Men fear today to speak out on crucial matters for fear of being called extremists. It is the strategy of the devil to keep good people silent in an evil time. Speak out against communism and you are branded a wild rightist. Expose false doctrine in the church and you are called a witch hunter, a member of some splinter group of extreme fundamentalism. Some of us are resolved to speak our piece. We are members of no clique or clan. We would not be caught dead in some of them. We are Americans and we are Christians., and we will not aid or abet the enemy by silence when men ought to be heard.

- Vance Havner, 1969
