More quotes by Vance Havner
Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.
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
The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
Vance Havner
Today I am one day nearer Home than ever before.
Vance Havner
Blessed is that Christian who can accept at the start by simple faith that which others reach only through years of questioning and reach it only then because they give up trying to analyze it and decide to accept it.
Vance Havner
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
Vance Havner
Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
Vance Havner
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.
Vance Havner
It is one thing to say Jesus is all you want until He is all you have and you discover He is all you ever needed.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
Humility is not thinking meanly of oneself, but rather it means not thinking of oneself at all.
Vance Havner
Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.
Vance Havner
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Vance Havner
A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.
Vance Havner
Adam tried to hide behind the trees in the garden. There is only one tree that can hide us from Him and that is the tree of the cross.
Vance Havner
A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.
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
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
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
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!
