More quotes by Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
What we love usually manages to get into our conversation. What is down in the well of the heart will come up in the bucket of the speech.
Vance Havner
If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.
Vance Havner
Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.
Vance Havner
The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
Vance Havner
If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
Vance Havner
Let it never be forgotten that, although we may do nothing about the Word we hear, the Word will do something to us. The same sun melts ice and hardens clay, and the Word of God humbles or hardens the human heart.
Vance Havner
Any man who takes Jesus Christ seriously becomes the target of the devil. Most church members do not give Satan enough trouble to arouse his opposition
Vance Havner
To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.
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
Self, service, substance is the Divine order and nothing counts until we give ourselves.
Vance Havner
Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.
Vance Havner
If we don't come apart we will come apart.
Vance Havner
Most of the notable turn out to be the not-able. God's greatest truths still belong to babes.
Vance Havner
Adam tried to hide behind the trees in the garden. There is only one tree that can hide us from Him and that is the tree of the cross.
Vance Havner
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.
Vance Havner
I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.
Vance Havner
Nothing is needed so much as a holy indignation against sin. It is true that there is not enough love for God, and one sign of it is that there is not enough hatred for sin.
Vance Havner
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
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!
