More quotes by Vance Havner
Too many are not willing to give the Gospel a fair trial. They are too ignorant to speak wisely but not wise enough to speak ignorantly. A man is not a sinner because he is a skeptic he is a skeptic because he is a sinner.
Vance Havner
Faith has no value of its own, it has value only as it connects us with Him. It is a trick of Satan to get us occupied with examining our faith instead of resting in the Faithful One.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.
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
Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
Vance Havner
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
No man can be a Christian by knowingly and willfully taking Christ on the installment plan, as Savior now, and Lord later.
Vance Havner
No life is great that does not point to Christ.
Vance Havner
Our efficiency without God's sufficiency is only a deficiency.
Vance Havner
God judges what we tolerate as well as what we practice. Too often we put up with things we ought to put out.
Vance Havner
A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.
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
Before we can strengthen believers or win the lost, we must be converted from the self-life to the Christ-life. . . Not I, but Christ.
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
Some preachers ought to put more fire into their sermons or more sermons into the fire.
Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
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
Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
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.
