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
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.

All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I'd rather have ten people that want God than 10,000 people who want to play church.

The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.

Image
The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.

Image
Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.

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.

Praying men stop sinning and sinning men stop praying.
