“Is it less than blasphemy to sing songs on Sunday such as
“All that thrills my soul is Jesus”
but spend hours a week at ball parks or
before a T.V. trying to ‘get a kick’ out of life?”
– Leonard Ravenhill, from his book Meat for Men

“Though swordless, these soldiers of Christ fought the might of imperial Rome and won…
Unlettered they unblushingly declared the whole counsel of God and eventually staggered the intellectual Greeks.”

“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

Perhaps we should get near Patrick Henry’s language this way: “Is life’s span so dear and are home comforts so engrossing as to be purchased with my unfaithfulness and dry-eyed prayerlessness? At the final bar of God, shall the perishing millions accuse me of materialism coated with a few Scripture verses?
“Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, GIVE ME REVIVAL in my soul, in my church and in my nation—or GIVE ME DEATH.”
– Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries (Minneapolis: Bethany Fellowship Inc, 1959), 166.
Leonard Ravenhill died this date, 11/27/1994. He was born June 18, 1907, at Leeds, Yorkshire, England. He married Martha, an Irish nurse, in 1939 and twenty yeares later the Ravenhills moved to the United States eventually making their home in Texas.
