If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.

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.

Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

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

It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.

Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

Image
I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
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!

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.
