C. T. Studd, Jim Elliot, and Leonard Ravenhill Quotes

Here are some of my favorite quotes from men of God in the past. Please take the time to read them all.


"Before the world, aye, before the sleepy, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God, we will venture our all for Him, we will live and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts."
-C. T. Studd


“How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.” 
-C. T. Studd


"God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him."
-Jim Ellliot



"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."
-Jim Elliot


“We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the Twentieth Century does not reckon with. But we are "harmless," and therefore unharmed. We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle-to-the-death with principalities and powers in high places. Meekness must be had for contact with men, but brass, outspoken boldness is required to take part in the comradeship of the Cross. We are "sideliners" -- coaching and criticizing the real wrestlers while content to sit by and leave the enemies of God unchallenged. The world cannot hate us, we are too much like its own. Oh that God would make us dangerous!”
-Jim Elliot



“If we are the sheep of His pasture, remember that sheep are headed for the altar.”
-Jim Elliot



"God is taking His hands off of America. We've had so much light and we've rejected it."
-Leonard Ravenhill


"Once inside eternity, we'r e going to be very embarrassed at the smallness of our faith."
-Leonard Ravenhill


"You can't offend a man that's filled with the Spirit."
-Leonard Ravenhill



"Christ will not stand competition. This vain world should have no pull on us at any level at all."
-Leonard Ravenhill


"You can't say, "Christ is all I need," until Christ is all you have."
-Leonard Ravenhill
