“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”—Psalm 23:4
As we picture a day in the life of a sheep, we see the sheep entering a time of darkness and shadows. The word though suggests to me that it may not happen. It is not when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, rather though. But is not death the most certain thing about life? No necessarily, for in 1 Thessalonians 4 we read of …
I was walking down to the Depot Church in Philadelphia one night when a friend said to me, “Moody, what are you going to preach about to-night?” I said I thought I would try and preach about heaven. I noticed a little scowl came over his face at that, so I said, “What is the matter?”
“O!” said he, “why don’t you give us something practical? Nobody knows anything about heaven; it is all guess-work to preach about that.”
“Well,” said I, “if the Lord didn’t mean us to talk about heaven He wouldn’t have talked so much about it …
Sermon preached on Sunday, September 23, 1962 by Dr. Alan Redpath.
Last month we saw that two world wars in this twentieth century began, in the judgment of all who were living at that particular time, by ushering in what was going to be the golden age. But those two world wars that have taken place have prepared the way in a most amazing way for the fulfillment of prophecy in two specific areas.
In the first place World War I released Palestine from the dominion of the Turk, and opened the way for the return of Israel, an event …
Sermon by Rev. George Darby, pastor of Calvary Church, Navarre, Minnesota.
“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”—Matthew 5:14–16
“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth …
We are thinking about Psalm 23 in the context of a day in the life of a sheep. In the first verse we see the early start the sheep made; then a pause in the heat of the day. Now the sheep is again on the move as we consider the last part of verse three: “He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
The sheep has just been having a rest, lying down, enjoying still waters and the restoration of quiet in the middle of the day. There is a need for that in the …
Now I want you to take special notice of the words written in Jeremiah 36:17, “Ah Lord God! Behold, Thou has made the heaven and the earth by Thy great power and stretched-out arm, and there is nothing too hard for Thee.”
I think the Lord was pleased with this prayer of Jeremiah, for He responds to him in the twenty-seventh verse, “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?” God likes to have His people believe that there is nothing too hard for Him. We talk about Frederick the Great, …
It is a sorry state of things when people [who are] supposed to be Christians and moderately intelligent need to be reminded once a year that this world needs our Christ and that we have this “obligation” to offer the Gospel message and preach it to every creature. Why do we need to be reminded of such a simple fact?
We are encouraged to find that in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ here on Earth He Himself sensed this need to have sort of an annual missionary conference with His disciples, and at regular intervals He spoke often …
A message preached by Pastor Frank Currie at The Moody Church on August 19, 1962.
Several years of experience of working with young people and many hours of counseling with young people, a broken home background in my own childhood, four children of my own, and the evidence of need in the church have brought me to the convictions of this message to the many thousands God has called to be parents. To young people, may I saw that while this represents a strong and serious word to your parents, you ought to remember your responsibility before God to honor, …
Many years ago Great Britain had the privilege of having as its Prime Minister a brilliant man who was also a devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. William Gladstone was his name. Late in life, well over 80 years of age, he made his last visit to Oxford University. In the course of that visit, he met with a class of seniors, and spoke to them about the happy changes that had come about during his lifetime. He spoke with such radiant optimism that he aroused a challenge among the students. One of the seniors spoke up and said, …
