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
Image
Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Isn't it amazing that God gives breath to a man who is going to blaspheme Him all day!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.

The longer I live, the more I find I don't know

God doesn't answer prayer, He answers desperate prayer!
