More quotes by Vance Havner
It is only the life that is lost for Him that is found in Him.
Vance Havner
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.
Vance Havner
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
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
Abraham did not know where he was going immediately, but he knew where he was going ultimately. He did not know the Whither but he knew the Whom. He believed God, and, being sure of his destiny, he did not worry about his destination.
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
People used to blush when they were ashamed. Now they are ashamed if they blush. Modesty has disappeared and a brazen generation with no fear of God before its eyes mocks at sin. We are so fond of being called tolerant and broadminded that we wink at sin when we ought to weep.
Vance Havner
At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
We are fighting the greatest battle of all time with the most untrained army on earth. If strict discipline is necessary in art and athletics, how can we expect to be advanced Christians and stay in kindergarten?
Vance Havner
Where God guides He provides. He is not responsible for expenses not on His schedule. He does not foot the bill when we leave His itinerary.
Vance Havner
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
It's hard to be optimistic when you have a misty optic.
Vance Havner
When God's people are removed from this earth, you might as well try to dam up Niagara Falls with toothpicks as to stem the flood of lawlessness that will engulf mankind. Thank God for the restraining Spirit today!
Vance Havner
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
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees.
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
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
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.
