Classic Quotes from Leonard Ravenhill

  • We'll have no broken hearted pews, until we have broken hearted pulpits.
  • Unless we allow the Lord to empty us, there is no filling.
  • In the early church they were all amazed (by what God was doing).  In the modern church we want to be amused  (by what we want God to do).
  • In the early church their power was electrifying, in the modern church our power is electronic.
  • In churches today there's more fashion than passion.
  • The modern church/saint is quick to join a committee, but slow to join a commitment.
  • Most committees spend hours making Minutes.
  • The Bible does not say we lost our first love, it says we left out first love.
  • The problem is not getting us to the Cross, it's getting us on the Cross.
  • We want to organise, while God wants us to agonise.
  • Church unity comes from corporate humility.
  • The world's outlook is extremely grim, but the Christians' up-look is extremely glorious.
  • We've got Muslims ready to die for their faith, and Christians who are not ready to live for ours.
