More quotes by 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 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
Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.
Vance Havner
A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.
Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
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 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
Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
Vance Havner
Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
Vance Havner
It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable it is our duty to make it available.
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
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
We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.
Vance Havner
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
Vance Havner
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
Vance Havner
There is no devil in the first two chapters of the Bible and no devil in the last two chapters. Thank God for a book that disposes of the devil!
Vance Havner
Faith doesn't wait until it understands in that case it wouldn't be faith.
Vance Havner
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.
Vance Havner
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!
