If you stand on the Word, you do not stand with the world.

God's deepest secrets often miss the wise and prudent and are revealed unto babes. We say, Children, be like your parents. Jesus said, Parents, be like your children.
Vance Havner

A soft and sheltered Christianity, afraid to be lean and lone, unwilling to face the storms and brave the heights, will end up fat and foul in the cages of conformity.
Vance Havner
You haven't lost anything when you know were it is. Death can hide but not divide.
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
Beware of being a religious poseur, trying to live up to a dramatized version of yourself.
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
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
Most of the notable turn out to be the not-able. God's greatest truths still belong to babes.
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
To some Christianity is an argument. To many it is a performance. To a few, it is experience.
