More quotes by Vance Havner
Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.
Vance Havner
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
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
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
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
Faith has no value of its own, it has value only as it connects us with Him. It is a trick of Satan to get us occupied with examining our faith instead of resting in the Faithful One.
Vance Havner
The real test of your Christianity is not how pious you look at the Lord's table on Sunday, but how you act at the breakfast table at home. If it takes two cups of coffee to make you fit to live with, you had better go to the mourner's bench.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.
Vance Havner
A true preacher is best measured not by how many bouquets have been pinned on him but by how many brickbats have been pitched at him. Prophets have been on the receiving end of mud more than medals.
Vance Havner
When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.
Vance Havner
When God's people are removed from this earth, you might as well try to dam up Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stem the flood of lawlessness that will engulf mankind. Thank God for the restraining Spirit today!
Vance Havner
Christ is most concerned with the direction in which you habitually are going and not with a spasmodic eruption either good or bad.
Vance Havner
Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
Vance Havner
If the fire of hell is not literal, it is worse than actual fire, and if the gates of the Celestial City are not actual gold, they are far finer.
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
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
Vance Havner
I'm convinced that a large percentage of people that we call worldly Christians are perhaps not Christian to begin with and that may be the trouble.
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
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.
