimed that 30 billion people may live in a universal city that covers the globe. Already the United States is a metropolitan society with at least 60 percent of its population clustered in the cities. In the cities, the future of America will be decided for better or for worse. While the population of the cities mounts and continues, evangelicals, for the most part, … Read More >

The Yuletide Spirit
There is no time of the year when people generally are so moved to kindly consideration of others as when the whole professed Christian world is recalling anew the wondrous circumstances connected with the first advent of our blessed Lord. Even the worldlings who know Him not as their own Saviour cannot but feel the impress of the marvelous love of God in the great gift bestowed upon mankind when He sent his Son that He might become in due time the propitiation for our sins. Bethlehem, apart from Calvary, would be utterly incomplete. It was on Calvary that our … Read More >
