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
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
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to grow in grace and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
An old minister explained the smudges on his sermon outlines by saying they were caused by sweat and tears. And without those two marks, a sermon is not a sermon.
Vance Havner
Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.
