Quote

Spread out your petition before God, and then say, Thy will, not mine, be done. The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me.

Right now I'm having so much trouble with D.L. Moody that I don't have time to find fault with the other fellow.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.

So few grow, because so few study.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.

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?

The work of the Spirit is to impart life, to implant hope, to give liberty, to testify of Christ, to guide us into all truth, to teach us all things, to comfort the believer, and to convict the world of sin.

Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it but joy flows right on through trouble joy flows in the night as well as in the day joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
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
If God has given you a message, go and give it to the people as God has given it to you. It is a stupid thing to try to be eloquent.

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
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.

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

Salvation is worth working for. It is worth a man's going round the world on his hands and knees, climbing its mountains, crossing its valleys, swimming its rivers, going through all manner of hardship in order to attain it. But we do not get it in that way. It is to him who believes.

Someone has said that there are four things necessary in studying the Bible: Admit, submit, commit and transmit.

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.

If God did not want us to understand the book of Revelation, He would not have given it to us at all.

Image
Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.

Real true faith is man's weakness leaning on God's strength.

Image
I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ's funeral sermons, but I couldn't find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn't exist where He was.

Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.
