More quotes by Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
Vance Havner
No man can be a Christian by knowingly and willfully taking Christ on the installment plan, as Savior now, and Lord later.
Vance Havner
There are no trivial assignments in the work of the Lord.
Vance Havner
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to grow in grace and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
Vance Havner
We are fighting the greatest battle of all time with the most untrained army on earth. If strict discipline is necessary in art and athletics, how can we expect to be advanced Christians and stay in kindergarten?
Vance Havner
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
Vance Havner
It is one thing to say Jesus is all you want until He is all you have and you discover He is all you ever needed.
Vance Havner
If the fire of hell is not literal, it is worse than actual fire, and if the gates of the Celestial City are not actual gold, they are far finer.
Vance Havner
There is no devil in the first two chapters of the Bible and no devil in the last two chapters. Thank God for a book that disposes of the devil!
Vance Havner
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!
Vance Havner
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
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.
Vance Havner
A true preacher is best measured not by how many bouquets have been pinned on him but by how many brickbats have been pitched at him. Prophets have been on the receiving end of mud more than medals.
Vance Havner
A preacher who is too big for a little crowd would be too little for a big crowd.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
Vance Havner
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
Vance Havner
The preacher who jests and jokes with his people all week will soon find that he cannot stand in his pulpit on Sunday with power to reprove, rebuke and exhort. He may be the life of the party but it will be the death of the prophet.
