The Great Sweeping Revivals of the Past – Leonard Ravenhill

I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” and I said, “No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!”

Can You Sit At Ease? – Leonard Ravenhill

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?
Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?

No Such Things as a Saved Sinner – Leonard Ravenhill

You know, people say that today. “Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief. … You are either saved or you are a sinner.

The Law of Prayer – Leonard Ravenhill

The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly; sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

Speak of Christ But Do Not Trust Him – Leonard Ravenhill

Men build our churches but do not enter them, print our Bibles but do not read them, talk about God but do not believe Him, speak of Christ but do not trust Him for salvation, sing our hymns and then forget them.
