Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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
Image
Why in God's name do you expect to be accepted everywhere? How is it the world couldn't get on with the holiest man that ever lived, and it can get on with you and me?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!

The less power a church has, the more entertainment it has.

I'd rather have ten people that want God than 10,000 people who want to play church.

The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.

God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.

Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!

The longer I live, the more I find I don't know

This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!

Praying Christians know nothing of their friends

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

Image
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.

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.
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.

Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.
