But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.
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.

I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

A saint is good when nobody is looking.

The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.

Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?

Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.
