Vance Havner's Preaching

P

Considered one of America's most quoted preachers, Vance Havner was also a great revival evangelist. He was equally at ease at a Moody Bible Institute conference or in a small country church. This editor had the privilege of hearing him for the last time in a small Southern Baptist church a few years before he died. As was his custom, he read his sermon to the congregation word-for-word. Sounds boring? It wasn't! The sweet Holy Spirit settled upon the congregation as he preached, and the altar was filled at invitation time. Havner never pulled punches. His attitude was, as all preachers should be -- I've got a message from God, and here it is! We need more preachers just like him.This is a description of one of Vance Havners picture on this site... so Vance Havner always read his sermons?! If so I would have never known just by listening.

Yes that would be intresting to validate this. It could be possibly this was his custom for a period of time in his local congregation. I know that Jonathan Edwards monotiously read the sermon "sinners in the hands of an angry God" and it was definetly used of God.
