Christian Writers and Preachers

We must believe that God is always true to His word, and that His promises never fail.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The church is made up men and women, imperfect men and women, and consequently it is an imperfect institution, but none the less it is of divine origin and God loves it, and every believer should realize that he belongs to it and should openly take his place in it.

—R. A. Torrey

Go to your pastor and ask him if there is some work he would like to have you do for him in the church. Be a person that your pastor can depend upon.

—R. A. Torrey

I would rather believe and preach unpleasant truth than to believe and preach pleasant error.

—R. A. Torrey

…this is the devil’s great blunder, that by bringing the Son of God to the cross he was defeating himself, and bringing about his own ultimate doom.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Sin is that which has defiled God’s work, God’s image, in man and woman.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

…the Christian is assured that though he may be a person who is physically disposed to be thoroughly alarmed, he may experience not only strength but positive joy in the midst of danger.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Christ’s words must abide or continue in us. We must study His words, fairly devour His words, let them sink deep into our thought and into our heart, keep them in our memory, obey them constantly in our life, let them shape and mold our daily life and our every act.

—R. A. Torrey

Walk circumspectly, because you don’t know who will be influenced by your words and actions.

—D. L. Moody

Put your trust in nothing of man, but in God alone!

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Do you say, “Have you never sinned?” Alas, I have. Sinned so deeply that none of you will ever know, thank God. But thank God still more, when Jesus Christ was nailed to yonder Cross of Calvary, all my sins were settled.

—R. A. Torrey

It would be well for us to be more careful how we sing. I don’t know why it is not as bad to sing a lie as to speak one.

—D. L. Moody

You can tell a man who is filled by the Holy Spirit; he is all the time talking about Christ, has nothing to say of himself, but is constantly holding Jesus Christ up as an all-sufficient Savior.

—D. L. Moody

Never let the rush of business crowd out prayer. Prayer is the greatest time saver known to man. The more work crowds you, the more time you should take for prayer.

—R. A. Torrey

Shame on us Christian people for thinking so much like worldlings and using the foolish methods of philosophy when we are dealing with the everlasting and eternal God.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

God takes up little things, and although they seem small in our sight, they are mighty when He is in them.

—D. L. Moody

Faith is an outward look, not an inward look. A great many people are looking at their feelings, a great many people are looking down here. Don’t be looking at your feelings, but look at heaven; and if you have got the right kind of Christ, you will have the right kind of faith.

—D. L. Moody

Many a man that shines and glitters now on the platform will soon be forgotten, but the man or woman who does anything for Christ will never be forgotten.

—D. L. Moody

God’s honor is something worth seeking. Man’s honor doesn’t amount to much.

—D. L. Moody

Let us pray for those who do not want our prayers. God is able to reach them.

—D. L. Moody

Thank God, I can proclaim the good news that Christ can deliver us from all our sins, and I don’t care if you are bound hand and foot with sin, if you only come to him, he will save you.

—D. L. Moody

There is a place where strength can always be renewed; that place is the presence of the Lord.

—R. A. Torrey

The poor have a friend in Jesus. If no one else loves them, Jesus loves them. He came to give them liberty, to proclaim to them the gospel of God’s grace.

—D. L. Moody

There is no limit to God’s power. That is the great mistake with men; they are always limiting God’s power by their own.

—D. L. Moody

Many attempt to be disciples of Jesus and not let the world know it. To be a secret disciple means to be no disciple at all. If one really has received Christ he cannot keep it to himself.

—R. A. Torrey

You do not know God apart from Jesus Christ.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

If we are not then more than conquerors we are failing as Christians.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

All our troubles are due to the fact that we will not stay where God put us.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

If God does not speak, we know nothing.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

All the devils in hell cannot break God’s Word. They have been at it six thousand years and failed.

—D. L. Moody
