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.

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.

Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I've got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels. What do you think I'm going to do? Sit down and cry?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.

If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill

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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.
