Dwight L Moody Quotes & Dwight L Moody Sayings

A good example is far better than a good precept. A man ought to live so that everybody knows he is a Christian... and most of all, his family ought to know. A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have. Death may be the King of terrors... but Jesus is the King of kings! Either these [unsaved] people are to be evangelized, or the leaven of communism and infidelity will assume such enormous proportions that it will break you in a reign of terror such as this country has never known. God doesn't seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones. God never made a promise that was too good to be true. I have had more trouble with myself than with any other man I have ever met! It is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that children cannot understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words? Next to the might of God, the serene beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence of good in all the world Preparation for old age should begin not later than one's teens. A life which is empty of purpose until 65 will not suddenly become filled on retirement. The difference between listening to a radio sermon and going to church...is almost like the difference between calling your girl on the phone and spending an evening with her. There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things. We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine. We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God. Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.
