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.

More quotes by Leonard Ravenhill
They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.
Leonard Ravenhill
If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
Leonard Ravenhill
Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.
Leonard Ravenhill
When you’re sitting in a dark room, you can either sit and curse the darkness—or you can light a candle.
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
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
God asks the best we have Because He gave the Best He had.
Leonard Ravenhill
The highway of Christian living is strewn with has-beens.
Leonard Ravenhill
We have adopted the convenient theory that the Bible is a Book to be explained, whereas first and foremost it is a Book to be believed (and after that to be obeyed.)
Leonard Ravenhill
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
Leonard Ravenhill
It is much easier to wear a cross than to bear a cross.
Leonard Ravenhill
The self-sufficient does not pray, the self-satisfied will not pray, the self-righteous cannot pray. No man is greater than his prayer life.
Leonard Ravenhill
Quit playing, start praying. Quit feasting, start fasting. Talk less with men, talk more with God. Listen less to men, listen to the words of God. Skip travel, start travail.
Leonard Ravenhill
We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.
Leonard Ravenhill
A true shepherd leads the way. He does not merely point the way.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Cinderella of the church of today is the prayer meeting.
Leonard Ravenhill
The Sunday morning service shows how popular your church is. The evening services show how popular your pastor is. Your private prayer time shows you how popular God is!
Leonard Ravenhill
Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!
Leonard Ravenhill
If Thou canst do something with us and through us, then please, God, do something without us! Bypass us and take up a people who now know Thee not!
Leonard Ravenhill
A saint is good when nobody is looking.
