Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
When there's something in the Bible that churches don't like, they call it 'legalism.'
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If Jesus came back today, he wouldn’t cleanse the temple, he’d cleanse the pulpit.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.

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

Any true revival can be proven by the fact that it changed the moral climate of an area or nation.

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!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

Image
Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

Image
You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.

Image
Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

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.)
