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.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.
Leonard Ravenhill
Testimonies are wonderful. But, so often our lives don't fit our testimonies.
Leonard Ravenhill
If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.
Leonard Ravenhill
The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.
Leonard Ravenhill
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
Leonard Ravenhill
Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
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
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
Life begets life by its very nature. By the same token, inspired men inspire.
Leonard Ravenhill
You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.
Leonard Ravenhill
He who fears God fears no man.
Leonard Ravenhill
I think one of the serious breakdowns in modern evangelism is this: it has offered too much for too little. What we do mostly is offer forgiveness. We need cleansing! There is no true conversion until a man takes up his cross.
Leonard Ravenhill
The more men pray, the less worldly they become. The less they pray, the more worldly they become. I am, of course, speaking of professing Christians at this point.
Leonard Ravenhill
Satan fools and feigns, blows and bluffs, and we so often take his threats to heart and forget the exceeding greatness of God's power to us.
