Vance Havner Quotes

Popularity has slain more prophets of God than persecution ever did Picture Quote #1
The alternative to discipline is disaster Picture Quote #1
Salvation is a helmet, not a nightcap Picture Quote #1
Salt seasons, purifies, preserves. But somebody ought to remind us that salt also irritates. Real living Christianity rubs this world the wrong way Picture Quote #1
God’s Word is its own best argument Picture Quote #1
What we live is what we believe. Everything else is just so much religious talk Picture Quote #1

If we don’t come apart; we will come apart Picture Quote #1
The thermometer of a church is its prayer meeting Picture Quote #1
If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees Picture Quote #1
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 Picture Quote #1
The detour is always rougher than the main road Picture Quote #1
The tragedy of today is that the situation is desperate but the saints are not Picture Quote #1

We have always needed old people to keep things from going too fast and young people to keep them from going too slow. Youth has fire and age has light and we need both Picture Quote #1
I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world Picture Quote #1
Too much preaching nowadays pats the back and tickles the ear, but does not get under the skin. There is no conviction and therefore no conversion. I am thinking not only of the ministry of reproof and rebuke but also of the message of inspiration, of encouragement, of comfort. People go out of church at noon with the depths unstirred, the heart untouched, the conscience unpricked Picture Quote #1
We are the salt of the earth, mind you, not the sugar. Our ministry is to truly cleanse and not just to change the taste Picture Quote #1
