We are not eternity conscious enough.
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!

The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

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

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.

We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!
Leonard Ravenhill

Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity

Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself.

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

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