Many Of The Bible Characters Fell Just In The Things In Which They Were Thought To Be Strongest. Moses Failed In His Humility, Abraham In His Faith, Elijah In His Courage, For One Woman Scared Him Away To That Juniper-tree; And Peter, Whose Strong Point Was Boldness, Was So Frightened By A Maid, As To Deny His Lord.

More From Dwight L. Moody

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! At That Moment I Shall Be More Alive Than I Am Now; I Shall Have Gone Up Higher, That Is All, Out Of This Old Clay Tenement Into A House That Is Immortal-a Body That Death Cannot Touch, That Sin Cannot Taint; A Body Fashioned Like Unto His Glorious Body.

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.

I Now Opened My Bible And Began To Study, And Faith Has Been Growing Ever Since.

It Is Easier For Me To Have Faith In The Bible Than To Have Faith In D.l. Moody, For Moody Has Failed Me Lots Of Times.

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

Those Who Say They Will Forgive But Can't Forget, Simply Bury The Hatchet But Leave The Handle Out For Immediate Use.

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.

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.

If You Don't Enter The Kingdom Of Heaven By God's Way, You Cannot Enter At All.

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

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.

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.

Fervency In Prayer By The Power Of The Holy Spirit Is A Good Preservative Against Thoughts Rushing In. Flies Never Settle On The Boiling Pot.

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.

We Ought To See The Face Of God Every Morning Before We See The Face Of Man.

Many Of The Bible Characters Fell Just In The Things In Which They Were Thought To Be Strongest.

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.

Small Numbers Make No Difference To God. There Is Nothing Small If God Is In It.

In Our Prayers, We Talk To God, In Our Bible Study, God Talks To Us, And We Had Better Let God Do Most Of The Talking.

When A Man Is Not Deeply Convicted Of Sin, It Is A Pretty Sure Sign That He Has Not Truly Repented. Experience Has Taught Me That Men Who Have Very Slight Conviction Of Sin Sooner Or Later Lapse Back Into Their Old Life.

Our Faith Must Be Tested. God Builds No Ships But What He Sends To Sea.

I Hunted All Through The Four Gospels Trying To Find One Of Christ's Funeral Sermons, But I Couldn't Find Any. I Found He Broke Up Every Funeral He Ever Attended! Death Couldn't Exist Where He Was.

God Has Called Us To Shine, Just As Much As Daniel Was Sent Into Babylon To Shine. Let No One Say That He Cannot Shine Because He Has Not So Much Influence As Some Others May Have. What God Wants You To Do Is To Use The Influence You Have. Daniel Probably Did Not Have Much Influence Down In Babylon At First, But God Soon Gave Him More Because He Was Faithful And Used What He Had.

If Our Circumstances Find Us In God, We Shall Find God In All Our Circumstances.

This Lost World Will Never Be Reached And Brought Back To Loyalty To God, Until The Children Of God Wake Up To The Fact That They Have A Mission In The World. If We Are True Christians We Should All Be Missionaries.

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.

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.

They Make No Impression Because They Do A Little Work Here And A Little Work There....lay Yourselves On The Altar Of God, And Then Concentrate On Some One Work.

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.

The Monument I Want After I Am Dead Is A Monument With Two Legs Going Around The World-a Saved Sinner Telling About The Salvation Of Jesus Christ.

The Best Definition I Can Find Of Faith Is The Dependence Upon The Veracity Of Another. The Bible Definition In The 11th Chapter Of Hebrews Is, 'faith Is The Substance Of Things Hoped For, The Evidence Of Things Not Seen.' In Other Words, Faith Says Amen To Everything That God Says. Faith Takes God Without Any Ifs, If God Says It, Faith Says I Believe It; Faith Says Amen To It.

A Great Many People Wonder Why It Was That Christ Did Not Come At Once To Martha And Mary, Whom He Loved, Whenever He Heard Of Their Affliction. It Was To Try Them, And It Is The Same With His Dealings Toward Us. If He Seems Not To Come To Us In Our Affliction, It Is Only To Test Us.

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.

'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.

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.

The Scriptures Were Not Given To Increase Our Knowledge, But To Change Our Lives.

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

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.

If We Do Not Commend The Gospel To People By Our Holy Walk And Conversation, We Shall Not Win Them To Christ. Some Little Act Of Kindness Will Perhaps Do More To Influence Them Than Any Number Of Long Sermons.

I Thought When I Became A Christian I Had Nothing To Do But Just To Lay My Oars In The Bottom Of The Boat And Float Along. But I Soon Found That I Would Have To Go Against The Current.

If God Did Not Want Us To Understand The Book Of Revelation, He Would Not Have Given It To Us At All.

It May Be That At This Moment Every Battlement Of Heaven Is Alive With The Redeemed. There Is A Sainted Mother Watching For Her Daughter. Have You No Response To That Long Hushed Voice Which Has Prayed For You So Often? And For You, Young Man, Are There No Voices There That Have Prayed For You? And Are There None Whom You Promised Once To Meet Again, If Not On Earth, In Heaven?

If God Is Your Partner, Make Your Plans Big!
