There is therefore, now no conviction to those who are in Christ Jesus.... (did you notice this is a misquote?)
These are just some quotes from Leonard Ravenhill to think about.
The Church used to be a lifeboat rescuing the perishing. Now she is a cruise ship recruiting the promising.
Today Christians spend more money on dog food than missions.
If I was to ask you tonight if you were saved? Do you say 'Yes, I am saved'. When? 'Oh so and so preached, I got baptized and...' Are you saved? What are you saved from, hell? Are you saved from bitterness? Are you saved from lust? Are you saved from cheating? Are you saved from lying? Are you saved from bad manners? Are you saved from rebellion against your parents? Come on, what are you saved from?
Today's church wants to be raptured from responsibility.
How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don't even have the strength to turn off your TV?
Children can tell you what Channel 7 says, but not what Matthew 7 says.
Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!
The early church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.
The church is supposed to do what? To stop corruption? Is the church doing that? No! The world is corrupting the church!
I wish, in America, (that) we were as concerned about separation from church and sin as we are about separation between church and state. Church and sin-- it's a monstrous problem.
I'm sick to death of the so-called Christianity of our day. What's supernatural about it? When do people come out of the sanctuary awed and can't speak for an hour because God has been in glory there? Dear God, as soon as they get out, they're talking football, or sports or something or there's going to be a big sale downtown or somewhere. We are not caught up into eternity!
What are you going to do when you get to eternity, if you can't stick in an hour with God down here? In God's name, what are you going to do in a million year s in God's presence? Expect some reports from earth about football or something?
