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
The most fervent prayer meetings are in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
Leonard Ravenhill
I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.
Leonard Ravenhill
Better for you to have one sleepless night on earth than millions in hell.
Leonard Ravenhill
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
Leonard Ravenhill
If you kneel before God, you will stand before men.
Leonard Ravenhill
Gethsemane is where He died the cross is only the evidence.
Leonard Ravenhill
If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.
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
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
God has to work in a man before He can work through a man.
Leonard Ravenhill
Preaching affects men prayer affects God. Preaching affects time prayer affects eternity
Leonard Ravenhill
No church group that knows spiritual warfare has wiener roasts or even passion plays. There is a real warfare. I have said before that we are an arrogant, self-styled bunch of believers. We believe to the point of inconvenience - and then quit.
Leonard Ravenhill
The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.
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.
Leonard Ravenhill
The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.
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
Faith that is going to be trusted is going to be tested.
Leonard Ravenhill
Finney preached and sometimes the whole congregation would get up and leave! that's good preaching.
