More quotes by 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
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
Vance Havner
We've learned how to lengthen life, but we don't know how to deepen it.
Vance Havner
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
Vance Havner
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it is growing brighter.
Vance Havner
Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.
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
We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.
Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
We need to take down our Do not disturb signs... snap out of our stupor and come out of our coma and awake from our apathy.
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
The middle of the road is a poor place to walk. It is a poor place to drive. It is a poor place to live.
Vance Havner
If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
Vance Havner
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
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
Vance Havner
The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.
Vance Havner
If the church would only be the church- if Christians would only be Christians- nothing could halt our onward march.
