What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
Vance Havner
Image
When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.
Vance Havner
Image
We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.

Image
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
Image
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
