More quotes by Vance Havner
The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.
Vance Havner
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
Vance Havner
If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.
Vance Havner
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
Vance Havner
When we are weakest and most despondent, Jesus is most considerate. When there is a break in our progress or we have a spell of depression, he sees the whole of our lives and in the light of that He is longsuffering with discordant details.
Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it's growing brighter. It's possible to fraternize with unbelievers until false doctrine becomes less and less objectionable.
Vance Havner
The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
I suspect that much of our praying to be used is selfish, and underneath it is the sneaking desire to make our mark and be recognized.
Vance Havner
We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste.
Vance Havner
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
Vance Havner
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
Vance Havner
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
Vance Havner
There is great need today for the New Testament prophet who speaks to edification, exhortation, and comfort, a strengthening, stirring and soothing ministry.
Vance Havner
We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism we died with Christ and rose to new life.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.
Vance Havner
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
