Vance Havner
A wife who is 85 percent faithful to her husband is not faithful at all. There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.
Vance Havner
We need men of the cross, with the message of the cross, bearing the marks of the cross.
Vance Havner
Life is like a grain of wheat: to plant it is to recognize its value to keep it is to destroy its value. The 'planted' Christian counts life dear not unto himself but unto God.
