Vance Havner
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
Vance Havner
The church is so subnormal that if it ever got back to the New Testament normal it would seem to people to be abnormal.
Vance Havner
Self, service, substance is the Divine order and nothing counts until we give ourselves.
Vance Havner
The first step towards the evangelizing of the world is the christianizing of the church.
Vance Havner
It is not our responsibility to make it acceptable it is our duty to make it available.
Vance Havner
If you would try out a preacher, send him to preach to farmers: if he cannot make the grade there, let him reconsider his call - or maybe he needs to be converted.
