This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!

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

When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

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.

Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity

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

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.

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

But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.

If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.

When you’re sitting in a dark room, you can either sit and curse the darkness—or you can light a candle.

The longer I live, the more I find I don't know
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

As long as we are content to live without revival, we will.

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

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.

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.
