Before we can strengthen believers or win the lost, we must be converted from the self-life to the Christ-life. . . Not I, but Christ.

I would just as soon listen to a gangster lecture on honesty as watch Hollywood portray the Bible.

Image
Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.
Vance Havner
Image
It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable it is our duty to make it available.
Vance Havner
Image
One cannot help the evil thoughts that come, but it is the thoughts we cultivate that make the difference between good or evil. We don't have to open the door to the devil and say, Make yourself at home.
Vance Havner
Image
We justify ourselves when we should judge ourselves. If we learned humility, it might spare us the humiliation.

Image
A picture of Christ was hung in the back of a pulpit. When the minister rose to speak one Sunday morning, a little boy asked his mother, 'Mother, who is that man who stands so we can't see Jesus?'

Image
What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk.
Vance Havner
Image
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.

Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
