Vance Havner
To some Christianity is an argument. To many it is a performance. To a few, it is experience.
Vance Havner
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste.
Vance Havner
The gospel is for lifeboats, not showboats, and a man must make up his mind which boat he is going to operate.
Vance Havner
