Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
Vance Havner
Make Jesus Christ your theme! I have seen preachers espouse causes and champion movements, and when the cause died and the movement collapsed, the preacher vanished too. But the man who glories in Christ never grows stale.

It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.
Vance Havner
Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.

Vance Havner
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
Vance Havner
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
Vance Havner
Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.
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
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
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
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
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
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
Vance Havner
One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.
