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.

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.

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.

Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.

Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?
Leonard Ravenhill

We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
There's only one proof of the Holy Ghost in your life and that's a holy life.

Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.

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.
