More quotes by Vance Havner
It is not our business to make the message acceptable, but to make it available. We are not to see that they like it, but that they get it.
Vance Havner
Jesus is all we have he is all we need and all we want. We are shipwrecked on God and stranded on omnipotence!
Vance Havner
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
If the devil cannot keep you from being saved, if next he fails to make you backslide, then he undertakes to keep you just an average Christian. Here he succeeds with most believers.
Vance Havner
We are not to be isolated but insulated, moving in the midst of evil but untouched by it.
Vance Havner
One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.

Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.
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
God is on the lookout today for a man who will be quiet enough to get a message from Him, brave enough to preach it, and honest enough to live it.
Vance Havner
Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.
Vance Havner
No nation can last long when it stops praying and takes up playing.
Vance Havner
Faith doesn't wait until it understands in that case it wouldn't be faith.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man - His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God - when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.
Vance Havner
If I had only one sermon to preach it would be on the Lordship of Christ. When we get right on that point we are right all down the line. God honors the exaltation of His Son.
