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

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

Vance Havner
The early Christians condemned false doctrine in a way that sounds almost unchristian today.
Vance Havner
We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord.
Vance Havner
Jesus Christ demands more complete allegiance than any dictator who ever lived. The difference is, He has a right to it.
Vance Havner
Worse than blind leaders of the blind are bland leaders of the bland.
Vance Havner
Popularity has killed more prophets than persecution.
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
