You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.

The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
Vance Havner
Image
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.

Image
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.

Image
When Christ possesses the will He keeps it fixed. The trouble comes when we take matters out of His hand and try to handle them ourselves.

Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.

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.

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

Image
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
Vance Havner
Image
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
Vance Havner
Image
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.

Image
The world does not hate its own. It does hate our Lord. It hates His followers. Where do you belong in this lineup?

Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.

Image
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.

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.
