The Walk Of The New Man
“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But ye have not so learned Christ; if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: that ye put off concerning the former conversation … Read More >

Incorrectly Clothed
A message on the Importance of the Christ-Controlled life “Clothe yourselves therefore, as God's own people holy and dearly loved, with tender-heartedness, kindness, lowliness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; bearing with one another and readily forgiving each other, if any one has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, you also must forgive. And over all these put on love, which is the perfect bond of union; and let the peace which Christ gives settle all questionings in your hearts, to which peace indeed you were called as belonging to His one Body; and be thankful. Let … Read More >

The Walk Worthy Of Our Calling
“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” —Ephesians 4:1–6 In chapters one to three, we have been studying the doctrinal section … Read More >

A Soul Vision Of Christ
Annual missionary sermon delivered at The Moody Church, Sunday morning, April 26, 1925 by the Rev. Charles E. Hurlburt, General Director of the Africa Inland Mission. Has a peace filled your heart in answer to the prayer of thousands of God’s dear children—those who have spiritual hearing? Have you caught the sound of the stately steppings of the Master Himself moving about the earth? The measure of the blessing that shall come to The Moody Church, to Chicago, to Africa, to China, to India, and to every part of the earth depends upon the vision that you and I shall … Read More >

Clean Christians
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; and walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no … Read More >

How To Stand Firm In An Overly Sexualized Culture
Recently, I was asked what changes I have observed over my five decades of ministry. At the top of the list was the impact, scope, and effects of the sexual revolution. Another change I mentioned was the explosion of technology, which has fueled the sexual revolution. We all know the internet is filled with destructive websites promoting an entire range of sexual immorality and LGBTQ+ lifestyles. We no longer have to go looking for pornography—it comes looking for us. Sexual immorality, of course, was one of the after-effects of Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, which resulted in their banishment … Read More >

Built Together For A Habitation Of God
“Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: in whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. In this second chapter of Ephesians we have already had brought before us in a very vivid way our relationship to the Father as those who have been quickened together … Read More >

A Falling Away
“For that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first.” —2 Thessalonians 2:3 There are also four or five verses in the eighth chapter of Jeremiah that I want to use as a backbone of the things I wish to say to you. I want to show how we “lose out”; how we “fall away.” I want to talk very tenderly—as tenderly as I know how, by the power of the Holy Spirit, about the grave danger that is surrounding your life—the danger in the day in which we live of your losing the rich things of … Read More >

The Overflowing Life
(An address to Bible students, July 3, 1914, not corrected by the author). What is the best thing I could say to you supposing it were the only time I had in my life of addressing you? I think that probably I can help you that way best, although I am not quite sure you are all in that condition of mind to receive it, because naturally you are exercising the intellectual side of your nature, and it is rather difficult therefore to turn from the use of the intellect to the use of that subconscious—that subliminal self that the … Read More >

Pleasing God
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” —Hebrews 11:5–6 Let me say, before I attempt to speak to you on this subject, that I believe the man who lives so as to please God makes the very best possible out of his life, … Read More >
