Lauren inspired me..

I have stacks of scribbled notes everywhere and these are some of the ones I've taped into my journal. They're from Leonard Ravenhill of course...

"Men were never crucified in dozens. One at a time. He'll ask you to do things He asks no on else to do. Pay a price no one else has got to pay."

"Greed in Christian circles today is called prosperity, but it's still greed anyhow."

"We see all these men - Mussolini, wicked fascists, Hitler, Stalin - 4 or 5 men - and we think if we get rid of them we'll clean the world up... The devil isn't short of captains for his army. They're not short of funds. They not short of courage to do the most wicked violent things in the face of the world!!.... So why in Gods name are we so timid?.... Oh Dear...."

"Christianity has not been weighed in the balance and found wanting. Christianity has been tried, found difficult, and rejected! It's not only too difficult for the world - it's too difficult for the church!"

"We should get to the place where God Almighty gives us groanings that cannot be uttered. And that's 100 million miles past praying in tongues! It's an inner grief, it's something that has no language!"

"We will go through trials... Jesus told Peter that he foresaw Satan giving him a time and His response was to pray for him that his faith fail not. He could've told the devil to get off, but rather He prayed that Peters faith not fail!"

I'll post more later.
