Pastor Lutzer only alluded to the Civil War initiating industrialization…Moody when newly into Chicago,Union soldiers were being mobilized in the fort there to go to fight. Moody started as a new believer going among fearful young men going to fight,then a year later,there came confederate prisoners into the same fort,where Moody didn't discriminate ,and led numerous of them into Christ s kingdom,some dying soon after. This I recently learned about, and was so encouraged how this became his own war ministry,that he learned much from,before the children s work. Thanks be to God. Bob76
A truly wonderful video, thank you so much Dr. Lutzer and Dr. Quiggle. I cried through the whole video, from seeing the yielded heart of Moody to Christ and his deep love for the children !
Amazing video! Thank you so much Erwin Luther. I have followed you for years and love Moody Church and the amazing, love given and presented to those who are desperate and in need of hope and healing. Praise God that the message of truth and salvation is out there to counter the lies and deception of Communism/Marxism.
We are in a very similar position now as the days of the Haymarket Riot. We have disenfranchised young people who don't feel like they can afford a home or family. We need to minister to young people and help them find ways through these times. First and foremost people need the Lord, but they also need practical strategies. What if people who own businesses were to take it on themselves to train young people for the positions they need for their businesses to prosper.
I grew up in a home where only my mother took my siblings and I to church (Catholic mass); while our "dad" slept off yet another hangover. The man is supposed to be the spiritual leader of his home, not at all what my dad was. He had a brilliant mind and in his "inner sanctum" i.e. a room that was his private space (library), there were books by Marx, Heigel, Nietzche, and others of that ilk. My dad was a political journalist w a penchant toward socialism He also had a side gig of writing speeches for candidates of his political persuasion. In retrospect, I'm persuaded that my dad was a Marxist at heart. There wasn't a Bible in our home; nothing unusual for Catholics. My dad died at 64, and I'm petty sure his pride and allegiance to the works of satan kept him from making a decision for Jesus. Yes, my dad might have been a brilliant man, but really a fool in the things that truly matter. The wounds of my past have been healed by the blessed assurance that God, the Great I Am is my one and only true Father. Today, I am a Bible believing evangelical Christian ever grateful for salvation by God's grace alone and not by my "earthly pedigree." Thank You, Jesus for giving me an identity in You alone.✝️👑🙏💜✝️
Great Documentary!! Like Moody, Karl Marx was asked why his message did not permeate as much as he wanted to, in London. The answer came from a letter of Karl Marx. Because of the Preacher Charles Spurgeon. Thanks again for your wonderful Documentary.!! A wonderful book to read about Spurgeon. Is "Steal Away Home" It is a Biopic Novel. Of Charles Spurgeon and Thomas Johnson. A Slave in America. With how they met.
Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Our young will learn the hard way about democratic socialism/communism. Although our founding christian fathers gave us a tool that other societies didn't have to fight it with. The second amendment. To make America communists , they will have to take away our arms. Better to die on your feet as free men, than live on your knees as slaves. I believe it was Thomas Payne who said," I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time. So my children may live in peace."

While I am not at all Calvinist, or, as MBI describes itself, “semi-Calvinist,” as D.L. Moody was, this documentary is intriguing to me as a student of Historical Theology. I grew up in the Chicago Metro Area, so I am well aware of MBI and Moody Broadcasting. I look forward to watching this documentary.
Karl Marx was a loser. His rich family disowned him because he was such an embarrassment. His mother begged him to embrace enough capitalism into his own life to get a job to feed his family. His wife and daughters were always sick, and malnourished and eventually committed suicide. BUT he would borrow money from his rich friends (Friedrich Engels who for the majority of his life, particularly from 1850 to 1869, he worked as a manager and partner at his family-owned cotton textile firm Ermen & Engels in Manchester, England) Marx would use the money for his daughters piano lessons rather than food for appearances sake while living in a bourgeois neighborhood. He even threw parties for the bourgeois to uphold a false pretense as if he was better than them. Yet, spoke against the bourgeois but wouldn't live within his means as proletariat. Total hypocrite.
What a wonderful presentation of 2 lives that changed the world. 1 for good and the other for bad. The Cinematography is absolutely beautiful! I thank God a Moody missionary shared the Gospel with me and I know where my destiny lies! I pray that I might be as courageous to share with others and do His will! Bravo!
This was fantastic. I never knew the details about Moody's life and the beginnings of his ministry. This contrast between Moody and Marx was invaluable, and powerful. Thank you Pastor Lutzer and to all who made this film come to fruition ✝️
This is amazing, as I sure expected it to be! Attending Moody Church while a Moody student was a privilege that I wish could have been longer while Dr. Lutzer was there 😊.
Such an honor to meet the director at the moody church screening today Wonderful work !!! I am the Chinese girl who grew up under CCP So this is very close to my heart ❤️
What a blessing to have discovered this video! My life was enriched and encouraged in my walk with Jesus through the Camp Northfield ministry during the late 1960’s and 1970’s. The camp was owned by the Baptists in New England through the General Association Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC). We had heard something that a famous evangelist D. L. Moody has stayed there long ago. The camp’s lodge was iconic in many ways, with its wide sweeping porches, rambling hallways and staircases, the widows peak at the very top and the fact that it was built entirely of wood and could burn down anytime! I think the Lodge still stands to this day in 2026. I also had the pleasure and privilege to meet and hear Dr. Edwin Lutzer in the summer of 2017 at the Word of Life Inn and conference center in Schroon Lake, upstate New York, where my dear parents enjoyed many years of fellowship and encouragement in the Lord Jesus, and the Inn, which unfortunately was sold off during the pandemic of 2020. A great loss for certain. God’s blessings come in many shapes, sizes, and forms. Having wonderful memories of what the Lord Jesus has done in the past is still an encouragement for what Jesus will do today and in the future! Maranatha! Come quickly Lord Jesus!
Wow, what a great video and such good history on Moody. He was quite the man. Thank you
Pastor Lutzer only alluded to the Civil War initiating industrialization…Moody when newly into Chicago,Union soldiers were being mobilized in the fort there to go to fight.
Moody started as a new believer going among fearful young men going to fight,then a year later,there came confederate prisoners into the same fort,where Moody didn't discriminate ,and led numerous of them into Christ s kingdom,some dying soon after.

You forgot to say Spurgeon as also a reason England didn’t become communist. They were in the same city with opposite teachings!

Thank you for sharing. : )
Communism socialism
Has a terrible track record of incompetence, corruption, and violence and death
Great Video
This is so well done! Praying that millions will watch it, and that the church will be moved to action.

This should be illegal… it s too good
Ruined by the fall
Redeemed by the blood
Regenerated by the spirit

Pastor Lutzer forgot to mention the 3rd “R” so I looked it up. Maybe this will help one of my brothers or sisters. God bless you and keep you!!

Thank you for this History lesson and I hope your Book is a Big Success to educate this fallen World.
so glad to find (or should I say algorithm found for me)
Beautifully Produced Documentary.

Thank you for this documentary it is so good, and I hope millions of people will see it, and learn from it. GBU
I don't think Marx cared a lick about Justice or helping anyone. He craved power, and became one of the greatest anti-Christs in history.
This is all the work of Satan Marx was a satanist and believe in global control
Jesus never Fails ❤
Moody was a dispensationalist who didn't believe in nation building. Doom and gloom was his theology.
Karl Marx was a loser. His rich family disowned him because he was such an embarrassment. His mother begged him to embrace enough capitalism into his own life to get a job to feed his family. His wife and daughters were always sick, and malnourished and eventually committed suicide. BUT he would borrow money from his rich friends (Friedrich Engels who for the majority of his life, particularly from 1850 to 1869, he worked as a manager and partner at his family-owned cotton textile firm Ermen & Engels in Manchester, England) Marx would use the money for his daughters piano lessons rather than food for appearances sake while living in a bourgeois neighborhood. He even threw parties for the bourgeois to uphold a false pretense as if he was better than them. Yet, spoke against the bourgeois but wouldn't live within his means as proletariat. Total hypocrite.
Brilliant 😊
There is no political solution to a spiritual problem
What a wonderful presentation of 2 lives that changed the world. 1 for good and the other for bad. The Cinematography is absolutely beautiful! I thank God a Moody missionary shared the Gospel with me and I know where my destiny lies! I pray that I might be as courageous to share with others and do His will! Bravo!
This book is very important for Believers to understand in our day. Thank you, Dr Lutzer! 🙏🙏🙏
What an encouragement
Very interesting. This should be taught in high schools. Thank you so much!
This was fantastic. I never knew the details about Moody's life and the beginnings of his ministry.
This contrast between Moody and Marx was invaluable, and powerful. Thank you Pastor Lutzer and to all who made this film come to fruition ✝️
There are two major opposing world views. The Communist World View and the Judeo-Christian World View.
This is amazing, as I sure expected it to be! Attending Moody Church while a Moody student was a privilege that I wish could have been longer while Dr. Lutzer was there 😊.
Such an honor to meet the director at the moody church screening today
Wonderful work !!!
I am the Chinese girl who grew up under CCP
So this is very close to my heart ❤️
