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

Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies.

Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.

Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.

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.

The tragedy in our colleges and seminaries right now is that we turn men out who know the word of God. That is never going to turn the world. The question is not whether they know the Word of God.... The question is......Do they know the God of the Word?

Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.

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.

Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.

When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.

Praying Christians know nothing of their friends

The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.

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.
