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

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
By the grace of God, I'll be that man.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The tendency of the world is down - God's path is up.
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 have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do all we have to do is to enter into it.

Image
Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.

The best way to revive a church is to build a fire in the pulpit.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I hunted all through the four Gospels trying to find one of Christ's funeral sermons, but I couldn't find any. I found He broke up every funeral He ever attended! Death couldn't exist where He was.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Use me then, my Saviour for whatever purpose and whatever way thou mayest require. Here is my poor heart, and empty vessel fill it with Thy Grace.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man to be converted has to give up his will, his ways, and his thoughts.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I am glad there are things in the Bible I do not understand. If I could take that book up and read it as I would any other book, I might think I could write a book like that.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
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
Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God has two thrones, on in the highest heavens, the other in the lowliest heart.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If we do not love one another, we certainly shall not have much power with God in prayer.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.
