Saints,

A brother is doing a documentary and is trying to find a clip from a Ravenhill sermon, see below:

---
I wanted to ask you if you recall what sermon Leonard Ravenhill made the statement to the effect of, "Christianity is like a do-it-yourself kit. God gives you the pieces, but you've got to put it together." David Ravenhill mentioned this quote in our interview and I thought it would be a appropriate to get the audio from that. If anybody knows which sermon that was in (maybe many sermons),

Please share if you find anything or know anything close to this.

Just bringing this back up in case someone found the reference, I remember Ravenhill saying something like: "you are as holy as you want to be" (not the exact words perhaps).

Greetings Greg. I wonder if the quote you are looking for might actually be from J Oswald Sanders, Intimacy With God. The quote I'm thinking of is, "You may not be as close to God as you want to be but you are as close to God as you have chosen to be."

I also very distinctly remember Bro. Keith Daniel saying "You are as holy as you want to be" on more than one occasion. I believe he has a sermon called, "Be Ye Holy". Maybe it is in there. Maybe he was quoting Ravenhill, I don't know, but I know I have heard him say it.

Ravenhill says that quote in many sermons. I haven't listened to it lately but it is probably in the long interview:

**Long Interview of Leonard Ravenhill by David Mainse by Leonard Ravenhill
Topic: Revival\t
Description: This is a recording that includes 15 minute radio show interviews from the show "the chapel of the air" run by David Mains. David Mains interviews Leonard Ravenhill with the aim of first the local church then the seminaries then religion as seen and heard on television and radio. The underlining theme is revival throughout all of the conversations. Leonard Ravenhill did many phone interviews especially in times that he was recovering from sickness and was constrained from preaching but rather to stay in his home.
