The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I want to see the glory of God invade this generation.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

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!

The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.

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

He who fears God fears no man.

Image
Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.

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?

One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.

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.

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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!

It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
Christians don't tell lies, they just go to church and sing them. How many times have you stood and sang, “Take my life and let it be” when you haven't given Him one ounce?
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.

The only vision (many) of you have is television.

The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
