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

If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.

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
Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
By our attitude to prayer we tell God that what was begun in the Spirit we can finish in the flesh.

The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents.

No church group that knows spiritual warfare has wiener roasts or even passion plays. There is a real warfare. I have said before that we are an arrogant, self-styled bunch of believers. We believe to the point of inconvenience - and then quit.

Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.

Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.

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.

The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.

We are not eternity conscious enough.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?

A saint is good when nobody is looking.

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.

There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.

Some Day Someone is going to pick up this book (The Bible) and believe it, and put us all to shame.

Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion
