Would we send our daughters off to have sex if it would benefit our country? Yet, we send our sons off to kill when we think it would benefit our country!

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
By our attitude to prayer we tell God that what was begun in the Spirit we can finish in the flesh.
Leonard Ravenhill
Our God is a consuming fire. He consumes pride, lust, materialism, and other sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
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?
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The longer I live, the more I find I don't know
Leonard Ravenhill
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.)
Leonard Ravenhill
There’s a difference between changing your opinion, and changing your lifestyle.
Leonard Ravenhill
Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!
Leonard Ravenhill
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
Leonard Ravenhill
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.
Leonard Ravenhill
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.
Leonard Ravenhill
Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
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?
Leonard Ravenhill
Easy believeism dishonors the blood and prostitutes the altar. We must alter the altar, for the altar is a place to die on. Let those who will not pay this price leave it alone!
Leonard Ravenhill
Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
