  • Where Art Thou? By D L Moody

    THE very first thing that happened after the news reached heaven of the fall of man, was that God came straight down to seek out the lost one. As He walks through the garden in the cool of the day, you can hear Him calling “Adam! Adam! Where art thou?”…

  • What Must I Do to Be Saved? By D L Moody

    Suppose you do not want to hear a sermon (on this last night) so much as you want to know how to be saved. I want, if I can, to answer that question, “What must I do to be saved?” There is no question that can come before us in…

  • Tomorrow May Be Too Late, By D L Moody

    “Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”Isaiah 55:6. I have learned that when anyone becomes in earnest about his soul’s salvation and he begins to seek God, it does not take long for an anxious sinner to meet an anxious…

  • To the Afflicted, By D L Moody

    If I were to ask this audience what Christ came into this world for, every one of you would say to save sinners, and then you would stop.  A great many think that is all Christ came to do – to save sinners. Now, we are told that He came,…

  • The Seven “I Will’s” of Christ, By D L Moody

    When a man says, “I will,” it may not mean much. We very often say “I will” when we don’t mean to fulfill what we say. But when we come to the “I will” of Christ, He means to fulfill it. Everything He promised to do, He is able and…

  • The Reward of the Faithful, By D L Moody

    I can speak from experience – I have been in the Lord’s service for twenty one years, and I want to testify that He is a good paymaster – that He pays promptly.  Oh, I think I see faces before me light up at these words.  You have been out…

  • The Qualifications for Soul Winning, By D L Moody

    God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of. God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness; let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls.…

  • The Lord’s Work, By D L Moody

    What men want in doing the Lord’s work is (1) Courage, (2) Enthusiasm, (3) Perseverance, (4) Sympathy. Courage The man who is afraid, who holds down his head like a bulrush, is not the worker whom God will bless; but God gives courage to him whom He means to use.…

  • Shall We Meet Our Loved Ones Again? By D L Moody

    This is one of the grandest chapters in the writings of Paul. It is especially grand to those who have lost friends. No sooner do loved ones pass away than the question arises, Shall we meet them again? Paul answers this question and gives a consolation we can find so…

  • Repentance, By D L Moody

    You will find my text tonight in the seventeenth chapter of Acts, part of the thirtieth verse: “And now commandeth all men everywhere to repent.” I have heard a number of complaints about the preaching here in the Tabernacle, that repentance has not been touched upon. The fact is that I…

  • Questions from God, By D L Moody

    “Where is thy brother?” Genesis 4:9 Here is a young man. He is the only son of a widowed mother, whose husband died and left her bankrupt. She has toiled hard to give her son an education. She has watched over him with the tenderest care, and he leaves home with…

  • Prayer, By D L Moody

    Our Heavenly Father, we pray thee that thou wilt give us more and more of the compassion of Christ. We read from the very beginning that he was moved with compassion, as this good Samaritan, when he met this poor, wounded and dying man. O God, give us the spirit…

  • Lost and Found By D L Moody

    A great many people tell you, “I will become a Christian when Christ comes and seeks me.” I was talking to a gray-haired man in my native town not long ago who, when I spoke to him about his soul, suggested that he would become a Christian when the Lord…

  • Hell, By D L Moody

    A man came to me the other day and said: “I like your preaching.  You don’t preach hell, and I suppose you don’t believe in one.” Now I don’t want any one to rise up in the Judgment and say that I was not a faithful preacher of the Word…

  • Heaven’s Inhabitantes, By D L Moody

    If there is anything that ought to make heaven near to Christians, it is knowing that God and all their loved ones will be there. What is it that makes home so attractive? Is it because we have a beautiful home? Is it because we have beautiful lawns? Is it…

  • Heaven – Its Hope, By D L Moody

    Like all the other wonderful works of God, this Book bears the sure stamp of its author. It is like Him. Though man plants the seeds, God makes the flowers, and they are perfect and beautiful like Himself. Men wrote what is in the Bible, but the work is God’s.…

  • Does God Answer Prayer? By D L Moody

    I suppose there has been no word on Christians’ lips so frequently at this time as the word “prayer,” and there is not one in this hall who has notthought often, during the last forty-eight hours, of the importance of prayer. During this week of prayer, they are a great…

  • Christian Love By D L Moody

    It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace,gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it — and I think it is very beautiful — is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering…

  • Christ All in All, By D L Moody

    Colossians 3:11- “Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. CHRISTis all in all to every one who has truly found Him. He is our Savior, Redeemer,Deliverer, Shepherd, Teacher, and also sustains toward us many more…

  • Bible Marking, By D L Moody

    from Golden Counsels by Dwight L. Moody, 1899. An old writer said that some books are to be tasted, some to be swallowed, some to be chewed and digested. The Bible is one that you can never finish with. It is like a bottomless well; you can always find fresh…
