More quotes by 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
The church can have light only as it is full of the Spirit, and it can be full only as the members that compose it are filled individually.

There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud. There should be another class: the self-forgetful who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.

Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.

Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him we need no more seek Him.

God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.

The man who remains in his sin will be damned just as surely as the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed.

Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed He knew, and He knows.

It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.

The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.

To fear and not be afraid- that is the paradox of faith.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
