Quote

Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world but if the world gets into them, they sink.

Dwight L. Moody

Wouldn't it be well to give some of your bouquets before a man dies, and not go and load down his coffin? He can't enjoy them then.
Dwight L. Moody

I'd rather get ten men to do the job than to do the job of ten men.

When I was a young man I heard Henry Barley say that the world has yet to see what God can do for a man fully yielded to Him, and I said I wanted to be that man. But I can say today the world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully yielded to Him.

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.

The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody

No man ever sought Christ with a heart to find Him who did not find Him.
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.
Dwight L. Moody

I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.
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
True will-power and courage are not on the battlefield, but in everyday conquests over our intertia, laziness, boredom.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.

Joy is love exalted peace is love in response long-suffering is love enduring gentleness is love in society goodness is love in action faith is love on the battlefield meekness is love in tough situations and temperance is love in training.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We are not fountains ourselves but the Word of God is the true fountain.

Give me a man who says this one thing I do, and not those fifty things I dabble in.

When God gave Christ to this world, He gave the best He had, and He wants us to do the same.
