“The church – Leonard Ravenhill

 

“The church used to be a lightning bolt,

now it’s a cruise ship.

We are not marching to Zion –

we are sailing there with ease.

In the apostolic church it says they were all amazed –

and now in our churches everybody wants to be amused.

The church began in the upper room with a bunch of men agonizing, and

it’s ending in the supper room with a bunch of people organizing.

We mistake rattle for revival, and commotion for creation, and action for unction. “

– Leonard Ravenhill, as quoted in Survivalblog.com
