More quotes by Vance Havner
There is great need today for the New Testament prophet who speaks to edification, exhortation, and comfort, a strengthening, stirring and soothing ministry.
Vance Havner
Jesus is all we have he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!
Vance Havner
There are no trivial assignments in the work of the Lord.
Vance Havner
We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.
Vance Havner
The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
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
A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.
Vance Havner
God isn't a talent scout looking for someone who is good enough or strong enough. He is looking for someone with a heart set on Him, and He will do the rest.
Vance Havner
When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.
Vance Havner
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
No amount of facts in his head can compensate for the lack of fire on his lips.
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
I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.
Vance Havner
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
Vance Havner
Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.
Vance Havner
Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
Vance Havner
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
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
Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
