Quote

I never saw a useful Christian who was not a student of the Bible. If a man neglects his Bible, he may pray and ask God to use him in His work but God cannot make much use of him, for there is not much for the Holy Ghost to work upon.

More quotes by Dwight L. Moody

Image
Christ came down to save us from a terrible hell, and any man who is cast down to hell from here must go in the full blaze of the gospel, and over the mangled body of the Son of God.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
How far away is Heaven? It is not so far as some imagine. It wasn't very far from Daniel. It was not so far off that Elijah's prayer and those of others could not be heard there. Men full of the Spirit can look right into heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man to be converted has to give up his will, his ways, and his thoughts.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
When a man has no strength, if he leans on God, he becomes powerful.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Joy is love exalted peace is love in response long-suffering is love enduring gentleness is love in society goodness is love in action faith is love on the battlefield meekness is love in tough situations and temperance is love in training.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
God commands us to be filled with the Spirit, and if we are not filled, it is because we are living beneath our privileges
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A great many people are trying to make peace, but that has already been done. God has not left it for us to do all we have to do is to enter into it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
The monument I want after I am dead is a monument with two legs going around the world-a saved sinner telling about the salvation of Jesus Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
When I first became a Christian I thought I would be glad when I got farther on, and got established. I thought I would be so strong and there would not be any danger but the longer I live, the more danger I see there is. The only hope of any Christian...is to keep hold of Christ.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Whitewashing the pump won't make the water pure.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
What we want is to be real. Let us not appear to be more than we are. Don't let us put on any cant, any assumed humility, but let us be real that is the delight of God. God wants us to be real men and women, and if we profess to be what we are not, God knows all about us. God hates sham.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
His is a loving, tender hand, full of sympathy and compassion.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If God tells us to do a thing we are to do it if He tells us to believe a thing, we are to believe it we are to have faith in God. Have faith in God, and if God tells you to believe a thing believe it, and then you will have peace and confidence and joy.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Before we pray that God would fill us, I believe we ought to pray Him to empty us.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.
Dwight L. Moody

Character is what you are in the dark.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There is no greater honour than to be the instrument in God's hands of leading one person out of the kingdom of Satan into the glorious light of Heaven.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If you pray for bread and bring no basket to carry it, you prove the doubting spirit, which may be the only hindrance to the boon you ask.
