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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Christ came down to save us from a terrible hell, and any man who is cast down to hell from here must go in the full blaze of the gospel, and over the mangled body of the Son of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
Image
My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A good example is far better than a good precept.
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
Verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. My friend, that is worth more than all the feeling you can have in a life-time.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
He that overcometh shall inherit all things. God has no poor children.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If this world is going to be reached, I am convinced that it must be done by men and women of average talent.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I have come a hundred miles, said a minister, to get some of Mr. Moody's spirit. You don't want my spirit, was the reply. What you want is the Spirit of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The Son of God passed by the mansions and went down in a manger that He might sympathize with the lowly.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
'Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' (Rom. 10:17). That is whence faith comes. It is not for me to sit down and wait for faith to come stealing over me with a strong sensation, but is for me to take God at His Word.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.
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
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.

When a man thinks he has got a good deal of strength, and is self-confident, you may look for his downfall. It may be years before it comes to light, but it is already commenced.
