Vance Havner
Image
God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.
Vance Havner
Image
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
Vance Havner
Image
We justify ourselves when we should judge ourselves. If we learned humility, it might spare us the humiliation.
Vance Havner
Image
You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
Vance Havner
Image
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
