Pastor Philip's Prayer for the 2024 Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization
Would you pray for me this week? I’m joining the North American delegation for the Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization hosted in Seoul, South Korea. History of the Lausanne Congress In 1974, Billy Graham and John Stott initiated the first gathering in Lausanne, Switzerland, responding in part to the failure of the “conciliar missions movement” which had fallen into theological drift. Graham and Stott believed the world needed an evangelically faithful gathering to coordinate the global church to reach the whole world with the good news of Jesus Christ. Subsequent congresses were held in Manila, Philippines in 1989 and … Read More >

Awake And Bright
Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. Ephesians 5:14 D.L. MOODYIf the lost are to be reached by the gospel of the Son of God, Christianity must be more aggressive than it has been in the past. We have been on the defensive long enough; the time has come for us to enter on a war of aggression. When we as children of God wake up and go to work in the vineyard, then those who are living in wickedness all about us will be reached; but not in any other way. … Read More >

Faith For A Friend
And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and when they had made an opening, they let down the bed on which the paralytic lay. Mark 2:4 D.L. MOODYThese four friends were terribly in earnest. They let the bed on which the man was lying, down into the room. They laid their friend right at the feet of Jesus Christ; a good place to lay him, was it not? Perhaps you have a skeptical son or an unbelieving husband, or some other member of your family, that scoffs at … Read More >

A Dim Light Is Better Than None
Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16 D.L. MOODYIf every one of us was illuminated by the Spirit of God, how we could light up the churches! But to have a lantern without any light, would be a nuisance. Many Christians carry along lanterns and say, “I wouldn’t give up my religion for yours.” They talk about religion. The religion that has no fire is like painted fire. These are artificial Christians. Do you belong to that class? You can … Read More >

God Alone
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. 1 Peter 3:18 D.L. MOODYHere we see that Christ was raised up from the grave by the Spirit, and the power exercised to raise Christ’s dead body must raise our dead souls and quicken them. No other power on Earth can quicken a dead soul but the same power that raised the body of Jesus Christ out of Joseph’s sepulchre. And if we want that power to … Read More >

Spiritual Surgery
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” John 1:46 D.L. MOODYAfter all, we do not gain much by discussion. Let objectors or inquirers only get one personal interview with the Son of God, and that will scatter all their darkness, all their prejudice, and all their unbelief. The moment that Philip succeeded in getting Nathanael to Christ, the work was done. ERWIN LUTZERMy brothers and sisters, when the Holy Spirit of God does His work to show us our sin and our need of Christ, it is … Read More >

Supernatural Witness
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Acts 1:8 D.L. MOODYIf these early Christians had gone out and commenced preaching then and there without the promised power, do you think that scene would have taken place on the day of Pentecost? Peter would have stood up and beat against the air, while the Jews would have gnashed their teeth and mocked him. But they tarried in Jerusalem; they waited ten days. “What!” … Read More >

Disciples Make Disciples
And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God. Acts 13:43 D.L. MOODYHow much would Paul and Barnabas have accomplished if they had pronounced the benediction and sent these people home? It is a thing to weep over that we have got thousands and thousands of church members who are good for nothing toward extending the kingdom of God. They understand markets, and fairs, and sewing-circles; but when you ask them to sit … Read More >

Every Knee Bows
So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 D.L. MOODYSometimes it looks as if God’s servants fail. When Herod beheaded John the Baptist, it looked as if John’s mission was a failure. But was it? The voice that rang through the valley of the Jordan rings through the whole world today. You can hear its echo upon the mountains and the valleys yet, “He must increase, but I … Read More >

Power Unto Life
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 … Read More >
