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

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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Excuses are the cradle ... that Satan rocks men off to sleep in.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I never yet have known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg so that it must be amputated, God will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life.
Dwight L. Moody

I cannot convert men I can only proclaim the Gospel
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
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
Life is very sweet to me, and there is no position of power or wealth that could tempt me from the throne God has given me.
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
The grand question of life is, Is my name written in heaven?
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it but joy flows right on through trouble joy flows in the night as well as in the day joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A great many people wonder why it was that Christ did not come at once to Martha and Mary, whom He loved, whenever He heard of their affliction. It was to try them, and it is the same with His dealings toward us. If He seems not to come to us in our affliction, it is only to test us.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Man is born with his face turned away from God. When he truly repents, he is turned right round toward God he leaves his old life.

Image
More depends on my walk than talk.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I like my way of doing things better than your way of not doing them.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I'm not tired of the work... I'm tired in the work.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man to be converted has to give up his will, his ways, and his thoughts.
Dwight L. Moody

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