Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!
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
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.

Image
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.

We have too many preacherettes preaching too many sermonettes to too many Christianettes smoking cigarettes.

I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.

A saint is good when nobody is looking.

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.

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.

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

Never have so many left so much to so few.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
God asks the best we have Because He gave the Best He had.

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.

I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.

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

The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.
