We may sing our hymns and psalms, and offer prayers, but they will be an abomination to God, unless we are willing to be thoroughly straightforward in our daily life.

After we have made our requests known to Him, our language should be, Thy will be done. I would a thousand times rather that Gods' will should be done than my own.

Image
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!
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
'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.

There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit.

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.

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.

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
When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody

Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.

God has two thrones, on in the highest heavens, the other in the lowliest heart.

I look upon this world as a wrecked vessel. God has given me a lifeboat and said, 'Moody, save all you can.

So few grow, because so few study.

Image
What we want is to be real. Let us not appear to be more than we are. Don't let us put on any cant, any assumed humility, but let us be real that is the delight of God. God wants us to be real men and women, and if we profess to be what we are not, God knows all about us. God hates sham.

A good example is far better than a good precept.
