I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

Praying Christians know nothing of their friends

Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.

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

Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

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

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

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

Image
The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
