There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

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

When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill

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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

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.

Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.

Image
I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.

Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.

Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.

Never have so many left so much to so few.

All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.
