More quotes by Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
I can conceive of no greater, more romantic and interesting adventure than to undertake to live like Jesus in this complicated day.
Vance Havner
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
Any man who takes Jesus Christ seriously becomes the target of the devil. Most church members do not give Satan enough trouble to arouse his opposition
Vance Havner
Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.
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

Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
Vance Havner
God has a place and purpose for you, somewhere for you to be and something for you to do. You never will be happy elsewhere, nor can you please God anywhere but there.
Vance Havner
It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable it is our duty to make it available.
Vance Havner
It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner
Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
Vance Havner
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to grow in grace and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
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
The devil is not fighting religion. He´s too smart for that. He is producing a counterfeit Christianity, so much like the real one that good Christians are afraid to speak out against it.
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.
