Moody's Anecdotes And Illustrations: Related in his Revival Work by the Great Evangelist
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Christian life -- Fiction; Homiletical illustrations
-- If we have a praise church we will have people converted. I don't
care where it is, what part of the world it's in, if we have a praise
church we'll have successful Christianity.
-- Every good gift that we have had from the cradle up has come from
God. If a man just stops to think what he has to praise God for, he
will find there is enough to keep him singing praises for a week.
-- We have in our churches a great deal of prayer, but I think it would
be a good thing if we had a praise meeting occasionally. If we could
only get people to praise God for what He has done, it would be a
good deal better than asking Him continually for something.
PRAYER.
A Voice from the Tomb.
The other day I read of a mother who died, leaving her child alone and
very poor. She used to pray earnestly for her boy, and left an
impression upon his mind that she cared more for his soul than she cared
for anything else in the world. He grew up to be a successful man in
business, and became very well off. One day not long ago, after his
mother had been dead for twenty years, he thought he would remove her
remains and put her into his own lot in the cemetery, and put up a
little monument to her memory. As he came to remove them and to lay her
away the thought came to him, that while his mother was alive she had
prayed for him, and he wondered why her prayers were not answered. That
very night that man was saved. After his mother had been buried so long
a time, the act of removing her body to another resting place, brought
up all the recollections of his childhood, and he became a Christian. O,
you mothers!
