here are some comments:

I disagree with Ravenhill on a handful of theological issues, but I'd LOVE to see a whole army of his ilk raised up to preach to this crazy world we live in.
I have a feeling there *is* a group of preachers following in his footsteps, but you'll never see thm in our big-name churches anymore.

Here is the printed version of that sermon by Mr. Ravenhill:
The Judgment Seat of Christ
By Leonard Ravenhill

and here is another one that goes with it:
Your Day in Court
By Leonard Ravenhill

I read them nearly 25 years ago and they had a lasting impact on me. To think that I will appear, that we will all appear, before Almighty God, the Creator of all that is, in all of His majestic glory, leaves me awe struck.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

One notable aspect of Ravenhill's sermon, and I think pastors and preachers today would do well to emulate; is that he was not timid about mentioning names in political or religious institutions. His mixture of these names with Scripture was directly related to sin issues, such as lying and the teaching of false Biblical doctrines.
Unlike what we just witnessed with the conference put on by Rick Warren who opened his pulpit to known politicians for dialogue, Ravenhill brought in, and pointed the finger directly at, the names only of people who had been caught in lies which threatened his flock.
He was able to make a distinction between literal and spiritual interpretation of Scriptures. I applaud him for tackling the Revelation message which I think is such a necessary message, especially for Christians today.

What is truly needed in this hour is not another evangical superstar promoting another wind of doctrine but the Holy Spirit of Living GOD convicting us of our true standing as he did with Isaiah before a HOLY and RIGHTEOUS GOD.
