More quotes by Vance Havner
Revival precedes evangelism. The church must first repent. This is the blind spot in our eye today.
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.

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
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner

Most people would not want to live where there are no churches but many people live as though there were no churches.
Vance Havner
If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.
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
What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk.
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
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
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
Every Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions.
