More quotes by Vance Havner
God's Word is its own best argument.
Vance Havner
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
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
Nobody in pulpit or pew needs a revival more than a bitter-spirited fundamentalist with his dispensations right and his disposition wrong.
Vance Havner
You have not really learned a commandment until you have obeyed it. The Church suffers today from Christians who know volumes more than they practice.
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
Sometimes your medicine bottle has on it, shake well before using. That is what God has to do with some of His people. He has to shake them well before they are ever usable.
Vance Havner
We can often do more by doing less. God is not particularly interested in quantity production. That is an American standard, not a Bible standard.
Vance Havner
Do not so contemplate eternity that you waste today.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
Vance Havner
We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both.
Vance Havner
To some Christianity is an argument. To many it is a performance. To a few, it is experience.
Vance Havner
In other days people chose a church on the basis of their doctrinal convictions. Now, lacking doctrinal convictions, they choose for social reasons.
Vance Havner
Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
Vance Havner
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
Vance Havner
One cannot help the evil thoughts that come, but it is the thoughts we cultivate that make the difference between good or evil. We don't have to open the door to the devil and say, Make yourself at home.
Vance Havner
Somehow the idea has gotten around that it is unchristian to take a stand against heresy. Some of us need to read the New Testament again.
Vance Havner
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
Vance Havner
The detour is always rougher than the main road
Vance Havner
Men love everything but righteousness and fear everything but God.
