Vance Havner
We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.
Vance Havner
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
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
