Quote

My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin.

God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world - it would be as dust in the balance.

Character is what you are in the dark.
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 know I have a first-rate mind, but that`s no source of pride to me. Intelligent people are a dime a dozen. But I am proud of having character.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
When I first became a Christian I thought I would be glad when I got farther on, and got established. I thought I would be so strong and there would not be any danger but the longer I live, the more danger I see there is. The only hope of any Christian...is to keep hold of Christ.

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 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
Image
A worker must win the hearts and affections of the people before he can do any effective work.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.
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
Moses spent forty years in the king's palace thinking that he was somebody then he lived forty years in the wilderness finding out that without GOD he was a nobody finally he spent forty more years discovering how a nobody with GOD can be a somebody.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.

Image
Some people come to me and say, Mr. Moody, don't you feel a great responsibility when you come before an audience like this - don't you feel a great weight upon your shoulders? Well. I say, no I cannot convert men I can only proclaim the Gospel.
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
Image
I am walking toward a bright light and the nearer I get the brighter it is.

It is the greatest pleasure of living to win souls to Christ.
