Dwight L. Moody
Image
The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Some people come to me and say, Mr. Moody, don't you feel a great responsibility when you come before an audience like this - don't you feel a great weight upon your shoulders? Well. I say, no I cannot convert men I can only proclaim the Gospel.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The tendency of the world is down - God's path is up.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We have got nowadays so that we divide lies into white lies and black lies, society lies and business lies, etc. The Word of God knows no such letting-down of the standard.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Let us expect that God is going to use us. Let us have courage and go forward, looking to God to do great things.

A worker must win the hearts and affections of the people before he can do any effective work.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold? Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out anything.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
People, when asked if they are Christians, give some of the strangest answers you ever heard. Some will say if you ask them: Well - well - well, I, - I hope I am. Suppose a man should ask me if I am an American. Would I say: Well, I - well, I - I hope I am?
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I tell you there is one thing that draws above everything else in this world, and that is love.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
How many people would like to get up in a social prayer-meeting to say a few words for Christ, but there is such a cold spirit of criticism in the church that they dare not do it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Man is born with his face turned away from God. When he truly repents, he is turned right round toward God he leaves his old life.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If you do not feel a fervent love and profound pity for humanity, be assured that the gift of Christian eloquence has been denied you. You will not win souls, neither will you acquire that most excellent of earthly sovereignties - sovereignty over human hearts....Love is irresistible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Wouldn't it be well to give some of your bouquets before a man dies, and not go and load down his coffin? He can't enjoy them then.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
As a dead man cannot inherit an estate, no more can a dead soul inherit heaven. The soul must be resurrected in Christ.
