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.

I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God has cast our confessed sins into the depths of the sea, and He's even put a 'No Fishing' sign over the spot.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Spread out your petition before God, and then say, Thy will, not mine, be done. The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
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
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.
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God never made a promise that was too good to be true.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The Scriptures were not given to increase our knowledge, but to change our lives.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Earth recedes, Heaven opens before me. If this is death, it is sweet! There is no valley here. God is calling me, and I must go.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If God did not want us to understand the book of Revelation, He would not have given it to us at all.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There is no greater honour than to be the instrument in God's hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I'm not tired of the work... I'm tired in the work.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Right now I'm having so much trouble with D.L. Moody that I don't have time to find fault with the other fellow.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We may easily be too big for God to use, but never too small.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.

The best work usually meets the strongest opposition.
