Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, “Shake well before using.” That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.

Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.

Win Souls for Christ – Vance Havner
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.

Can’t Preach if You Don’t Have – Vance Havner
You can’t preach it like it is if you don’t believe it like it was.

We Need an Awakening – Vance Havner
If the Lord tarries, there may yet be a grass-roots awakening that will overflow all sectarian barriers. There are a host of good people who couldn’t care less about this theologian or that, but who need to rekindle the fire of God within them and who long for a visitation from heaven in old-time power. The kindling wood is scattered all around in all the churches. May God help us to rake off the ashes, uncover the live coals and may He blow upon us with the breath of His Spirit!

We Need Conviction – Vance Havner
There is a lot of soft, sentimental talk about Him today that brings no conviction. When Isaiah saw the Lord, he did not feel comfortable! Neither did Habakkuk nor Daniel nor Paul nor John. We want a picture of Him today that does not disturb us, that smiles at sin, and winks at iniquity. I remember a man who told me he wanted to hear no hell-fire sermons but rather about the meek and lowly Jesus. Yet the poor man did not seem to realize that the meek and lowly Jesus said more about hell than is reported from the lips of anyone else in the Bible! We need a true and complete vision of God in His holiness and Christ in His glory that will bring us to repentance.

Are You Prepared? – Vance Havner
The devil doesnt mind how many sermons we preach or prepare if it will keep us from preparing ourselves.

An Available Message – Vance Havner
It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.

Fire in Sermons – Vance Havner
Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
