You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.

Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.

The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. Why is there this criminal indifference to the lostness of men? Our condemnation is that we know how to live better than we are living.

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

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

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 have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)

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.

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.

Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?

Would we send our daughters off to have sex if it would benefit our country? Yet, we send our sons off to kill when we think it would benefit our country!

I doubt if 5% of professing Christians in America are born again-and that's true of England!

Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!
