Attaining Higher Life – Dwight Lyman Moody

Colossians 3:1-4
If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.…


I have known men who have been up in balloons, and they have told me that when they want to rise higher they just throw out some of the sand with which they ballast the balloon. Now, I believe one reason why so many people are earthly-minded and have so little of the spirit of heaven, is that they have got too much ballast in the shape of love for earthly joys and gains; and what you want is to throw out some of the sand, and you will rise higher.

(D. L. Moody.)
