More quotes by Vance Havner
At the rate America is decaying morally, we shall have to change our national symbol from an eagle to a vulture.

Vance Havner
Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did.
Vance Havner
Where God guides He provides. He is not responsible for expenses not on His schedule. He does not foot the bill when we leave His itinerary.
Vance Havner
You always enter God's hospital as a charity patient. You can't pay your way.
Vance Havner
We must live in all kinds of days, both high days and low days, in simple dependence upon Christ as the branch on the vine. This is the supreme experience
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
Vance Havner
Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.
Vance Havner
More Bibles are bought and fewer read than any other book.
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.
