D. L. Moody

God is always true to what He promises to do. He made promises to Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and Joshua, and did He not fulfill them? He will fulfill every word of what He has promised; yet how few take Him at His word!

—D. L. Moody

I don’t object to seeing men weep over their sins. I don’t know why it is not manly for a man to weep over his sins. It is more manly than to trifle with salvation, and make light of serious things. A great many men seem to be ashamed to shed tears over their sins.

—D. L. Moody

All these men that are trying to pick the Word of God to pieces, trying to destroy our confidence in the Word of God, tell us it is not true; but any one who has ever tried God, who has ever proved God, has found Him to be true.

—D. L. Moody

Some people hold the truth, but in such a cold stern way that it will do no good. Other people want to love everything, and so they give up much of the truth; but we are to hold the truth in love; we are to hold the truth even if we lose all, but we are to hold it in love.

—D. L. Moody

Men say they don’t want to give up their freedom. There is no freedom until a man knows the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is slave to sin, to his passions and lusts until Christ snaps the fetters and sets him free.

—D. L. Moody

Men don’t like to have Christ preached faithfully; but it is just what they don’t like to have that we must give them. I learned that long ago. The very truths that men object to, and that make them angry, are the truths that bring them to the cross of Christ.

—D. L. Moody

When He shouted on the cross, “It is finished!” it was the shout of a conqueror. He had overcome every enemy. He had met sin and death. He had met every foe that you and I have got to meet, and had come off victor.

—D. L. Moody

There is one thing that I fear more than anything else, and that is the dead, cold formalism of the Church of God. So many of us are just sleeping and slumbering while souls are perishing. Some are beginning to rub our eyes and get them half-opened, but as a whole we are asleep.

—D. L. Moody

No sooner has a soul escaped than the great Adversary takes steps to ensnare it again. The fiercest attacks are made on the strongest forts, and the fiercer the battle the young believer is called on to wage, the surer evidence it is of the work of the Holy Spirit in his heart.

—D. L. Moody

Yes, thank God, he has conquered Death and the grave; and you can shout now, “O grave, where is thy victory!” He went down into the grave and conquered it, and came up out of it; and now he says, “Because I live, ye shall live also.”

—D. L. Moody

You will find all through the Scriptures, when men were filled with the Holy Spirit, they preached Christ and not themselves. They preached Christ and Him crucified.

—D. L. Moody

Some people hold the truth, but in such a cold stern way that it will do no good. Other people want to love everything, and so they give up much of the truth; but we are to hold the truth in love; we are to hold the truth even if we lose all, but we are to hold it in love.

—D. L. Moody

May God help His own people to shine brightly, to flash out of darkness, that men may take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus!

—D. L. Moody

If the world has nothing to say against you, it is a pretty sure sign that God has not much to say for you, for if you do seek to live unto Christ Jesus, you must go against the current of the world.

—D. L. Moody

It is utterly impossible to make a man better without Christ, and that is what men are trying to do. They are trying to patch up this old Adam’s nature. There must be a new creation.

—D. L. Moody

Yes, thank God, he has conquered Death and the grave; and you can shout now, “O grave, where is thy victory!” He went down into the grave and conquered it, and came up out of it; and now he says, “Because I live, ye shall live also.”

—D. L. Moody

Thanks be to God, we do not worship a dead Savior.

—D. L. Moody

When He shouted on the cross, “It is finished!” it was the shout of a conqueror. He had overcome every enemy. He had met sin and death. He had met every foe that you and I have got to meet, and had come off victor.

—D. L. Moody

If you want to get heavenly wisdom you must pass through God’s college. Do you know where that is? Why, at the feet of Christ.

—D. L. Moody

The strongest proof of God’s love is that He gave Christ to die for our sins. That cross testifies of the love of God for this world.

—D. L. Moody

Don’t let infidelity come in and make us believe that God has got a deaf ear and cannot answer, or that His arm is shortened and He cannot deliver. Our God is a prayer-answering God.

—D. L. Moody

If you die in your sins, there is not in the Bible one ray of hope to show that there will be opportunity to repent hereafter. Now is the accepted time of salvation.

—D. L. Moody

My friends, let us take God at His word. Let us try Him. Let us prove Him. We will find that God is true.

—D. L. Moody

That is really the very height of preaching, when men make themselves nothing and Christ everything.

—D. L. Moody

If we lean upon anything but the arm of God we will be disappointed.

—D. L. Moody

Men say they don’t want to give up their freedom. There is no freedom until a man knows the Lord Jesus Christ. A man is slave to sin, to his passions and lusts until Christ snaps the fetters and sets him free.

—D. L. Moody

If the devil cannot make a man feel that he is good enough without being saved, then he will tell him he is so bad the Lord will have nothing to do with him.

—D. L. Moody

I do not believe that there is any true revival that is not brought about by a good deal of prayer.

—D. L. Moody

I have great respect for a man who can stand up for what he believes is right against all the world. He who can stand alone is a hero.

—D. L. Moody

When we bring the Church down to the level of the world to reach the world, we are losing all the while and grieving the Spirit of God.
