More quotes by Vance Havner
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
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 detour is always rougher than the main road
Vance Havner
There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens.
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
Sin has gotten men into more trouble than science can get him out of.
Vance Havner
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
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
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
Vance Havner
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.
Vance Havner
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave-with both ends kicked out.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
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
Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
Vance Havner
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
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.
