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!”

I would a thousand times rather that God’s will should be done than my own.

—D. L. Moody

The world cannot, and never could, satisfy a hungry soul. The Lord Jesus can.

—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

We don’t know what is before us, but if we have received Jesus Christ, let storms come, let deaths come, let sickness come, let pestilence come, we are sure of life beyond the grave.

—D. L. Moody

Why, if God has said He will do a thing, shall we turn around and insult Him by doubting?

—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

We may be very weak in ourselves, but see what a mighty God we have.

—D. L. Moody

All history is being directed by God in order to bring his own purpose with respect to the kingdom to pass.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

If those who have believed are liable to forsake it, if that is a possibility, what is the predicament of those who have never believed?

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

We could no more earn a place in the heart of the Father than we could satisfy the claims of the righteous Judge. All is of free grace.

—D. L. Moody

Have you ever been filled with a sense of amazement and wonder at the drama of the cross?

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

What God has promised, He will most certainly perform.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The Christian faith differs from all other religions in that its doctrines are based on facts.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

There will be no peace in any soul until it is willing to obey the voice of God.

—D. L. Moody

If you receive Jesus Christ, you will love him more than you will love yourself. He will be dearer to you than yourself.

—D. L. Moody

Don’t you see that if you get your heart set on earthly things, you will be disappointed; but if your heart is set on heavenly things, you will have peace all the while.

—D. L. Moody

When you are a child of God, you will love the things that God loves. What you once hated you will love, and what you once loved, you will hate.

—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

God’s ancient people, especially the most spiritual among them, were so conscious of the holiness and the greatness of God that they trembled to even use His name.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

To fall in love with God is the greatest romance; to seek him the greatest adventure; to find him, the greatest human achievement.

Augustine

Bad times, hard times, this is what people keep saying; but let us live well, and times shall be good. We are the times: Such as we are, such are the times.

Augustine

…the Incarnation shows us the method or the manner of God’s blessing.

—Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Put no faith in salvation through the political order.

Augustine

We are living in very strange days. Some people tell us it does not make any difference what a man believes in if he is only sincere. No greater delusion ever came out of the pit of hell than that. It is ruining more souls at present than anything else.

—D. L. Moody
