More quotes by Vance Havner
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap.
Vance Havner
He who waits on God loses no time.

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.

I know that some are always studying the meaning of the fourth toe of the right foot of some beast in prophecy and have never used either foot to go and bring men to Christ. I do not know who the 666 is in Revelation but I know the world is sick, sick, sick and the best way to speed the Lord's return is to win more souls for Him.
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
When the Lord's white sheep become dirty gray, all black sheep feel more comfortable.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.

The devil's not fighting churches today, he's joining churches.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.
Vance Havner
There is a trend today that would put a new robe on the prodigal son while he is still feeding hogs. Some would put the ring on his finger while he still in the pigsty. Others would paint the pigsty and advocate bigger and better hog pens.
Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner
The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.
Vance Havner
Too many are willing to sit at God’s table, but not work in his field.
Vance Havner
Civilization today reminds me of an ape with a blowtorch playing in a room full of dynamite. It looks like the monkeys are about to operate the zoo, and the inmates are taking over the asylum.
