More quotes by Vance Havner
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
Vance Havner
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
Vance Havner
It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable it is our duty to make it available.
Vance Havner
Make Jesus Christ your theme! I have seen preachers espouse causes and champion movements, and when the cause died and the movement collapsed, the preacher vanished too. But the man who glories in Christ never grows stale.
Vance Havner
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
Where are the marks of the cross in your life? Are there any points of identification with your Lord? Alas, too many Christians wear medals but carry no scars.
Vance Havner
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
Vance Havner
Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.
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
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
Vance Havner
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
Vance Havner
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
Vance Havner
The devil's not fighting churches today, he's joining churches.
Vance Havner
It is one thing to say Jesus is all you want until He is all you have and you discover He is all you ever needed.
Vance Havner
Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.
Vance Havner
We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.
Vance Havner
Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.
Vance Havner
No man can be a Christian by knowingly and willfully taking Christ on the installment plan, as Savior now, and Lord later.
Vance Havner
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
