More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
What good is all our busy religion if God isn't in it? What good is it if we've lost majesty, reverence, worship-an awareness of the divine? What good is it if we've lost a sense of the Presence and the ability to retreat within our own hearts and meet God in the garden?

My miseries have always come out of my own flesh, never from any burden Jesus has laid on me.

The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.

Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.

Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.

The essence of surrender is getting out of God's way so that He can do in us what He also wants to do through us.

We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If I empty out half of my life, God can only fill half...God will fill as much of us as we allow Him to fill.

What I cannot know by reason, I can know by simply believing.

Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There is scarcely anything so dull and meaningless as Bible doctrine taught for its own sake. Truth divorced from life is not truth in its Biblical sense, but something else and something less.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is running the universe. We ought not think like scientists, but think like psalmists.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.

I did not go through the Book. The Book went through me.

It's not what you did, but what you could have done if you allowed the Lord to work His will in your life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.
