D. L. Moody Quote

“Oh, prodigal, you may be wandering on the dark mountains of sin, but God wants you to come home. The devil has been telling you lies about God; you think He will not receive you back. I tell you, He will welcome you this minute if you will come. Say, "I will arise and go to my Father."”

— D. L. Moody

There was a man here last night—you needn't be afraid that I shall mention his name—who said that his will was given up to God, and who got mad because the omnibus was full, and he had to walk a mile to his lodgings.

Merely reading the Bible is no use at all without we study it thoroughly, and hunt it through, as it were, for some great truth.

— D. L. Moody

Truth

Read 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.

— D. L. Moody

Study the Bible topically. If you will study assurance for a week, you will soon find it is your privilege to know that you are a child of God.

Go through John's Gospel, and study the "believes," the "verilys," the "I ams;" and go through the Bible in that way, and it becomes a new book to you.
