The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill

Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
