The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.

More quotes by Vance Havner
The primary qualification for a missionary is not love for souls, as we so often hear, but love for Christ.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.
Vance Havner
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
Vance Havner
A wife who is 85 percent faithful to her husband is not faithful at all. There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
Vance Havner
Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.

Simply wait upon Him. So doing, we shall be directed, supplied, protected, corrected, and rewarded.

If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
Vance Havner
When God's people are removed from this earth, you might as well try to dam up Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stem the flood of lawlessness that will engulf mankind. Thank God for the restraining Spirit today!
Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
Vance Havner
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
Vance Havner
A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.
Vance Havner
There are many who say they want to be victorious Christians, but few are willing to endure the discipline necessary to make one a good solider of Jesus Christ. There is a prize to possess, but before we possess it there is a price to be paid, and few will pay it.
Vance Havner
Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
