When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.

Image
I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.
Vance Havner
Image
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.

Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.

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.

Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.

A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.

Image
The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.

God's Word is its own best argument.
Vance Havner
Image
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.

It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.

Image
I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.

If the devil cannot keep you from being saved, if next he fails to make you backslide, then he undertakes to keep you just an average Christian. Here he succeeds with most believers.

Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
