The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.
Vance Havner
Image
Christians, like snowflakes, are frail, but when they stick together they can stop traffic.
Vance Havner
Image
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.

Image
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
Vance Havner
Image
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
Image
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

I'm tired of hearing sin called sickness and alcoholism a disease. It is the only disease I know of that we're spending hundreds of millions of dollars a year to spread.

Image
It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.
Vance Havner
Image
Too many are not willing to give the Gospel a fair trial. They are too ignorant to speak wisely but not wise enough to speak ignorantly. A man is not a sinner because he is a skeptic he is a skeptic because he is a sinner.
Vance Havner
Image
Another thing I liked about my Dad at church: he did his sleeping at home. He never used the church as an adult nursery.
Vance Havner
Image
You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
Vance Havner
Image
Revival precedes evangelism. The church must first repent. This is the blind spot in our eye today.
Vance Havner
Image
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
Vance Havner
Image
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
Vance Havner
Image
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
Image
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
Image
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!
