Vance Havner sermon outline
We have been saved out of the world; we still must live in the world; we are not of the world; we have been saved to go back into the world to win others out of it, and that is the only business we have in the world!
The Bible records one long continued clash between institutionalized religion and the prophet. Today religion was never more organized, but prophets are scarce. John the Baptist is still no favorite in the courts of Herod.

America is fractured and fragmented into hundreds of little groups wanting their own rights while nobody seems to care what happens to the country. A house divided against itself cannot stand.
Sometimes we drive the automobile into the repair shop and say, "Check the motor." It is time we church workers drove into God's repair shop and asked Him to "check the motive." Why do you do what you do in church?
The https://t.co/W76U0ETAkT website has been updated and you can once again find the devotion and quote of the day. Sorry for the delay but we are back up and running.
We are back up and posting on the Vance Havner facebook page. Usually there are 5-7 posts a week. Follow along. This 20th century prophet said more in one sentence than most of us can say in 3 pages.
Content from Vance Havner including articles, quotes, devotionals + podcasts is available on https://t.co/QX5sgJXseb. As Sherwood Church transitions from one pastor to another, the church will no longer post on this account. Pastor Michael Catt may occasionally post some content.
