Vance Havner
When a man makes alliance with the Almighty, giants look like grasshoppers.
Vance Havner
Too many church services start at eleven sharp and end at twelve dull.
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.
