The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody

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

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.

When I was a young man I heard Henry Barley say that the world has yet to see what God can do for a man fully yielded to Him, and I said I wanted to be that man. But I can say today the world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully yielded to Him.

It is our privilege to know that we are saved.

The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long. Perhaps when you are dead and gone your prayer will be answered.
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.

Image
Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment trust in money and you may have it taken from you, but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity.

Character is what you are in the dark.

No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
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.

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.

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

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!
