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.

Whitewashing the pump won't make the water pure.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I look upon this world as a wrecked vessel. God has given me a lifeboat and said, 'Moody, save all you can.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
When a man thinks he has got a good deal of strength, and is self-confident, you may look for his downfall. It may be years before it comes to light, but it is already commenced.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Trust in yourself and you are doomed to disappointment trust in money and you may have it taken from you, but trust in God, and you are never to be confounded in time or eternity.
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
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.

Earth recedes....Heav en opens before me.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I tell you there is one thing that draws above everything else in this world, and that is love.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There is no harder lesson for man to learn than the lesson of humility. It is the rarest of all gifts. It is a very rare thing to find a man or woman that is following closely the footsteps of the Master in meekness and humility.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The first thing a man must do if he desires to be used in the Lord's work, is to make an unconditional surrender of himself to God.
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
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.
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.

How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges
