More quotes by Vance Havner
To build character of purpose and integrity is our high mark, and that cannot be done in a world where there are no adverse elements.
Vance Havner
The last word of our Lord to the church was not the Great Commission. The last thing He said to the church was 'Repent.' He said that to five out of seven.
Vance Havner
I would just as soon listen to a gangster lecture on honesty as watch Hollywood portray the Bible.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
One of the greatest errors in the church today is the artificial distinction we have created between accepting Christ as Savior and confessing Him as Lord. We have made two experiences of it, but the New Testament makes them one.
Vance Havner
Our Lord approved neither idol worship or idle worship but ideal worship in Spirit and truth.
Vance Havner
Too many Christians live their Christian lives inside their heads it never gets out through hands and feet and lips.
Vance Havner
I'm tied of hearing about temperance instead of abstinence, in order to please the cocktail crowd in church congregations.
Vance Havner
There are many who say they want to be victorious Christians, but few are willing to endure the discipline necessary to make one a good solider of Jesus Christ. There is a prize to possess, but before we possess it there is a price to be paid, and few will pay it.
Vance Havner
Plenty of church members are shaky about what they believe, while not many are shaken by what they believe.
Vance Havner
We are suffering from a believism that never has believed, and a receivism that never has received, and it leads to deceivism.
Vance Havner
Don't ever come to church without coming as though it were the first time, as though it could be the best time, and as though it could be the last time.
Vance Havner
There was a time when ministers spoke forthrightly and named things. We don't name anything anymore. Finney had a sermon on How to Preach so as to Convert Nobody. He said 'Preach on sin but never mention any of the sins of your congregation - that will do it.'
Vance Havner
If you are a Christian, you are not a citizen of this world trying to get to heaven you are a citizen of heaven making your way through this world.
Vance Havner
When we are weakest and most despondent, Jesus is most considerate. When there is a break in our progress or we have a spell of depression, he sees the whole of our lives and in the light of that He is longsuffering with discordant details.
Vance Havner
To the average professed Christian today, living so far below normal, New Testament Christianity would be a shock.
Vance Havner
Revival precedes evangelism. The church must first repent. This is the blind spot in our eye today.
Vance Havner
We are not bearing our crosses every time we have a headache an aspirin tablet will take care of that. What is meant is the trouble we would not have if we were not Christians.
Vance Havner
A preacher should have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a child, and the hide of a rhinoceros. His problem is how to toughen his hide without hardening his heart.
Vance Havner
Satan is not fighting churches he is joining them. He does more harm by sowing tares than by pulling up wheat. He accomplishes more by imitation than by outright opposition.
