More quotes by Vance Havner
Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.
Vance Havner
We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.
Vance Havner
There was a time when ministers spoke forthrightly and named things. We don't name anything anymore. Finney had a sermon on How to Preach so as to Convert Nobody. He said 'Preach on sin but never mention any of the sins of your congregation - that will do it.'
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 need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
Vance Havner
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
Vance Havner
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
Self, service, substance is the Divine order and nothing counts until we give ourselves.
Vance Havner
Most church members live so far below the standard, you would have to backslide to be in fellowship with them.
Vance Havner
I'm convinced that a large percentage of people that we call worldly Christians are perhaps not Christian to begin with and that may be the trouble.
Vance Havner
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
Every Christian is a priest, not offering a sacrifice for sins - since that has been done once and for all - but offering his person, praise and possessions.
Vance Havner
What our Lord said about cross-bearing and obedience is not in fine type. It is in bold print on the face of the contract.
Vance Havner
The Word of God is either absolute or obsolete.
Vance Havner
There is no devil in the first two chapters of the Bible and no devil in the last two chapters. Thank God for a book that disposes of the devil!
Vance Havner
God isn't a talent scout looking for someone who is good enough or strong enough. He is looking for someone with a heart set on Him, and He will do the rest.
Vance Havner
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
