Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?

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

We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)

Never have so many left so much to so few.

If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

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 law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

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.

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 less power a church has, the more entertainment it has.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.

Praying Christians know nothing of their friends

The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?

The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!
Leonard Ravenhill

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

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

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

At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!

The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.

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.
