More quotes by Vance Havner
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
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 temple of truth has never suffered so much from woodpeckers on the outside as from termites within.
Vance Havner
If the devil cannot keep you from being saved, if next he fails to make you backslide, then he undertakes to keep you just an average Christian. Here he succeeds with most believers.
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
We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste.
Vance Havner
An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.
Vance Havner
Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
Vance Havner
When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.
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
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
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
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
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
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
Most people would not want to live where there are no churches but many people live as though there were no churches.
