Can D. L. Moody or Charles Wesley glory in what they accomplished?

No one, including Dwight L. Moody or Charles Wesley, can glory in what they accomplished, because it is all of God or none of God. Human ministry success cannot be grounds for boasting; any accomplishment must be attributed to God's work, not the individual.

Les explains that no one—not Dwight L. Moody, not Finney, not Charles Wesley—can ever glory that they accomplished something. The point is that it is all of God, or it is none of God. This fits the apostle Paul's mindset in 2 Corinthians 4, where despite being troubled, perplexed, and persecuted, he never gave up, knowing God had His own purposes and had not forsaken him. The same truth applies today: any accomplishment in ministry is entirely God's work, leaving no room for personal boasting.
