More quotes by Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
Vance Havner
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
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
You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
Vance Havner
I would just as soon listen to a gangster lecture on honesty as watch Hollywood portray the Bible.
Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it's growing brighter. It's possible to fraternize with unbelievers until false doctrine becomes less and less objectionable.
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 devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
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've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to grow in grace and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
Vance Havner
The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
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.
Vance Havner
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
Vance Havner
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Vance Havner
The alternative to discipline is disaster
