"Weighed and Wanting: Addresses on the Ten Commandments" by Dwight Lyman Moody is a late 19th-century religious exploration of the Ten Commandments as essential moral guidelines shaping human behavior and connections with both God and other people. Moody's core message centers on the enduring importance of these commandments, prompting readers to honestly assess how well they follow these divine rules. The book begins with Moody highlighting the idea of God's judgment, referencing the story of King Belshazzar’s feast where the King’s disrespectful behavior leads to terrible consequences. Moody uses this to warn his audience about the dangers of disregarding God's laws. Through his writing, Moody encourages deep introspection and being prepared to be compared against God's standards, suggesting obedience to the Ten Commandments is key to spiritual well-being and redemption.
