Quote

Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world but if the world gets into them, they sink.

Dwight L. Moody

More quotes by Dwight L. Moody

Image
Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg so that it must be amputated, God will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If our circumstances find us in God, we shall find God in all our circumstances.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody forty years learning he was nobody and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A holy life will produce the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns they only shine.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Every one of our children will be brought into the ark, if we pray and work earnestly for them.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
How many people would like to get up in a social prayer-meeting to say a few words for Christ, but there is such a cold spirit of criticism in the church that they dare not do it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
I firmly believe a great many prayers are not answered because we are not willing to forgive someone.
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
No one should ever preach on the topic of hell without a tear in his eye.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
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.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
If you do not feel a fervent love and profound pity for humanity, be assured that the gift of Christian eloquence has been denied you. You will not win souls, neither will you acquire that most excellent of earthly sovereignties - sovereignty over human hearts....Love is irresistible.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough today to last him for the next 6 months, nor can he inhale sufficient air into his lungs with one breath to sustain life for a week to come. We are permitted to draw upon God's store of grace from day to day as we need it.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.
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
Image
Be humble, or you'll stumble.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
My friends, look to Christ, and not to yourselves. That is what is the matter with a great many sinners instead of looking to Christ, they are looking at the bite of sin.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Some men’s prayers need to be cut short at both ends and set on fire in the middle.
Dwight L. Moody
Image
Everybody wants to enjoy heaven after they die, but they don't want to be heavenly-minded while they live.
Dwight L. Moody

Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
