Image
When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I believe this is a mistake a great many of us are making we are trying to do God's work with the grace God gave us ten years ago. We say, if it is necessary, we will go on with the same grace. Now, what we want is a fresh supply, a fresh anointing and fresh power, and if we seek it, and seek it with all our hearts, we will obtain it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We may not be able to do any great thing but if each of us will do something, however small it may be, a good deal will be accomplised for God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I know I have a first-rate mind, but that`s no source of pride to me. Intelligent people are a dime a dozen. But I am proud of having character.
Dwight L. Moody

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

Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.
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
If God tells us to do a thing we are to do it if He tells us to believe a thing, we are to believe it we are to have faith in God. Have faith in God, and if God tells you to believe a thing believe it, and then you will have peace and confidence and joy.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Either these - unsaved people are to be evangelized, or the leaven of communism and infidelity will assume such enormous proportions that it will break you in a reign of terror such as this country has never known.
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
We may sing our hymns and psalms, and offer prayers, but they will be an abomination to God, unless we are willing to be thoroughly straightforward in our daily life.
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.
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
The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A great many people wonder why it was that Christ did not come at once to Martha and Mary, whom He loved, whenever He heard of their affliction. It was to try them, and it is the same with His dealings toward us. If He seems not to come to us in our affliction, it is only to test us.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
No man can resolve himself into Heaven.
Dwight L. Moody

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
