More quotes by 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
A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.
Vance Havner
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
Vance Havner
When we sin, we are often upset, not because we have grieved the Spirit but because our pride has been injured.
Vance Havner
The preacher who jests and jokes with his people all week will soon find that he cannot stand in his pulpit on Sunday with power to reprove, rebuke and exhort. He may be the life of the party but it will be the death of the prophet.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
I suspect that much of our praying to be used is selfish, and underneath it is the sneaking desire to make our mark and be recognized.
Vance Havner
If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!

Vance Havner
One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.

Vance Havner
Most people would not want to live where there are no churches but many people live as though there were no churches.
Vance Havner
Worse than blind leaders of the blind are bland leaders of the bland.
Vance Havner
Men seek fame and high places only to learn that they were happier in obscurity
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it's growing brighter. It's possible to fraternize with unbelievers until false doctrine becomes less and less objectionable.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
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
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
One cannot help the evil thoughts that come, but it is the thoughts we cultivate that make the difference between good or evil. We don't have to open the door to the devil and say, Make yourself at home.
Vance Havner
