Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner
If you would try out a preacher, send him to preach to farmers: if he cannot make the grade there, let him reconsider his call - or maybe he needs to be converted.
Vance Havner
A picture of Christ was hung in the back of a pulpit. When the minister rose to speak one Sunday morning, a little boy asked his mother, 'Mother, who is that man who stands so we can't see Jesus?'
Vance Havner
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
Vance Havner
