More quotes by Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
Vance Havner
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Vance Havner
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
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
Vance Havner
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
Vance Havner
We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism we died with Christ and rose to new life.
Vance Havner
What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
Vance Havner
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Vance Havner
Christ is most concerned with the direction in which you habitually are going and not with a spasmodic eruption either good or bad.
Vance Havner
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
Vance Havner
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
Vance Havner
There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens.
Vance Havner
A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.
Vance Havner
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
Vance Havner
We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.
Vance Havner
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.
