Dwight L. Moody

"Depend upon it, as long as the church is living so much like the world, we cannot expect our children to be brought into the fold."

"Would you be free from the condemnation of the sins that are past, from the power of the temptations that are to come? Then take your stand on the Rock of Ages. Let death, let the grave, let the judgment come, the victory is Christs and yours through Him."

"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 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 Gods 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 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."

"Merely reading the Bible is no use at all without we study it thoroughly, and hunt it through, as it were, for some great truth."

"Go through Johns Gospel, and study the "believes," the "verilys," the " I ams; "and go through the Bible in that way, and it becomes a new book to you."

"My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners; instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin."

"As a dead man cannot inherit an estate, no more can a dead soul inherit heaven. The soul must be resurrected in Christ."

"My friends, does God invite you? If He does, why dont you accept the invitation? If you want to come, just come along, and dont be talking about feeling. Do you think Lazarus had any feeling when Christ called him out of the sepulchre?"

"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."

"Character is what you are in the dark."
