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.

A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns they only shine.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold? Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out anything.
Dwight L. Moody

Real true faith is man's weakness leaning on God's strength.
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.

If you pray for bread and bring no basket to carry it, you prove the doubting spirit, which may be the only hindrance to the boon you ask.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I believe this is a mistake a great many of us are making we are trying to do God's work with the grace God gave us ten years ago. We say, if it is necessary, we will go on with the same grace. Now, what we want is a fresh supply, a fresh anointing and fresh power, and if we seek it, and seek it with all our hearts, we will obtain 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.

Image
I have come a hundred miles, said a minister, to get some of Mr. Moody's spirit. You don't want my spirit, was the reply. What you want is the Spirit of God.

In Proverbs we read: 'He that winneth souls is wise.' If any man, women, or child by a godly life and example can win one soul to God, his life will not have been a failure. He will have outshone all the mighty men of his day, because he will have set a stream in motion that will flow on and on forever and ever.
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.

As a dead man cannot inherit an estate, no more can a dead soul inherit heaven. The soul must be resurrected in Christ.

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 like my way of doing things better than your way of not doing them.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If you do not feel a fervent love and profound pity for humanity, be assured that the gift of Christian eloquence has been denied you. You will not win souls, neither will you acquire that most excellent of earthly sovereignties - sovereignty over human hearts....Love is irresistible.

So few grow, because so few study.

My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
He is the Rock, His work is perfect: For all His ways are judgment: A God of truth and without iniquity, Just and right is He.

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