Quote

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.

Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Happiness is caused by things that happen around me, and circumstances will mar it but joy flows right on through trouble joy flows in the night as well as in the day joy flows through persecution and opposition. It is an unceasing fountain bubbling up in the heart a secret spring the world can't see and doesn't know anything about.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
So few grow, because so few study.
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
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
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
If we have got the true love of God shed abroad in our hearts, we will show it in our lives. We will not have to go up and down the earth proclaiming it. We will show it in everything we say or do.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
It is not the man that can preach the best that is the most successful, but the man who knows how to get his people together to pray.
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.

Take courage. We walk in the wilderness today and in the Promised Land tomorrow
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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
The Gospel of John opens with Jesus Christ in the bosom of God, and closes with the sinner in the bosom of Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
We talk about heaven being so far away. It is within speaking distance to those who belong there. Heaven is a prepared place for a prepared people.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I now opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Some men’s prayers need to be cut short at both ends and set on fire in the middle.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A good example is far better than a good precept.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Verily I say unto you, he that heareth my word and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life. My friend, that is worth more than all the feeling you can have in a life-time.

I cannot convert men I can only proclaim the Gospel

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
