No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
He that overcometh shall inherit all things. God has no poor children.
Dwight L. Moody

Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
When God wants to move a mountain, he does not take a bar of iron, but he takes a little worm. The fact is, we have too much strength. We are not weak enough. It is not our strength that we want. One drop of God's strength is worth more than all the world.
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.

Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.
Dwight L. Moody

Earth recedes....Heav en opens before me.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Wouldn't it be well to give some of your bouquets before a man dies, and not go and load down his coffin? He can't enjoy them then.
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
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

Whatever you love more than God is your idol.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Life is very sweet to me, and there is no position of power or wealth that could tempt me from the throne God has given me.
Dwight L. Moody

How many people would like to get up in a social prayer-meeting to say a few words for Christ, but there is such a cold spirit of criticism in the church that they dare not do it.
