More quotes by Vance Havner
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk.
Vance Havner
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
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.
Vance Havner
The world does not hate its own. It does hate our Lord. It hates His followers. Where do you belong in this lineup?
Vance Havner
A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.
Vance Havner
Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
