Quote

Seeking to perpetuate one's name on earth is like writing on the sand by the seashore to be perpetual it must be written on eternal shores.

There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God? Has God ever broken one of His promises? I defy any infidel or unbeliever to place a finger on a single promise of God ever made and failed to fulfill.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God never made a promise that was too good to be true.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
People, when asked if they are Christians, give some of the strangest answers you ever heard. Some will say if you ask them: Well - well - well, I, - I hope I am. Suppose a man should ask me if I am an American. Would I say: Well, I - well, I - I hope I am?
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
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
Faith gives us living joy and dying rest.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.
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
The preaching that this world needs most is the sermons in shoes that are walking with Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Christ came down to save us from a terrible hell, and any man who is cast down to hell from here must go in the full blaze of the gospel, and over the mangled body of the Son of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
As I go into a cemetery I like to think of the time when the dead shall rise from their graves. ... Thank God, our friends are not buried they are only sown!
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A good many preachers say I am lowering the pulpit. I am glad I am. I am trying to get it down to the level of men's hearts. If I wanted to hit Chicago I would not put the cannon on the top of this building and fire into the air. Too many preachers fire into the air.

We are not fountains ourselves but the Word of God is the true fountain.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.
Dwight L. Moody
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Out of 100 men, one will read the Bible, the other 99 will read the Christian.
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
'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.

Whitewashing the pump won't make the water pure.
