(Clip) We Need Hell-Fire Preaching on Repentance — Leonard Ravenhill

Repentance in the Preaching of John

Here's a little strange man with a leather girdle around his loins and old camel skin around his neck and people are swarming from everywhere. What does he say? Read the four laws He uses that word. Nobody likes repent.

Hell-Fire Preaching and Genuine Repentance

You know, we're preaching an acceptable gospel today make it as painless as we can. And all we do is give people a shot to put them to sleep. So they'll get to hell quicker. We need some hellfire preaching on repentance.

Repentance as Leaving Sin

One old definition says repentance is to leave. The sin I've done before I'm sure that I in earnest grieve. By doing it no more. If a man is genuinely born again, all things pass away all old things pass away and all things become new.

The New Birth and Radical Heart Transformation

If any man anywhere at any time being Christ He may be the most twisted perverted carnal cruel stinking man in the whole world but if the miracle of regeneration comes in him, he gets a new heart a new mind a new spirit a New in look a new outlook new everything we've forgotten about the majesty of the new birth.

Empty Profession and the Lack of Genuine Conversion

People just nod their head and say the sinner's prayer and go straight to hell down the aisle of a after they believe their head on the shoulder of the past. You know, I doubt if 5 of professing Christians in America are born again.

The Departed Glory of the Church

I'm astounded bewildered confused baffled when people tell me in America We've 75 million people filled with the Holy Ghost and with the rottenest nation on earth. Come on, but the glory is departed. I'm convinced that when Jesus stood in a temple that day he was thinking of the day when the glory of God filled the temple.

Solomon's Temple and the Glory of God

Do you remember the time when Solomon stood there and the glory came down and the priest could not minister for the glory of God. In God's name when are we going to see that? Do you know why we don't cry and weep and feel our bowels at all in our livers because we've never seen the glory of God.

Doctrinal Treadmills Without Spiritual Passion

That's why We're content to spread the theological doctrinal treadmill until we're wearing we drop into bed tired out. We haven't departed. When I order there isn't an angel Gabriel. Or my Mike that nobody could say we deviated from the truth of Baptist teaching or Pentecostal teaching or somebody else's teaching.

Truth, Brokenness, and the Limits of Mere Knowledge

We have no passion. We have no brokenness. Why should I preach to you? God knows I'm adding condemnation to you tonight. You can't handle the truth. You've already got you've had it for five or ten years.

You can't handle it. Why should I bring you more truth?
