The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.
Leonard Ravenhill
The church as we know it today seems a million miles from the New Testament church. That may be a great generalization, but I will stand on it. There is a gulf between our average Christianity and the church of New Testament that makes the Grand Canyon look like a cavity in someone's tooth.
Leonard Ravenhill
A Christian who isn't praying, is only playing!
Leonard Ravenhill
Never have so many left so much to so few.
Leonard Ravenhill
I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Sunday morning service shows how popular your church is. The evening services show how popular your pastor is. Your private prayer time shows you how popular God is!
Leonard Ravenhill
The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.
Leonard Ravenhill
Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity
Leonard Ravenhill
We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)
Leonard Ravenhill
The longer I live, the more I find I don't know
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion
Leonard Ravenhill
We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.
Leonard Ravenhill
A man with an experience of God is never at the mercy of a man with an argument.
Leonard Ravenhill
Are you wiser in God (now) than you were last year at this time? Peter says we're to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Leonard Ravenhill
You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.
Leonard Ravenhill
We need more prophets in our pulpits and less puppets
Leonard Ravenhill
I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.
