The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.

You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.
Leonard Ravenhill

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.

Leonard Ravenhill
Image
This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The Holy Book of the living God suffers more from its exponents today than from its opponents.
Leonard Ravenhill

The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
