If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

Image
Any method of evangelism will work—if God is in it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
You can have all of your doctrines right—yet still not have the presence of God.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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?

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.

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

I want to see the glory of God invade this generation.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
If Jesus came back today, he wouldn’t cleanse the temple, he’d cleanse the pulpit.
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
Isn't it amazing that God gives breath to a man who is going to blaspheme Him all day!

Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.
