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.

Entertainment is the devils substitute for joy, and when you get satisfaction out of that dumb thing, your joy will diminish.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.
Leonard Ravenhill
Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.
Leonard Ravenhill
This silly world outside thinks it is finished with Jesus Christ but they haven't even started with Him yet.
Leonard Ravenhill
Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.
Leonard Ravenhill
I want to so live that God doesn't have to have to give me one minute's
Leonard Ravenhill
The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.
Leonard Ravenhill
We need more prophets in our pulpits and less puppets
Leonard Ravenhill
The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.
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
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.
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
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
We need to close every church in the land for one Sunday and cease listening to a man so we can hear the groan of the Spirit which we in our lush pews have forgotten.
Leonard Ravenhill
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
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
The world has lost the power to blush over its vice the Church has lost her power to weep over it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
