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
Image
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
Vance Havner
Image
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
Vance Havner
Image
Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
Vance Havner
Image
Sin has gotten men into more trouble than science can get him out of.
Vance Havner
Image
Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.
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
When Christ possesses the will He keeps it fixed. The trouble comes when we take matters out of His hand and try to handle them ourselves.
Vance Havner
Image
Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.
Vance Havner
Image
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.

Image
Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.
Vance Havner
Image
It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.
Vance Havner
Image
Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.
Vance Havner
Image
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
Vance Havner
Image
Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.
Vance Havner
Image
More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.
Vance Havner
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Life is like a grain of wheat: to plant it is to recognize its value to keep it is to destroy its value. The 'planted' Christian counts life dear not unto himself but unto God.

One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.
