Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.

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!

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.

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

Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?

If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.

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.

Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.

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!

Some preachers master thier subjects some subjects master the preacher once in awhile one meets a preacher who is both master of, and also mastered by his subject. The apostle Paul, I am sure, was in that category.

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

The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.

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

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.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

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.

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?
