More From Dwight L. Moody

No Matter How Low Down You Are; No Matter What Your Disposition Has Been; You May Be Low In Your Thoughts, Words, And Actions; You May Be Selfish; Your Heart May Be Overflowing With Corruption And Wickedness; Yet Jesus Will Have Compassion Upon You. He Will Speak Comforting Words To You; Not Treat You Coldly Or Spurn You, As Perhaps Those Of Earth Would, But Will Speak Tender Words, And Words Of Love And Affection And Kindness. Just Come At Once. He Is A Faithful Friend - A Friend That Sticketh Closer Than A Brother.

No One Can Sum Up All God Is Able To Accomplish Through One Solitary Life, Wholly Yielded, Adjusted, And Obedient To Him.

When We Find A Man Meditating On The Words Of God, My Friends, That Man Is Full Of Boldness And Is Successful.

I Never Yet Have Known The Spirit Of God To Work Where The Lord's People Were Divided.

I Find That Many Christians Are In Trouble About The Future; They Think They Will Not Have Grace Enough To Die By. It Is Much More Important That We Should Have Grace Enough To Live By. It Seems To Me That Death Is Of Very Little Importance In The Meantime. When The Dying Hour Comes, There Will Be Dying Grace; But You Do Not Require Dying Grace To Live By.

Grace Means Undeserved Kindness. It Is The Gift Of God To Man The Moment He Sees He Is Unworthy Of God's Favor.

I Have Had More Trouble With Myself Than With Any Other Man I Have Ever Met.

My Friends, If We Are Going To Do A Great Work For God, We Must Spend Much Time In Prayer; We Have Got To Be Closeted With God.

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.

If A Man Gets Drunk And Goes Out And Breaks His Leg So That It Must Be Amputated, God Will Forgive Him If He Asks It, But He Will Have To Hop Around On One Leg All His Life.

My Heart Goes Out To You, And I Long To See You All Coming Constantly To God For A Fresh Supply Of Love.

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.

The Work Of The Spirit Is To Impart Life, To Implant Hope, To Give Liberty, To Testify Of Christ, To Guide Us Into All Truth, To Teach Us All Things, To Comfort The Believer, And To Convict The World Of Sin.

It Is The Only Happy Life To Live For The Salvation Of Souls.

I Thank God That The Gospel Is To Be Preached To Every Creature. There Is No Man So Far Gone, But The Grace Of God Can Reach Him; No Man So Desperate Or Black, But He Can Forgive Him.

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.

Some Day You Will Read In The Papers That D.l. Moody Of East Northfield, Is Dead. Don't You Believe A Word Of It!

There Cannot Be Any Peace Where There Is Uncertainty.

It Is A Wonderful Fact That Men And Women Saved By The Blood Of Jesus Rarely Remain Subjects Of Charity, But Rise At Once To Comfort And Respectability... I Never Saw A Man Who Put Christ First In His Life That Wasn't Successful.

We Are Not Fountains Ourselves; But The Word Of God Is The True Fountain.

What We Want Is Men With A Little Courage To Stand Up For Christ. When Christianity Wakes Up, And Every Child That Belongs To The Lord Is Willing To Speak For Him, Is Willing To Work For Him, And, If Need Be, Willing To Die For Him, Then Christianity Will Advance, And We Shall See The Work Of The Lord Prosper.

Never Think That Jesus Commanded A Trifle, Nor Dare To Trifle With Anything He Has Commanded.

Remember, A Small Light Will Do A Great Deal When It Is In A Very Dark Place. Put One Little Tallow In The Middle Of A Large Hall, And It Will Give A Good Deal Of Light.

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.

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.

It Is A Masterpiece Of The Devil To Make Us Believe That Children Cannot Understand Religion. Would Christ Have Made A Child The Standard Of Faith If He Had Known That It Was Not Capable Of Understanding His Words?

God Has Two Thrones, On In The Highest Heavens, The Other In The Lowliest Heart.

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.

Every One Ought To Study The Bible With Two Ends In View: His Own Growth In Knowledge And Grace, And Passing It On To Others. We Ought To Have Four Ears,- Two For Ourselves, And Two For Other People.

There Is No True Prayer Without Confession. As Long As We Have Unconfessed Sin In Our Soul, We Are Not Going To Have Power With God In Prayer. He Says If We Regard Iniquity In Our Hearts, He Will Not Hear Us, Much Less Answer. As Long As We Are Living In Any Known Sin, We Have No Power In Prayer. God Is Not Going To Hear It.

How Easy It Is To Work For God When We Are Filled With His Spirit! His Service Is So Sweet, So Delightful; He Is Not A Hard Master. People Talk About Their Being Overworked And Breaking Down. It Is Not So. It Is [over-worry] And Care That Wears People Out. Why Do So Many Workers Break Down? Not From Overwork, But Because There Has Been Friction Of The Machinery; There Hasn't Been Enough Of The Oil Of The Spirit. Great Engines Have Their Machinery So Arranged That Where There Is Friction There Is Oil Dropping On It All The Time. It Is A Good Thing For Christians To Have Plenty Of Oil.

A Worker Must Win The Hearts And Affections Of The People Before He Can Do Any Effective Work.

There Is The Joy Of One's Own Salvation. I Thought, When I First Tasted That, It Was The Most Delicious Joy I Had Ever Known, And That I Could Never Get Beyond It. But I Found, Afterward, There Was Something More Joyful That, Namely, The Joy Of The Salvation Of Others.

I Firmly Believe That The Moment Our Hearts Are Emptied Of Pride And Selfishness And Ambition And Self-seeking And Every Thing That Is Contrary To God's Law, The Holy Ghost Will Come And Fill Every Corner Of Our Hearts; But If We Are Full Of Pride And Conceit And Ambition And Self-seeking And Pleasure And The World, There Is No Room For The Spirit Of God; And I Believe Many A Man Is Praying To God To Fill Him When He Is Full Already With Something Else.

The Trouble With A Great Many Men Is That They Spread Themselves Out Over Too Much Ground. They Fail In Everything.

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.

Jesus Came From Heaven Down To Earth. He Left All Grandeur Behind Him, He Passed By Palaces And Thrones-to Be Born In A Manger! He Was Born Lowly, That He Might Raise Men Up To God.

Prayer Does Not Mean That I Am To Bring God Down To My Thoughts And My Purposes, And Bend His Government According To My Foolish, Silly, And Sometimes Sinful Notions.

The Resurrection Is The Keystone Of The Arch On Which Our Faith Is Supported. If Christ Has Not Risen, We Must Impeach All Those Witnesses For Lying. If Christ Has Not Risen, We Have No Proof That The Crucifixion Of Jesus Differed From That Of The Two Thieves Who Suffered With Him. If Christ Has Not Risen, It Is Impossible To Believe His Atoning Death Was Accepted.

A Holy Life Will Produce The Deepest Impression. Lighthouses Blow No Horns; They Only Shine.

Attitudes Determine Our Actions, For Good Or Bad.

Light For Every Darkness, Life In Death, The Promise Of Our Lord's Return, And The Assurance Of Everlasting Glory.

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.

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.

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.

God Has Nothing To Say To The Self-righteous.

When God Wants To Move A Mountain, He Does Not Take A Bar Of Iron, But He Takes A Little Worm. The Fact Is, We Have Too Much Strength. We Are Not Weak Enough. It Is Not Our Strength That We Want. One Drop Of God's Strength Is Worth More Than All The World.

After We Have Made Our Requests Known To Him, Our Language Should Be, "thy Will Be Done". I Would A Thousand Times Rather That Gods' Will Should Be Done Than My Own.

God Has Cast Our Confessed Sins Into The Depths Of The Sea, And He's Even Put A 'no Fishing' Sign Over The Spot.

The Reward Of Service Is More Service.

God Never Made A Promise That Was Too Good To Be True.

Too Good To Be True

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.

Church Attendance

God Commands Us To Be Filled With The Spirit, And If We Are Not Filled, It Is Because We Are Living Beneath Our Privileges

I Know I Have A First-rate Mind, But That`s No Source Of Pride To Me. Intelligent People Are A Dime A Dozen. But I Am Proud Of Having Character.

The Dying Boy Said: " Father, Don't You Weep For Me; When I Get To Heaven I Will Go Straight To Jesus And Tell Him That Ever Since I Can Remember You Have Tried To Lead Me To Him."

I Prayed For Faith, And Thought That Some Day Faith Would Come Down And Strike Me Like Lightning. But Faith Did Not Seem To Come. One Day I Read In The Tenth Chapter Of Romans, 'now Faith Cometh By Hearing, And Hearing By The Word Of God'. I Had Closed My Bible, And Prayed For Faith. I Now Opened My Bible, And Began To Study, And Faith Has Been Growing Ever Since.

By The Grace Of God, I'll Be That Man.

I'd Rather Get Ten Men To Do The Job Than To Do The Job Of Ten Men.

If You Were To Spend A Month Feeding On The Precious Promises Of God, You Would Not Be Going About With Your Heads Hanging Down Like Bulrushes, Complaining How Poor You Are; But You Would Lift Up Your Heads With Confidence, And Proclaim The Riches Of His Grace Because You Could Not Help It.

Character Is What You Do In The Dark.
