Peace A great mistake people make is that they are looking for peace in the world. It is not to be found in the world. We are going to have it by and by in that millennium reign.

Thankfulness We ought to be more thankful for what we get from God. Perhaps some of you mothers have a child in your family who is constantly complaining—never thankful.

The Love of God We have for our subject this evening, “Love.” I have often thought I wouldn’t have but one text; if I thought I could only make the world believe that God is love, I would only take that text, and go up and down the earth, trying to counteract what Satan has … [Read More...] D.L. Moody Weekly: The Love of God

Heaven We have for our subject this evening, heaven. It is not as some talk about heaven, as just the air.

Come Into the Ark -- While that Door is Open The word comes to Noah, “Come thou and all thy house into the ark.” Now you see all Noah’s neighbors and friends ridiculing him as he moves in.

Come Into the Ark This word “come” you will find in all parts of the Bible; but this is the first time it occurs.

Grace There is a sermon just in the meaning of the word. It is one of these words that are very little understood at the present time, like the word gospel.

The Gospel Christ says, “I did not come to destroy men’s lives. I came to save them.” And it seems to me to be the greatest madness that the world doesn’t receive Christ.

Moody Weekly: To Every Man His Work

The Importance of Mothers Another thing. It seems to me that we devote too little time to studying the Sunday-school lesson.

In fact, you … [Read More...] D.L. Moody Weekly: The Resurrection

It Is Finished! Oh, until I came to read all about what Christ suffered, I never before realized what He had done for us.
