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
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
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.

Image
So few grow, because so few study.

Image
I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.
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.

Someone has said that there are four things necessary in studying the Bible: Admit, submit, commit and transmit.
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
We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
True will-power and courage are not on the battlefield, but in everyday conquests over our intertia, laziness, boredom.
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
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
Image
I am walking toward a bright light and the nearer I get the brighter it is.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns they only shine.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
Dwight L. Moody

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.
