One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance HavnerToo much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked.
Vance HavnerIf you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
