There's one thing that life does where ever it goes- it begats life.

Finney preached and sometimes the whole congregation would get up and leave! that's good preaching.

Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man

Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!
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.

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.

The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!

Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.

Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.

I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.

The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

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.
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!

Men of prayer must be men of steel, for they will be assaulted by Satan even before they attempt to assault his kingdom.
