I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.

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.

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?

The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.

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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.

I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.

The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
