“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name;
“Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”—John 1:11-13
Some folks talk about being adopted into the family, but thank God, I was born into it. In the world when you want to receive some one into your family that was not born into it, you have got to …
Sermon preached by A.C. Dixon, D.D. at The Moody Church in 1909.
In the year 1858 there began in Chicago a religious movement which became the greatest revival movement of the century, the abundant fruits of which can be seen today in every part of the world. It centered in D.L. Moody, who resolved in early life that he would let God show to the world what He could do with one man fully surrendered to His will.
The beginning was small. First, a group of ragged children in an abandoned freight car, which grew into a large Sunday school. …
Delivered at Founder’s Week Conference, Moody Bible Institute.
If, after reading the twelfth verse of the second chapter of Romans, and comparing it with John 3:16, you fail to see that the heathen are lost without Christ, that they are really perishing without the Gospel, you are not fit to be a missionary either to the heathen, so called, at home or to the heathen abroad. You have got to know that there is only one way of escape for all the world before you will ever get a missionary heart charged with the compassion of Christ and become a …
“And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.”—Exodus 12:13
My friends, it was the blood that did it. Just so it is now. God says, “When I see the blood I will pass over you. The blood shall be a token unto you.” And I tell you, my friends, the greatest question that can be before you tonight is this: Have you got …
Sermon delivered at The Moody Church by W.B. Hinson, D.D.
“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”—2 Corinthians 4:6
Luke says it was a set face. It had to be or He would have turned back, for He trod a road rough beyond all roads ever trod by mortal, and if He had not had the set face, He would have fallen by the wayside and left us.
It has been set …
“For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.
“For them must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the age hath he appeared, to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
“So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time, without sin, unto salvation.”—Hebrews 9:24, 26, 28

The message of last Sunday evening has led me to select the text I have chosen for tonight, as I want to say something more along the line of that address on “The Home.”
Text: Joshua 24:15. “As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.” “…choose ye this day whom you will serve.”
These words, as you know, were spoken by Joshua, one of the greatest statesmen God ever placed at the head of a nation, and also a great military general.
Moses, the great Hebrew lawgiver, had led the children of Israel as far as the …
“And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
“And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
“And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”—Luke 24:30–32
THE MAKING OF A HOME.Of all the institutions in the world there is none that is more sacred, and, probably we might say, there is none so sacred as …
“Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”—Ephesians 4:30
The “sealing” of the Holy Spirit is referred to in the first chapter, verse 13, and the reference there is to the experience that came to the church at Ephesus at its beginning, as recorded in the 19th chapter of Acts. It was to this experience Paul referred when he said: “After that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise.” And here …
“That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us; which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast.”—Hebrews 6:18–19
There is an ancient legend that the gods filled a box with blessings and gave it to Pandora, the first woman, for safe keeping. She opened it incautiously and everything in it escaped except hope. But Pandora, with hope in her box, was richer than she could have been if every …
