More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.
Leonard Ravenhill
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
Leonard Ravenhill
What good does it do to speak in tongues on Sunday if you have been using your tongue during the week to curse and gossip?
Leonard Ravenhill
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.

We Christians are debtors to all men at all times in all places, but we are so smug to the lostness of men. We've been 'living in Laodicea,' lax, loose, lustful, and lazy. 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
The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!
Leonard Ravenhill
Are you wiser in God (now) than you were last year at this time? Peter says we're to grow in grace and the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.

Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.
Leonard Ravenhill
Notice, we never pray for folks we gossip about, and we never gossip about the folk for whom we pray! For prayer is a great deterrent.
Leonard Ravenhill
God doesn't answer prayer, He answers desperate prayer!
Leonard Ravenhill
The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
Leonard Ravenhill
A saint is good when nobody is looking.
Leonard Ravenhill
No faith is required to do the possible actually only a morsel of this atom-powered stuff is needed to do the impossible, for a piece as large as a mustard seed will do more than we have ever dreamed of.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.
Leonard Ravenhill
We need more prophets in our pulpits and less puppets
Leonard Ravenhill
Never have so many left so much to so few.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is preoccupation with our needs. Praise is preoccupation with our blessings. Worship is preoccupation with GOD Himself.
Leonard Ravenhill
Some preachers master thier subjects some subjects master the preacher once in awhile one meets a preacher who is both master of, and also mastered by his subject. The apostle Paul, I am sure, was in that category.

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
