The devil is not fighting religion. He's too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.

We live in an epidemic of this itch, and popular preachers have developed “ear-tickling” into a fine art. — Vance Havner

But a few hours later when they put the list in the Cunard office in New York, it carried only two categories - lost and saved. Grim tragedy had leveled all distinctions. — Vance Havner
