Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink.

I prayed for Faith, and thought that some day Faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But Faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, 'Now Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God'. I had closed my Bible, and prayed for Faith. I now opened my Bible, and began to study, and Faith has been growing ever since.

Heaven: The Place We Long For by Dwight L. Moody [REVIEW]

Heaven: The Place We Long For by Dwight L. Moody [REVIEW]

SYNOPSIS For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one that is coming. – Hebrews 13:14 Is heaven a reality to you, or does it still appear far off and uncertain? The goal of this book is to whet your appetite for heaven. A careful look at Scripture reveals that heaven is what every born-again believer is longing for. Our time on earth is only in a temporary dwelling place, and…

Un giovane, chiese a Dwight L. Moody, famoso evangelizzatore americano: "Per essere un vero cristiano devo rinunciare al mondo?" La risposta di Moody, fu tipica del suo carattere: "Figliuolo, se ti dedicherai interamente a una vita cristiana, presto sarà il mondo che rinuncerà a te".

Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

I firmly believe that the moment our hearts are emptied of pride and selfishness and ambition and self-seeking and every thing that is contrary to God's law, the Holy Ghost will come and fill every corner of our hearts; but if we are full of pride and conceit and ambition and self-seeking and pleasure and the world, there is no room for the Spirit of God; and I believe many a man is praying to God to fill him when he is full already with something else.

The IFB to severe eye injury pipeline is a straight line (TW: discussion of severe eye injury and genocide)

Dwight L. Moody started the Christian Fundamentalist movement by combining Capitalist ideology with traditional Christian evangelical rhetoric. His sermons are very famous in the fundie world and were responsible for the conversion of one Dexter Graves, my late Bible teacher and author of “Letters to a Dying Friend”- a right wing extremist memoir and book I can guarantee Donald Trump owns because Dexter never shut the fuck up about how Trump sent him a thank you letter for it.

Now, Dexter was also given to going on long tirades about how god wanted America to carpet bomb the Middle East to wipe out all the sinners and make the world safe for Israel. He would go into extremely graphic detail about how this would also free children from the sinful burden of being raised muslim.

For obvious reasons, this was upsetting for my class of 9-12 graders who just wanted to get a good grade in Bible and move on with our day so me and a couple other kids would regularly make comments about secular songs or movies we liked or dates with our partners so he would go on tirades about how we were dirty and sinful and stop talking about murdering kids- kinda fucked that our options were get bullied by a 70 year old man or hear about child murder but here we are.

It was during one such occurrence that he made the mistake of calling someone’s mother the w-slur and this led to the entire class turning on him. After they’d worked into a fiery frenzy about how we were all evil sinners and he alone knew the way of righteousness: he sneezed, hard. A full body sneeze. However, because he was so worked up his eyes didn’t close when he did so… and it fell out of his head. And we didn’t have to hear from him for six months.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

During uncertain and even fearful times like these, the safest place we can be is at the foot of the cross. 

The great evangelist, Dwight L. Moody, gave this wonderful illustration in a sermon in the 1800's. Mr. Moody stated the following: 

“Away out on the frontier of our country, out on the prairies, where men sometimes go to hunt or for other purposes, the grass in the dry seasons sometimes catches fire, and you will see the flames rolling over the western desert faster than any fleet (swift) horse can run. Now what do the men do? They know it is sure death unless they can make some escape. They would try to run away perhaps if they had fleet horses. But they can't, that fire goes faster than the fleetest horse can run. 

What do they do? Why, they just take a match and they light the grass from it, and away it burns, and then they get into that burnt district. The fire comes on, and there they stand perfectly secure—nothing to fear. Why? Because the fire has burned all there is to burn. Take your stand there on Mount Calvary.”
