Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.
Leonard Ravenhill

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

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.

Image
Love is blind. Marriage is an eye-opener.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.
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
The true church lives and moves and has its being in prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We are not eternity conscious enough.
