More quotes by Vance Havner

Vance Havner
In other days people chose a church on the basis of their doctrinal convictions. Now, lacking doctrinal convictions, they choose for social reasons.
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
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
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
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
Vance Havner
Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.
