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
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!
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion
Leonard Ravenhill
Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
If you're going to be a true Christian, I'll tell you one thing amongst others: it'll be a lonely life. It's a narrow way and it becomes narrower and narrower and narrower.
Leonard Ravenhill
The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
In the New Testament church it says they were all amazed - And now in our churches everybody wants to be amused.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
Leonard Ravenhill
Praying Christians know nothing of their friends
Leonard Ravenhill
When you’re sitting in a dark room, you can either sit and curse the darkness—or you can light a candle.
Leonard Ravenhill
The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?
Leonard Ravenhill
Christianity is the only religion in the world where a man's God comes and lives inside of Him!
Leonard Ravenhill
We have substituted organizing for agonizing and equipment for endowment.

Redemption is a magnificent thing ..the life of God in the soul of man
Leonard Ravenhill
What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.

Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity
