God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, Children, be like your parents. Jesus said, Parents, be like your children.

More quotes by Vance Havner
The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.
Vance Havner
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.
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
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
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
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
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
Vance Havner
Jesus is all we have he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!
Vance Havner
When Christ possesses the will He keeps it fixed. The trouble comes when we take matters out of His hand and try to handle them ourselves.
Vance Havner
We are fighting the greatest battle of all time with the most untrained army on earth. If strict discipline is necessary in art and athletics, how can we expect to be advanced Christians and stay in kindergarten?
Vance Havner
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
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
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
Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.
Vance Havner
Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.
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
Today I am one day nearer Home than ever before.
Vance Havner
It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
