Moody's Anecdotes And Illustrations: Related in his Revival Work by the Great Evangelist
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Christian life -- Fiction; Homiletical illustrations
A man was preaching about Christians recognizing each other in heaven,
and some one said, "I wish he would preach about recognizing each other
on earth." In one place where I preached, I looked over the great hall
of the old circus building where it was held, and saw men talking to
other men here and there. I said to the Secretary of the Young Men's
Christian Association who got up the meeting, "Who are these men?" He
said, "They are a band of workers." They were all scattered through the
hall, and preaching and watching for souls. Out of the fifty of them,
forty-one of their number had got a soul each and were talking and
preaching with them. We have been asleep long enough. When the laity
wake up and try and help the minister the minister will preach better.
GOLD.
-- It is the greatest pleasure of living to win souls to Christ.
-- I believe in what John Wesley used to say, "All at it, and always at
it," and that is what the Church wants to-day.
-- If we were all of us doing the work that God has got for us to do,
don't you see how the work of the Lord would advance?
-- There is no man living that can do the work that God has got for me
to do. No one can do it but myself. And if the work ain't done we
will have to answer for it when we stand before God's bar.
-- What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving,
never giving out anything. Why is it that many Christians are cold?
Because they are all the time receiving, never giving out an
anything.
