More quotes by Vance Havner

Vance Havner
Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
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.
Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it is growing brighter.
Vance Havner
God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, Children, be like your parents. Jesus said, Parents, be like your children.
Vance Havner
Too many Christians are stuffing themselves with gospel blessings while millions have never had a taste.
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
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
