Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.

At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.
Vance Havner
Image
Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.
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
We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.

Image
We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism we died with Christ and rose to new life.

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!

Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
Vance Havner
Image
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

A preacher who is too big for a little crowd would be too little for a big crowd.
Vance Havner
Image
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.

Image
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.
Vance Havner
Image
Simply wait upon Him. So doing, we shall be directed, supplied, protected, corrected, and rewarded.
Vance Havner
Image
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
Image
We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.

Image
The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.

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

It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.
