More quotes by 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
The alternative to discipline is disaster
Vance Havner
If the fire of hell is not literal, it is worse than actual fire, and if the gates of the Celestial City are not actual gold, they are far finer.
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
It is debatable which is causing us more harm - hot-headed ignorance or cold-hearted intellectualism.
Vance Havner

Vance Havner

If you see a Bible that is falling apart, it probably belongs to someone who isn't!
Vance Havner
Where are the marks of the cross in your life? Are there any points of identification with your Lord? Alas, too many Christians wear medals but carry no scars.
Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
Vance Havner
Progress is a farce because man's head and hand have created wonders that stun the imagination, but his heart does not keep step and his morals undo all that his mind has wrought.
Vance Havner
If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.
Vance Havner
We are so prone to expect to become good Christians by some sudden experience that lifts us all at once to higher ground without the gradual climb. We forget that we are to grow in grace and that normal growth is not a matter of fits and starts.
Vance Havner
Many people have the right aim in life, they just never get around to pulling the trigger. The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps -- we must step up the stairs.
Vance Havner
