DL Moody

Last night Pamela was doing some "Chicago research" for a small tour she is giving for a few friends who are in town.  She came across a transcription of a speech given by RA Torrey in 1923 about DL Moody entilted: "Why God Used D.L Moody" (click here for the complete speech).  Torrey identified 7 reasons why D.L. Moody may have been so uniqely used by God.  It is my prayer that at the end of my life, these things can be said of me.

(1) A Fully Surrendered Man

(2) A Man of Prayer

(3) A Deep and Practical Student of the Bible

(4) A Humble Man

(5) His Entire Freedom from the Love of Money

(6) His Consuming Passion for the Salvation of the Lost

(7) Definitely Endued with Power from on High

 Proverb 20:6

Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, 

But who can find a faithful man?
