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
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!
Vance Havner
When I pastored a country church, a farmer didn't like the sermons I preached on hell. He said, Preach about the meek and lowly Jesus. I said, That's where I got my information about hell.
Vance Havner
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
Vance Havner
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man - His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God - when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.
Vance Havner
The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
Vance Havner
You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
Vance Havner
If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.
Vance Havner
The last word of our Lord to the church was not the Great Commission. The last thing He said to the church was 'Repent.' He said that to five out of seven.
Vance Havner
I'm convinced that a large percentage of people that we call worldly Christians are perhaps not Christian to begin with and that may be the trouble.
Vance Havner
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
Vance Havner
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.
Vance Havner
God isn't a talent scout looking for someone who is good enough or strong enough. He is looking for someone with a heart set on Him, and He will do the rest.
Vance Havner
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
Vance Havner
Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
Vance Havner
You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
Vance Havner
An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
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.
