A saint is good when nobody is looking.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
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!

Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?

You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.

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.

In the New Testament church it says they were all amazed - And now in our churches everybody wants to be amused.

Image
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.

Image
Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!

Image
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.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If I don't believe the Word of God, why should you believe it? If we don't believe it, why should the world believe us?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. 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.
