More quotes by Vance Havner
Adam tried to hide behind the trees in the garden. There is only one tree that can hide us from Him and that is the tree of the cross.
Vance Havner
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
Vance Havner
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
Vance Havner
Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.
Vance Havner
Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.
Vance Havner
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
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
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
Vance Havner
What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
A revival is the church falling in love with Jesus Christ all over again.
Vance Havner
In other days people chose a church on the basis of their doctrinal convictions. Now, lacking doctrinal convictions, they choose for social reasons.
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
Today I am one day nearer Home than ever before.
Vance Havner
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
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
When I pastored a country church, a farmer didn't like the sermons I preached on hell. He said, Preach about the meek and lowly Jesus. I said, That's where I got my information about hell.
Vance Havner
You can't preach it like it is if you don't believe it like it was.
