We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.
Vance Havner
God's Word is its own best argument.
Vance Havner
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.

People used to blush when they were ashamed. Now they are ashamed if they blush. Modesty has disappeared and a brazen generation with no fear of God before its eyes mocks at sin. We are so fond of being called tolerant and broadminded that we wink at sin when we ought to weep.
Vance Havner
Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
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
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
I'm tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread.
Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
Where God guides He provides. He is not responsible for expenses not on His schedule. He does not foot the bill when we leave His itinerary.
Vance Havner
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
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
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.
