Dwight L. Moody

Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God's favor.

Some people think God does not like to be troubled with our constant coming and asking. The way to trouble God is not to come at all.

Those who say they will forgive but can't forget, simply bury the hatchet but leave the handle out for immediate use.

I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.

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.

I cannot convert men; I can only proclaim the Gospel

The best way to revive a church is to build a fire in the pulpit.

There is no use in running before you are sent; there is no use in attempting to do God's work without God's power. A man working without this unction, a man working without this anointing, a man working without the Holy Ghost upon him, is losing time after all.

Moses spent forty years in the king's palace thinking that he was somebody; then he lived forty years in the wilderness finding out that without GOD he was a nobody; finally he spent forty more years discovering how a nobody with GOD can be a somebody.

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.

I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.

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.

We may sing our hymns and psalms, and offer prayers, but they will be an abomination to God, unless we are willing to be thoroughly straightforward in our daily life.

The world has yet to see what God will do with a man fully consecrated to Him. By God's help, I aim to be that man.

I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work; but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.

Small numbers make no difference to God. There is nothing small if God is in it.

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.

I am walking toward a bright light and the nearer I get the brighter it is.

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.

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.

The Christian on his knees sees more than the philosopher on tiptoe. God sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves.
