More quotes by Vance Havner
It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.
Vance Havner
To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.
Vance Havner
The devil's not fighting churches today, he's joining churches.
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.
Vance Havner
When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.
Vance Havner
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
Vance Havner
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
Vance Havner
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
Vance Havner
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
Vance Havner
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
Vance Havner
If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
Vance Havner
You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.
Vance Havner
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
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
The alternative to discipline is disaster
Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner
A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.
