REST – Volume 2
Why God Used D.L. Moody, Why God Used D.L. Moody by Torrey Moody Power, Why God Used D.L. Moody book, Cover: Soft-touch - 50 pages Introduction D.L. Moody was a man mightily used by God. The Lord enabled Moody to preach the gospel to millions of people across the globe. It is evident that God placed His hand of blessing upon Moody, but why? R.A. Torrey served alongside Moody for many years and was the most qualified to write on this topic. In this classic work, Torrey lays out seven reasons God used D.L. Moody. We desire that God will use this book to raise up an army of young men and women who will experience the power of God upon their lives. God's power rested on Moody only as he yielded to the Source of all power and blessing - the LORD. Table of Contents Dedication Prologue: Why God Used D. L. Moody 1. A Fully Surrendered Man 2. A Man of Prayer 3. A Deep and Practical Student of The Bible 4. A Humble Man 5. A Man Free From the Love of Money 6. A Man with A Consuming Passion for the Salvation of the Lost 7. A Man Definitely Endued With Power From on High.

Staying and Leaving

By Scott Pauley | April 13, 2026

Staying and Leaving: Following God’s Leading in Hard Times A friend and I were enjoying a time of fellowship together some time ago. During the conversation, I asked about a man who had been a pastor in the town where I was visiting. The answer was all too familiar — he was no longer in the ministry but doing very well in business. And then my friend said something I cannot forget: “The last time I heard from him, he…

Journey Through 2 Timothy

By Scott Pauley | April 10, 2026

Journey Through 2 Timothy God is so very good to give us faithful ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am a minister, but let me testify as a Christian and as a church member. I am so grateful for the faithful pastors whom I have been under. People who have loved the Lord, loved me, and taught me the truth. And I want to reiterate, as we are studying through the pastoral epistles right now, that you ought…

Journey Through 1 Timothy

By Scott Pauley | April 6, 2026

Journey Through 1 Timothy I had the privilege of growing up in a pastor’s home. Not only that, but I also served under the same pastor for nearly two decades of my life. Now, every week of my life, I am with different pastors. I love preachers. If you have a faithful pastor, you ought to thank God for him! A shepherd who feeds you the Word of God and points you to the chief Shepherd makes a huge difference.…

Thoughts for a Dynamic Devotional Life

By Scott Pauley | April 3, 2026

Thoughts for a Dynamic Devotional Life Every generation requires true men of God who carry on the work of the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit. An entry in the journal of Henry Martyn reads, “Let me be taught that the first great business on earth is the sanctification of my own soul.” George Müller said, “The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was to have my soul happy in the Lord.” Our Greatest Need…

Journey through Philippians

By Scott Pauley | April 2, 2026

Journey Through Philippians Do you have a favorite book of the Bible? On our journey, we come to my favorite today. The Enjoying the Journey broadcast began with a study of Philippians. We have spent a lot of time in it. Let us begin our journey through Philippians. Listen: Journeying through Philippians Overview of Philippians Philippians only has 104 verses, and is much more practical than some of the other books. Philippians is also deeply personal. It is one of…

Journey through Obadiah

By Scott Pauley | March 24, 2026

Journey Through Obadiah Many years ago, I was traveling in Jordan, and we were training preachers of the Word of God. It was an amazing time. Before I left the country, the Jordanian pastor who was hosting me said, “I want to show you a few of the sights.” So, he took my father and me one afternoon, and we had an amazing time. He took us to a famous place known as Petra. I had heard of Petra, of…

10 Recommendations for Local Church Youth Ministries

By Scott Pauley | March 23, 2026

10 Recommendations for Local Church Youth Ministries In many seasons of my life, I have had the joy of being involved in youth ministry in some way. It is the passion of my life to point another generation to the Lord Jesus and His truth. I am more convinced than I have ever been that this is a critical ministry of the local church. It is not just the work of youth pastors and “professionals.” It is the mission of…

Journey Through Galatians

By Scott Pauley | March 19, 2026

Journey Through Galatians 2 Timothy 3:16 says that God’s Word is “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” We are looking at the Epistle to the Galatians, but I bring up this verse because there is a beautiful order found in it. It is actually the order of the epistles found in our New Testament: doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction. We began our journey through the epistles with Romans in Paul’s letters, and Romans was basically…

Journey through Hosea

By Scott Pauley | March 17, 2026

Journey Through Hosea There is no trouble like family trouble. When families have problems, it is one of the hardest earthly things to deal with. The book we have come to in our series is the Old Testament book of family trouble. It is the book of Hosea. Listen: Journeying through Hosea Overview of Hosea Hosea is the first of the Minor Prophets. They are not minor in message; they are only minor in size. There are twelve of them,…

Connecting Your Gifts to the Gospel

By Scott Pauley | March 14, 2026

Editor’s Note: This article is a modified transcript of a recent message by Scott Pauley. Connecting Your Gifts to the Gospel The most important thing a person can learn is why God made them. Why are you breathing? Why are you at this moment still living on this planet? The answers are found in 1 Peter 4:10. This verse reveals three principles for connecting your gifts to the gospel. We will hang each of these principles on three words, like…

My Advice for Ministry Staff Members

By Scott Pauley | March 11, 2026

Over the last few years, I have had the privilege of spending time with a number of church staff members in the places where I have been preaching. This is always a great joy for me. More than eighteen years of my life and ministry were spent as a staff member. Tammy and I were privileged to serve under Pastor and Mrs. Clarence Sexton for many years. Every day, I thank God for the lessons I learned working under a…

Journey Through Daniel

By Scott Pauley | March 10, 2026

Journey Through Daniel Our journey through Scripture takes us to the final book of the major prophets. It is interesting because it is a very brief book. We will journey through Daniel. Of the five major prophets, Daniel is probably the book with which you are the most familiar. For example, you know the story of Daniel in the lion’s den, where Daniel was punished for defying the king’s law and praying. You know the story of the Hebrew boys…

Journey through Zechariah

By Scott Pauley | March 6, 2026

Journey Through Zechariah The Minor Prophets, for the most part, are fairly brief. That is why they are referred to as Minor Prophets. And yet, the prophet we come to today is the longest of the Minor Prophets. His name is Zechariah. His name actually means the one Jehovah remembers. Aren’t you glad God has promised never to forget you? He remembers you today. I hope you will remember him. Let us journey through Zechariah and learn what God has…

Make Every Day Count

By Scott Pauley | March 5, 2026

Our Lives are a Vapor Winter can be a strange time in Beckley, West Virginia. Snow one hour…sunshine the next. One recent morning, I awoke to see a thick, freezing fog. The Lord reminded me of one of the most powerful verses in Scripture, a reminder to make every day count: “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away”…

Journey Through Habakkuk

By Scott Pauley | March 4, 2026

Journey Through Habakkuk Every generation is different, yet the need of every generation is the same. Every generation needs a spiritual revival in their generation. I hope your heart today is hungry to see a great spiritual awakening in your own life and your family, in your church, and in our world. Because that is the desperate need of this hour. And it was the desperate need, in Habakkuk’s hour as well. We will discover this need as we journey…

One at a Time

By Scott Pauley | March 3, 2026

One at a Time Through the years, I have met many interesting people on airplanes. Everyone has a story, and a simple conversation with a stranger can be memorable. I have tried to pray as I board a flight that God would put me next to the person He wants me to get acquainted with. Often, it has allowed me to minister in some way. One week God put someone next to me to minister to me. Across the aisle…

Journey Through Malachi

By Scott Pauley | March 2, 2026

Journey Through Malachi Our journey through Scripture has brought us to the last stop in the Old Testament. We have come to the final Old Testament book, the prophet Malachi. This was a man who was chosen by God at the end of the Old Testament era to give God’s final great message before the 400 silent years. His name means Jehovah’s Messenger. The word messenger is actually used three times in this book, and he was just that. He…

Journey through Nahum

By Scott Pauley | February 26, 2026

 Journey Through Nahum Two books of the Bible deal with Nineveh. The first is famous: The Book of Jonah. Two books later, a second prophet deals with the same city and the very same sins. The record is found in the little book of Nahum. Let us journey through Nahum, discover what was happening in Nineveh, and the eternal truths God is teaching through this book. Listen: Journeying through Nahum Overview of Nahum Nahum was from Judah. His name is…

Learning from the Ultimate Traveler

By Scott Pauley | February 23, 2026

Learning from the Ultimate Traveler As many of you know, we spend a good deal of time on the road. Another frequent traveler, the Apostle Paul, once wrote, “all things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). Traveling is a privilege and an opportunity to grow. F.B. Meyer observed that everything is God’s classroom and serves to teach me something. I learn something on every journey and, with Christ, it is the adventure of a lifetime. Truths about Travel that God is Teaching…

Announcing the Legacy Archives

By Scott Pauley | February 18, 2026

At Enjoying the Journey, we are truly thankful for the rich heritage of Bible teaching and preaching that has been passed down to us. Christians must believe, apply, and minister the Word of God in the present day, but that is best done with an appreciation for those who stood for truth in previous generations. God’s people have been handed a rich heritage that must not be forgotten. Isaiah 54:17 speaks of “the heritage of the servants of the LORD.”…

Journey Through Ezekiel

By Scott Pauley | February 15, 2026

Journey Through Ezekiel How much do you know about the Book of Ezekiel? That is one of the books of the Bible, and it is probably in the part of your Old Testament where the pages still stick together. When you even mention the name Ezekiel, people get a little scared because they think, “I am not that familiar with that book.” If they are familiar with it, they often think, “Well, Ezekiel is that really hard book that has…

The Power of Story

By Scott Pauley | February 13, 2026

Everyone Loves A Good Story Communicators in every field have come to understand the significance of stories. During one of my busy travel days, I sat down on an American Airlines flight and picked up a copy of their monthly magazine. The editor’s comments were shown under the title: “The Power of Story.” Everybody loves a good story. Some preachers and teachers are known as storytellers. This should never be our goal. Our mission is to be truth-tellers. However, learning…

Journey Through Lamentations

By Scott Pauley | February 10, 2026

Journey Through Lamentations The old radio commentator, Paul Harvey, could tell a story like no one could tell a story. And then, right in the middle of it, he would say, “And now for the rest of the story.” The book we have come to on our journey today is just that: it is the rest of the story. Our previous journey was through Jeremiah, and now it is time to journey through Lamentations. Listen: Journeying through Lamentations Overview of…

7 Suggestions for Dealing with the Winter “Blues”

By Scott Pauley | February 6, 2026

Winter brings with it the beauty of fresh falling snow…and sometimes the drudgery of shorter days and cold nights. As a child, I loved winter and the snow days that inevitably accompanied that season. I still love winter and thrill at the sight of a good snow, but the thrill seems to wear off faster now than the snow melts! Yesterday, my dad brought his tractor by the house to help remove from our driveway the last vestiges of recent…

Journey Through Song of Solomon

By Scott Pauley | February 4, 2026

Journey Through Song of Solomon The Bible is the greatest love story on earth. There is no love story like the story of God’s love for us. In the Bible, one book stands out above all others as a book primarily about love: the Song of Solomon. We discover much about God and His love for us as we journey through Song of Solomon.  Listen: Journeying through Song of Solomon Overview of Song of Solomon You will remember that Solomon…
