181 " The next “I will” is found in Luke, fifth chapter. We read of a leper who came to Christ, and said: “Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.” The Lord touched him, saying, “I will: be thou clean”; and immediately the leprosy left him. "

182 " God wants heart service; if we do not give Him that, we can render to Him no service at all. "

184 " Now turn to Matthew, tenth chapter, thirty-second verse: “Whosoever therefore shall confess Me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.” There’s the “I will” of confession. "
185 " You are ashamed to open your Bible and read that blessed Psalm, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” You are ashamed to be seen on your knees. No man can be a disciple of Jesus Christ without bearing His cross. A great many people want to know how it is Jesus Christ has so few disciples, whilst Mahomet has so many. The reason is that Mahomet gives no cross to bear. There "
186 " For whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4). "

187 " But in the kingdom of God the very least and the very weakest may shine if they will. Not only can one obtain the prize, but all may have it if they will. "
188 " Earth’s nobility are soon forgotten. John Bunyan, the Bedford tinker, has outlived the whole crowd of those who were the nobility in his day. They lived for self, and their memory is blotted out. He lived for God and for souls, and his name is as fragrant as ever it was. "
189 " There are natives in Central Africa who never dreamed that they were dark-skinned until they saw the face of a white man. "
190 " The next I will is the “I will” of service. There are a good many Christians who have been quickened and aroused to say, “I want to do some service for Christ.” Well, Christ says, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. "
191 " How different with this faithful prophet of the Lord! Twenty five centuries have passed away, and his name shines on, and on, and on, brighter and brighter. And it is going to shine while the Church of God exists. “They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever. "
192 " Conscience compared with the Bible is like a flashlight compared with the sun in the heavens. "
193 " There are three kinds of faith in Christ:1. Struggling faith, like a man in deep water desperately swimming.2. Clinging faith, like a man hanging to the side of a boat.3. Resting faith, like a man safely within the boat (and able to reach out with a hand to help someone else get in). "

194 " A minister once pronounced the benediction in this way: “The heart of God to make us welcome; the blood of Christ to make us clean, and the Holy Spirit to make us certain. "

195 " All church members ought to be third class passengers—ready to dismount and push all together, and push with a will. That was John Wesley’s definition of a church—“All at it, and always at it.” Every Christian ought to be a worker. He need not be a preacher, he need not be an evangelist, to be useful. He "
196 " The question is, are you overcoming the world, or is the world overcoming you? Are you more patient than you were five years ago? Are you more amiable? If you are not, the world is overcoming you, even if you are a church member. That epistle that Paul wrote to Titus says that we are to be sound in patience, faith and charity. We "
197 " There are natives in Central Africa who never dreamed that they were dark-skinned until they saw the face of a white man. A great many people in this world never knew they were sinful until they saw the face of Jesus Christ in all its purity. "
198 " I believe that for every spiritual difficulty there is some promise in the Word of God to meet that difficulty. But if you keep your feelings and your troubles all locked up, how are you to be helped? I might stand and preach to you for thirty days without touching on your particular difficulty. But a twenty-minute private conversation can clear away all your doubts and troubles. "

199 " God can take care of us when we pass through the waters; God can take care of us when we pass through the fires. God is able to take care of us, if only we will stand up for Him. God will take care of us, if only we will stand up for Him. "
― Dwight L. Moody , Daniel, Man of God: Being a Man of Character in a Babylon World
200 " It is wrong for a man or woman to profess what they don’t possess. If you are not overcoming temptations, the world is overcoming you. Just get on your knees and ask God to help you. My dear friends, let us go to God and ask Him to search us. Let us ask Him to wake us up, and let us not think that just because we are church members we are all right. We are all wrong if we are not getting victory over sin. "
