More quotes by 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
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
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man - His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God - when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.
Vance Havner
Revival is simply New Testament Christianity, the saints going back to normal.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
Vance Havner
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
Vance Havner
Faith doesn't wait until it understands in that case it wouldn't be faith.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.
Vance Havner
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
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
A deep and sober concern to please God is the rarest of rarities.
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
You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.
Vance Havner
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Vance Havner
We must live in all kinds of days, both high days and low days, in simple dependence upon Christ as the branch on the vine. This is the supreme experience
Vance Havner
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
Vance Havner
God's Word is its own best argument.
Vance Havner
Before we can strengthen believers or win the lost, we must be converted from the self-life to the Christ-life. . . Not I, but Christ.
