Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.
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 we want is to be real. Let us not appear to be more than we are. Don't let us put on any cant, any assumed humility, but let us be real that is the delight of God. God wants us to be real men and women, and if we profess to be what we are not, God knows all about us. God hates sham.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.

There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit.

I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world - it would be as dust in the balance.
Dwight L. Moody

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.

I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.
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
God had no children too weak, but a great many too strong to make use of.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
Image
The grand question of life is, Is my name written in heaven?
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do all we have to do is to enter into it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We are not fountains ourselves but the Word of God is the true fountain.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.

No man can resolve himself into Heaven.

The Bible without the Holy Spirit is a sundial by moonlight.
