Christ’s Commands in Action: Henry Moorhouse 

Oct 12, 2026

How can we truly love God with all our heart, soul, and mind? What changes when we not only know that God loves us, but genuinely believe and abide in His love?

In this episode, we consider the remarkable life of evangelist Henry Moorhouse through the lens of what the Lord Jesus said is the first and great commandment: “. . .Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.” (Matthew 22:37). Once caught in a life of rebellion, gambling, and sin, Moorhouse was pursued by the grace of God, transformed by Jesus Christ, and became a passionate preacher of the Gospel. Captivated by the truth of John 3:16, he proclaimed the love of God wherever he went and profoundly influenced D. L. Moody’s preaching and ministry. Moorhouse’s life reminds us that “We love him, because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19) As we spend time in God’s Word, believe His love for us, and draw near to Christ, may His love increasingly fill our hearts and overflow into a life of wholehearted devotion to Him and love for those around us.
