But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

The world does not believe the Bible and the church does not obey it.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
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.

The apostles had no gold, but lots of glory. We have lots of gold, but no glory.

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

Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.
