More quotes by Vance Havner
Christ is most concerned with the direction in which you habitually are going and not with a spasmodic eruption either good or bad.
Vance Havner
The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
Vance Havner
Faith has no value of its own, it has value only as it connects us with Him. It is a trick of Satan to get us occupied with examining our faith instead of resting in the Faithful One.
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
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
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
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
Vance Havner
To some Christianity is an argument. To many it is a performance. To a few, it is experience.
Vance Havner
More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.
Vance Havner
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
