Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.
Leonard Ravenhill
Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.
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
The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.

Leonard Ravenhill
Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.
Leonard Ravenhill
We are not eternity conscious enough.

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?
Leonard Ravenhill
Church unity comes from corporate humility.
Leonard Ravenhill
The world is waiting for a practical demonstration of the Gospel of the grace of God!
Leonard Ravenhill
Every step you make in Jesus Christ enrages the devil.
Leonard Ravenhill
There's only one proof of the Holy Ghost in your life and that's a holy life.
Leonard Ravenhill
There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.
Leonard Ravenhill
The most shattering thought I've ever had is my personal accountability to God one day
Leonard Ravenhill
I'm sick and tired of (only) reading about church history let's make (some) by the grace of God
Leonard Ravenhill
All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.
