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 >

Christians And Amusements
“Giving no offense in anything, that the ministry be not blamed.” —2 Corinthians 6:3 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” —1 John 2:15 Not a few Christians have been‚ and some are—greatly perplexed as to what should be the attitude of a Christian toward the world and its amusements. There are some Scriptures that tell us very definitely that the Christian is not of the world, that he has been chosen out of the world, that he is separated … Read More >

God In The Trenches
“Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.” —Psalm 68:1 The world has reached the place where a great many people have the feeling that if God ever did care about the earth, He has ceased to care; many feel that if He ever did have any pity, His pity has gone from Him; that if His eye ever did watch the sparrow in its fall, that eye is closed; that if He ever did count the hairs of men’s heads, the millions of headless in this war [World War I] … 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 >

Hungry For God!
My folks, it is good to be home! I tell you, I have been a long way from home, and it is good to get back. I feel so good in getting back that I hardly want to say anything tonight, and yet I have so much to say that I do not know where to begin. I arrived in town this morning, and the first thing [I] had to [do was to] go to a reception for Mr. [Billy] Sunday at the depot, and then up to his house. It is great that he is in town, and we … Read More >

Fishers Of Men
“Now, when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught…And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him.”—Luke 5:4, 11 This little Scripture that I read today is a splendid example of revealing truth by contrast. These men had been fishers all their lives. They has been trying to win in a big way ever since they started business. To get enough fish and sell them so they would have enough money for the rest of their lives was a dream. … Read More >
