If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We have substituted organizing for agonizing and equipment for endowment.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
A saint is good when nobody is looking.

Image
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.

Men of prayer must be men of steel, for they will be assaulted by Satan even before they attempt to assault his kingdom.

Image
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.

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

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

We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.

Image
Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.

Image
The first essential for the coming of the Holy Ghost into a heart today is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, for the Holy Spirit does not fill an unclean heart. What God has cleansed, He then fills. Finally, whom God fills, He uses. A holy life is the authentic sign of being filled with the Spirit.

We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.

Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

No church group that knows spiritual warfare has wiener roasts or even passion plays. There is a real warfare. I have said before that we are an arrogant, self-styled bunch of believers. We believe to the point of inconvenience - and then quit.

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.

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

There's one thing that life does where ever it goes- it begats life.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?
