Image
Satan is not fighting churches he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition.
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
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
Image
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
Vance Havner
Image
A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.

If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.

Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.

You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
