FROM "WHY REVIVAL TARRIES"

I read this yesterday and was deeply convicted. May I not fall prey to the first, and may I not fail God's people in the second.

"Satan would have us increase even in Bible knowledge, I believe, as long as we keep from prayer, which the exercise of the instruction we have received through the Word. What use is deeper knowledge if we have shallower hearts?" (Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries, 89).

"Sound doctrine has put most believers sound asleep, for the letter is not enough. It must be kindled! It is the letter plus the Spirit which 'giveth life.' A sound sermon in faultless English and flawless interpretation can be as tasteless as a mouthful of sand." (Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries, 106).
