Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.

The first essential for the coming of the Holy Ghost into a heart today is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, for the Holy Spirit does not fill an unclean heart. What God has cleansed, He then fills. Finally, whom God fills, He uses. A holy life is the authentic sign of being filled with the Spirit.

Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.

Let the fires go out in the boiler room of the church and the place will still look smart and clean, but it will be cold. The Prayer Room is the boiler room for its spiritual life.

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

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.

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!

I have no faith in my faith. My faith is in the faithful God.

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.)

This life is a dressing room for eternity - THAT'S ALL IT IS!
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Where,oh,where are the eternity-conscious believers? Where are the souls white-hot for God because they fear His holy name and presence and so live with eternity's values in view?

To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.

The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.

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

Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.

Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.

The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!
