Dwight Lyman Moody was born on February 5, 1837 in Northfield Massachussets. He was born into an Unitarian family of Edwin and Betsy Moody. Sadly, his father passed away when Moody was only 4, leaving his mother to raise the family on her own and by the occasional support of the Unitarian church. As a child, Moody was only able to "experience" baptism once when an Unitarian pastor offered to renew him. Even though his mother was apart of the church, she never persuaded him to read the Bible unless they
D. L. Moody the greatest evangelist of the nineteenth century is written by Faith Coxe Bailey. Dwight L. Moody lived in Connecticut River valley. The book starts him off at a young age of 16. He had a very pessimistic attitude about his life, how he worked all year long without a break, but this young man did not know what the Lord was holding for him in the future. God used Dwight in multiple ways. Dwight in the end, though very ill, still did what the Lord was telling him to do. Dwight hates his

Some view their Christian liberty as a license to sin. As Bible-believing Christians, we know this is absolutely not the case! Indeed, we are saved by grace, and not through our good works. But what happens when a Christian falls from the path, into his old ways? A Calvinist would say that a true believer cannot lose his salvation, while an Arminian would say that one can lose his salvation (Dunham 41).

Kushner’s writing of the New York Times bestseller, “When Bad Things Happen to Good People.” While the author’s definition of the word “good” may vary greatly from the truthful standard expressed in the Bible, the book’s popularity indicates that many people are perplexed, disappointed, and bitter because they believe that bad things happen to them undeservedly. Rather than being unfair, God’s Holy Word shows His sovereignty and provides the guidance required

and destroyed with the sword every living thing in it – men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys” (Joshua 6:21). This is one of the more difficult passages in the Bible. It raises many questions, questions that are not easily answered. In fact, scholars today still debate them. Reading this section of the Bible, found in Joshua chapter 6, you ask yourself: how can we worship a God who permits His own people to slaughter innocents? How did the Israelites justify breaking one of the Ten
NT2200-Week Four-Interview with a Pastor My interview with Minister Loggins began with the hierarchical structure of marriage and family, and he said, “The idea of a woman submitting to her husband can only be done by a believer.” His opinion is that submission is of the Lord and can only be properly done by someone who has submitted their life to Christ. He referred to Adam and Eve and the relationship they had before the fall. Adam was created first and Eve was formed from him and yet, they in

A very special man in my life once had told me, “ Enjoy your years of life while you can, just do it in a healthy way.” What he meant by this statement was go ahead and have fun but do it in a way that I am pleasing God and my parents. Don’t go out and party with the wrong crowd and make a pity fool out of myself. He has always told me that our society sets us young people up for failure in life. My father has always been a great mentor in my life, I have always been able to look up to him and know
