Christian Writers and Preachers

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.

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

There is something down in the human heart that is so under the power of the devil that men begin to resist you when you preach Christ; but you may preach everything else but that, and there is no opposition.

—D. L. Moody

God speaks to me by speaking in me.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Everything unclean will be shut outside, and God will be all in all. The ultimate triumph of God is sure.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Christ is the anointed one, the sent one. God sent Him to deal in grace with men; and if you want the God of all grace to meet you and bless you, you must meet Him at the foot of the cross; you must meet Him in Christ.

—D. L. Moody

There is not one that is troubled with any sin but that he can find a Deliverer in the Lord Jesus Christ.

—D. L. Moody

If our sermons are going to reach the hearts and consciences of the people, we must be in much prayer to God, that there may be power with the Word.

—D. L. Moody

But if everyone else has gone astray, it is your duty to follow Christ. He is the perfect example.

—D. L. Moody

God gave man and woman a perfect start, but they did not appreciate God’s perfection.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Sin is that which makes the devil rejoice.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

We must not allow the devil to take advantage of us, and make us believe that God does not love us because He does not grant all our petitions in the time and way we would have Him do.

—D. L. Moody

You can’t have true faith without works no more than you can have fire without heat.

—D. L. Moody

“None but God could have had patience with some of us!”
