Vance Havner
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
Vance Havner
I wouldn't cross the street to hear Ingersoll preach on the mistakes of Moses, but I'd love to hear Moses preach on the mistakes of Ingersoll!
Vance Havner
What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
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 justify ourselves when we should judge ourselves. If we learned humility, it might spare us the humiliation.
Vance Havner
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave-with both ends kicked out.
Vance Havner
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
