If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
Vance Havner
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
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
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.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
Vance Havner
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
Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave-with both ends kicked out.
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
He who waits on God loses no time.
Vance Havner
Most people would not want to live where there are no churches but many people live as though there were no churches.
Vance Havner
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
