More quotes by Dwight L. Moody
The Gospel of John opens with Jesus Christ in the bosom of God, and closes with the sinner in the bosom of Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Seeking to perpetuate one's name on earth is like writing on the sand by the seashore to be perpetual it must be written on eternal shores.
Dwight L. Moody
I believe the religion of Christ covers the whole man. Why shouldn't a man play baseball or lawn-tennis? ... Don't imagine that you have got to go into a cave to be consecrated, and stay there all your life. Whatever you take up, take it up with all your heart.
Dwight L. Moody
Excuses are the cradle ... that Satan rocks men off to sleep in.
Dwight L. Moody
A good many preachers say I am lowering the pulpit. I am glad I am. I am trying to get it down to the level of men's hearts. If I wanted to hit Chicago I would not put the cannon on the top of this building and fire into the air. Too many preachers fire into the air.
Dwight L. Moody
In Proverbs we read: 'He that winneth souls is wise.' If any man, women, or child by a godly life and example can win one soul to God, his life will not have been a failure. He will have outshone all the mighty men of his day, because he will have set a stream in motion that will flow on and on forever and ever.
Dwight L. Moody
As I go into a cemetery I like to think of the time when the dead shall rise from their graves. ... Thank God, our friends are not buried they are only sown!
Dwight L. Moody
God stands in no need of our strength or wisdom, but of our ignorance, of our weakness let us but give these to Him, and He can make use of us in winning souls.
Dwight L. Moody
I now opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since.
Dwight L. Moody
I am glad there are things in the Bible I do not understand. If I could take that book up and read it as I would any other book, I might think I could write a book like that.
Dwight L. Moody
He is the Rock, His work is perfect: For all His ways are judgment: A God of truth and without iniquity, Just and right is He.
Dwight L. Moody
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
If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.
Dwight L. Moody
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody forty years learning he was nobody and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.
Dwight L. Moody
Lust is the devil's counterfeit for love. There is nothing more beautiful on earth than a pure love and there is nothing so blighting as lust.
Dwight L. Moody
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
Dwight L. Moody
After we have made our requests known to Him, our language should be, Thy will be done. I would a thousand times rather that Gods' will should be done than my own.
Dwight L. Moody
Unless the Spirit of God is with us, we cannot expect that our prayers will be answered.
Dwight L. Moody
A man to be converted has to give up his will, his ways, and his thoughts.
Dwight L. Moody
