The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.

Image
People get so used to the dark that they think it is growing brighter.

To some Christianity is an argument. To many it is a performance. To a few, it is experience.
Vance Havner
Image
We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.

There are no trivial assignments in the work of the Lord.

Image
We need to take down our Do not disturb signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.

Vance Havner
Image
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
Vance Havner
Image
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
Image
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
Vance Havner
Image
There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens.
Vance Havner
Image
Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
Vance Havner
Image
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man - His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God - when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.
Vance Havner
Image
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
Vance Havner
Image
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
Image
There is great need today for the New Testament prophet who speaks to edification, exhortation, and comfort, a strengthening, stirring and soothing ministry.
