More quotes by 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
One man with a genuine experience with God is worth more than a library full of arguments.
Vance Havner
The same church members who yell like Comanche Indians at a ball game on Saturday sit like wooden Indians in church on Sunday.
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.
Vance Havner
If you can't pray as you want to, pray as you can. God knows what you mean.
Vance Havner
Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way.
Vance Havner
Real revival does not begin with joyous singing. It begins with conviction and repentance on the part of Christians.
Vance Havner
The devil will let a preacher prepare a sermon if it will keep him from preparing himself.

Not everyone who has made peace with God has realized the peace of God.
Vance Havner
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting.

A mortician can make a dead man look better than he ever did when he was alive. So churches like Sardis may appear very much alive when they are dead in the sight of the Lord. God knows the difference.
Vance Havner
We are suffering today from a species of Christianity as dry as dust, as cold as ice, as pale as a corpse, and as dead as King Tut. We are suffering not from a lack of correct heads but of consumed hearts.
Vance Havner
It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.
Vance Havner
We need to be preaching a dynamic Gospel and living firecracker lives.
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
Because the Lord loves us He chastens and rebukes us. Modern sentimentality has reduced God to a tolerant indulgent grandfatherly being who winks at our transgressions.
Vance Havner
Any man who takes Jesus Christ seriously becomes the target of the devil. Most church members do not give Satan enough trouble to arouse his opposition
Vance Havner
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not.
Vance Havner
The only way to meet the modern demon-stration of the powers of darkness is by a demonstration of the power of God.
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.
