Humility is the only response we should have towards a God who has given everything for our sake.

James 4:17

This Day's Smile

J. Hudson Taylor, visiting D. L. Moody in Chicago, was invited to preach at Moody’s church.  At end of service Moody announced they were going to take an offering and Hudson Taylor, who was the guest speaker, came onstage and said. “No, we have a non-solicitation policy.”  Moody thought he was crazy.  Lo and behold the next day a man brings Taylor a check for $5000 and tells him, “If I gave yesterday at church I would have only given you $5.”  We live in a world where we are probably overly dependent on our human efforts to do God’s work, whereas we are called to a simple faith.

If you neglect your love to your neighbor, in vain you profess your love to God; for by your love to God, the love to your neighbor is begotten, and by the love to your neighbor, your love to God is nourished.

This Day's Reprise

One day a lady criticized D. L. Moody for his methods of evangelism in attempting to win people to the Lord.  Moody’s reply was “I agree with you.  I don’t like the way I do it either.  Tell me, how do you do it?”  The lady replied, “I don’t do it.”  Moody retorted, “Then I like my way of doing it better than your way of not doing it.”

D. L. Moody
