When you’re sitting in a dark room, you can either sit and curse the darkness—or you can light a candle.
Leonard Ravenhill
Everyone wants to be clothed but no one wants to be stripped.
Leonard Ravenhill
The darker it gets, the brighter your light will shine.

The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.
Leonard Ravenhill
We're living in an unprecedented day (when) evil is no longer evil. We've changed the terminology-- iniquity is now infirmity wickedness is now weakness devilry is now deficiency.
Leonard Ravenhill
Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.
Leonard Ravenhill
Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching is not a profession, it’s a passion
Leonard Ravenhill
The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete.
Leonard Ravenhill
The only power that God yields to is that of prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
Finney preached and sometimes the whole congregation would get up and leave! that's good preaching.
Leonard Ravenhill
Prayer is no substitute for work equally true is it that work is no substitute for prayer.
Leonard Ravenhill
To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.
Leonard Ravenhill
Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.
