A LIGHT HEART On one occasion, after I had been talking this way, a woman came forward, and said, "Oh, Mr. Moody, it's all very well for you to talk like that, about a light heart. But you are a young man, and if you had a heavy burden like me you would talk differently. I could not talk in that way, my burden is too great." I replied, "But it's not too great for Jesus." "Oh," she said, "I cannot cast it on Him." "Why not? surely it is not too great for Him. It is not that He...

Hell 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 of God.  It is my duty to preach God's Word just as He gives it to me; I have no right to pick out a text here and there, and say, "I don't believe that." If I throw out one text I must throw out all, for in...

Tomorrow May Be Too Late"Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." Isa. 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 Saviour. "Ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart" (Jer. 29:13). Those who seek for Him with all their hearts, find Christ. I am tired and sick of half-heartedness. I don't like a half-hearted man. I...

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Dwight Lyman Moody's Last Sermon in London. Preached in Camberwell Hall, Sunday Evening, July 11th, 1875. 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 this world that is so important; and I think that there is not a man in this audience to-night who does not feel interested in it. I...

That hang-time religion Mixing Shaq and Meshach: The odd marriage of the Moody Bible Institute and the NBA By Mike Conklin Tribune staff reporter June 7, 2002 When Dwight L. Moody told his followers in 1886 that it was time to train men for missionary work -- a pronouncement that led to the founding of the Moody Bible Institute -- it seems safe to say that the preacher's vision didn't include the presence on his campus of the likes of rap-singing, slam-dunking Shaquille O'Neal and other current or future basketball superstars. Yet, unfolding again this week on Moody's Near North...
