[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.

Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God. Believing, then, is directing the hearts' attention to Jesus. It is lifting the mind to 'behold the Lamb of God,' and never ceasing that beholding for the rest of our lives.

Aiden Wilson Tozer
To become effective men of God, then, we must know and acknowledge that every grace and every virtue proceeds from God alone, and that not even a good thought can come from us except it be of Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Cultivating quietness is a missing discipline today...the quietness needed to nurture an inner life hid in Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I fear that for the most part people are worshiping worship rather than worshiping God and communing with Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worship, I say, rises or falls with our concept of God .... and if there is one terrible disease in the Church of Christ, it is that we do not see God as great as He is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
America is laughing her way to Hell.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.
