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.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
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
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Leonard Ravenhill
The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
I believe every church is either supernatural or superficial. I don't believe there's any middle ground.

The Cinderella of the church of today is the prayer meeting.

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.)
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.
Leonard Ravenhill
A saint is good when nobody is looking.
Leonard Ravenhill
Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man
Leonard Ravenhill
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
Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?
Leonard Ravenhill
Finney preached and sometimes the whole congregation would get up and leave! that's good preaching.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Leonard Ravenhill
Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.
