More quotes by Vance Havner

Vance Havner
The man who sets out to live the life worthwhile-to follow his vision and speak his heart-need not look for position, honors, prosperity.
Vance Havner
We need a dedicated minority who, like the apostles of old, are willing to be called the scum of the earth and a spectacle to the world for the scandal of the cross.
Vance Havner
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
The devil is in constant conspiracy against a preacher who really prays, for it has been said that what a minister is in his prayer closet is what he is, no more, no less.
Vance Havner
Sin has gotten men into more trouble than science can get him out of.
Vance Havner
I would say to today's young minister, 'Be not afraid to give much time to solitary walks and meditation'.
Vance Havner
We must live in all kinds of days, both high days and low days, in simple dependence upon Christ as the branch on the vine. This is the supreme experience
Vance Havner
We are challenged these days, but not changed convicted, but not converted. We hear, but do not and thereby we deceive ourselves.
