“Many pastors criticize me for taking the Gospel so seriously. But do they really think that on Judgment Day, Christ will chastise me, saying, ‘Leonard, you took Me too seriously’?”
- Leonard Ravenhill.
"The fundamental difference between many of us and the rich young ruler is this: He believed what Jesus said was required of him to inherit eternal life and walked away sadly, while we don't believe what Jesus said was required of us to inherit life and walk
away rejoicing in our self deception."
- Brother David.
"Are you saying that there is a price to pay to follow Jesus? I can't just believe the right things? I have to actually do something that may encroach upon my comfort zone? Now I remember! I am to pick up my cross daily if I want to be His disciple."
- Dennis Curtis
“Finney never made an altar call within the first twenty eight nights of preaching. Most of our evangelists don’t have twenty eight sermons. Twenty eight nights in a row and he never made an altar
call.
He didn’t preach the love of God. He didn’t say “you’re asinner, God loves you.” He said “God is angry with the wicked every day” (Ps 7:11) which the Word of God says... He didn’t say “you’re a wonderful person” he said “you’re a rebel”.
But he got results. 64% of D. L. Moody's converts backslid, 72% of the converts Finney stood firm because he knew how to attack the human will, not just the emotions.”
- Leonard Ravenhill.
“I don’t believe there is a man on the whole TV that preaches salvation. They preach forgiveness. Forgiveness is not salvation.
They point out “there’s a man in bed with some other man's wife in a Motel". “Oh you know the Lord loves you just as you are.” Well then why get changed? Commit adultery as much as you like. He still loves you.
Be a cheat, be a liar, be a thief, and be a failure.
He still loves you. But there’s a scripture. Isn’t it the Psalms 7….where it says “God is angry with the wicked every day.””
- Leonard Ravenhill.
"1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was."
- Apostle John, John 17
