Quote

I believe the religion of Christ covers the whole man. Why shouldn't a man play baseball or lawn-tennis? ... Don't imagine that you have got to go into a cave to be consecrated, and stay there all your life. Whatever you take up, take it up with all your heart.

Dwight L. Moody

Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.

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
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.

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.

There is no better evangelist in the world than the Holy Spirit.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If God has given you a message, go and give it to the people as God has given it to you. It is a stupid thing to try to be eloquent.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Lust is the devil's counterfeit for love. There is nothing more beautiful on earth than a pure love and there is nothing so blighting as lust.

Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody forty years learning he was nobody and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.
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.
