Leonard Ravenhill Said He Could Read Hebrews ...
Contributed by Lay Man on Jun 18, 2008 (message contributor)
Leonard Ravenhill said he could read Hebrews eleven everyday and weep over it. “Of whom the world was not worthy!” they wandered around, sojourning as a different race of men. “Not accepting deliverance!” Oh the stubbornness of their testimony and belief in Christ, they were not willing to accept defeat knowing they were serving the Lord Jesus Christ who was victorious. “They were stoned, they were sawn asunder” imagine it! not with a metal saw but wooden saw, can we accept this as normal Christianity? Are we willing to suffer for the Lord that suffered for us?
