More quotes by Vance Havner
There are no trivial assignments in the work of the Lord.
Vance Havner
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
Vance Havner
Satan is not fighting churches he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition.
Vance Havner
We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.
Vance Havner
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
Vance Havner
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
Vance Havner
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.
Vance Havner
Where are the marks of the cross in your life? Are there any points of identification with your Lord? Alas, too many Christians wear medals but carry no scars.
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
Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
Vance Havner
It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.
Vance Havner
The last word of our Lord to the church was not the Great Commission. The last thing He said to the church was 'Repent.' He said that to five out of seven.
Vance Havner
Simply wait upon Him. So doing, we shall be directed, supplied, protected, corrected, and rewarded.
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
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
Vance Havner
Too many are not willing to give the Gospel a fair trial. They are too ignorant to speak wisely but not wise enough to speak ignorantly. A man is not a sinner because he is a skeptic he is a skeptic because he is a sinner.
