Leonard Ravenhill (6)

In the church in Acts, the Scripture says they were all amazed, but today, everyone just wants to be amused.
Our spiritual immaturity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the choir members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the choir master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shopwindow to display one's talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off.
I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified. Godcast(36)
