More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Leonard Ravenhill
All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.

They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

Leonard Ravenhill
The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.
Leonard Ravenhill
Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.
Leonard Ravenhill
I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.
Leonard Ravenhill
A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.
Leonard Ravenhill
The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!
Leonard Ravenhill
You won't become a saint by studying your Bible you'll become a saint by living it.
Leonard Ravenhill
This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.
Leonard Ravenhill
Any method of evangelism will workâif God is in it.
Leonard Ravenhill
The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
