Christian History Magazine—Issue 25: Dwight L. Moody: 19th c. Evangelist
Overview
Without higher education, he founded three educational institutions. Without theological training, he reshaped Victorian Christianity. Without radio or television, he reached 100 million people. Meet D. L. Moody, the shoe-salesman-turned-evangelist who took the Gospel from sea to shining sea during the late 19th century. Join Christian History and Biography for a brief look at an extraordinary man of God who valued interdenominational cooperation, lay-person participation, and social reformation as the backbone of Christian ministry.

Top Highlights
“Excuses are the cradle … that Satan rocks men off to sleep in.” (source)
“If you have so much business to attend to that you have no time to pray, depend upon it that you have more business on hand than God ever intended you should have.” (source)
“‘There is no use asking God to do things you can do yourself.’” (source)
“Some day you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all—out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal; a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint, a body fashioned like unto his glorious body. I was born of the flesh in 1837. I was born of the Spirit in 1856.* That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit will live forever.” (source)
“Moody’s education was, by most standards, inadequate: he never went to college or seminary, nor was he ever ordained as a clergyman. He spelled phonetically, so his adult letters and sermon outlines abounded in spelling errors, as well as grammatical ones.” (source)
