We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.

Vance Havner
Image
Worse than blind leaders of the blind are bland leaders of the bland.
Vance Havner
Image
We are not going to move this world by criticism of it nor conformity to it, but by the combustion within it of lives ignited by the Spirit of God.
Vance Havner
Image
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
Image
Revival precedes evangelism. The church must first repent. This is the blind spot in our eye today.
Vance Havner
Image
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
Vance Havner
Image
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
Vance Havner
Image
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
