A saint is good when nobody is looking.

Image
No faith is required to do the possible actually only a morsel of this atom-powered stuff is needed to do the impossible, for a piece as large as a mustard seed will do more than we have ever dreamed of.

Image
It may be that Satan has little cause to fear most preaching. Yet past experiences sting him to rally all his infernal army to fight against God's people praying.

They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.

We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.

Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.

The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

The Cinderella of the church of today is the prayer meeting.

You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.

I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!

We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.

A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.
