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.

'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.

Unless the Spirit of God is with us, we cannot expect that our prayers will be answered.
Dwight L. Moody
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.

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.

To be tempted is not to sin. The strongest attacks are made on the strongest forts.

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.

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.

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.

Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.

If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.

His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.

It is a favorite thing with infidels to set their own standard, to measure themsleves by other people. But that will not do in the Day of Judgment. Now we will use God's law as a balance weight.

I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things. God has no poor children.

No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.

I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns they only shine.

So few grow, because so few study.

Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment trust in money and you may have it taken from you, but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity.

I am walking toward a bright light and the nearer I get the brighter it is.
