Vance Havner
People get so used to the dark that they think it is growing brighter.
Vance Havner
The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
Vance Havner
The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
Vance Havner
What gives the Word of God authority is simply the fact that it is the word of God!
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
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
The temple of truth has never suffered so much from woodpeckers on the outside as from termites within.
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.
