Vance Havner
Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.
Vance Havner
Before we can strengthen believers or win the lost, we must be converted from the self-life to the Christ-life. . . Not I, but Christ.
Vance Havner
