These films were originated by Dr. Irwin Moon. His father, a very godly man, gave him some instruc tion when Irwin went into the min istry. I will never forget his advice: he said, "Son, as you begin your min istry there is a verse of Scripture I want you always to take with you." Now you might wonder what verse of the Bible a godly father would give his son to begin his lifetime of ministry. He said, "Son, I want you to take I John 1:9, " 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous ness'." Isn't that a great truth?

Has that gripped your soul? Perhaps you have seen one of the "Sermon from Science" films, produced by Moody Bible Institute.
