You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.
Leonard Ravenhill
The most shattering thought I've ever had is my personal accountability to God one day
Leonard Ravenhill
Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.
Leonard Ravenhill
The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!
Leonard Ravenhill
It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.

I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?

The first essential for the coming of the Holy Ghost into a heart today is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, for the Holy Spirit does not fill an unclean heart. What God has cleansed, He then fills. Finally, whom God fills, He uses. A holy life is the authentic sign of being filled with the Spirit.
Leonard Ravenhill
We are not eternity conscious enough.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!
Leonard Ravenhill
Gethsemane is where He died the cross is only the evidence.
Leonard Ravenhill
You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

Praying Christians know nothing of their friends
Leonard Ravenhill
All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.
Leonard Ravenhill
The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity
Leonard Ravenhill
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!
