Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
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
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The grand question of life is, Is my name written in heaven?
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.

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it

When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.
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
A good example is far better than a good precept.
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
Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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?
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The tendency of the world is down - God's path is up.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I believe this is a mistake a great many of us are making we are trying to do God's work with the grace God gave us ten years ago. We say, if it is necessary, we will go on with the same grace. Now, what we want is a fresh supply, a fresh anointing and fresh power, and if we seek it, and seek it with all our hearts, we will obtain it.

It is better to be a little too strict than too liberal.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There is no harder lesson for man to learn than the lesson of humility. It is the rarest of all gifts. It is a very rare thing to find a man or woman that is following closely the footsteps of the Master in meekness and humility.
