God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

Image
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Salvation is from our side a choice, from the divine side it is a seizing upon, an apprehending, a conquest by the Most High God. Our 'accepting' and 'willing' are reactions rather than actions. The right of determination must always remain with God.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.

Image
Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience.

Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.

God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane we leave it at the cross.

This is the tragedy and woe of the hour--that we neglect the most important One who could possibly be in our midst--the Holy Spirit of God. Then, in order to make up for His absence, we have to do something to keep up our own spirits.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

Image
It is useless for large companies of believers to spend long hours begging God to send revival. Unless we intend to reform we may as well not pray. Unless praying men have the insight and faith to amend their whole way of life to conform to the New Testament pattern there can be no true revival.

And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.

When we are enjoying the conscious presence of God, we are fulfilling the tenets of our salvation.

If a man has only correct doctrine to offer me, I am sure to slip out at the first intermission to seek the company of someone who has seen for himself how lovely is the face of Him who is the Rose of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley. Such a man can help me, and no one else can.

If you have believed but not obeyed, you have postponed your Christian life.

The love of God is one of the great realities of the universe, a pillar upon which the hope of the world rests. But it is a personal, intimate thing too. God does not love populations, He loves people. He loves not masses, but men.

Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.

It is my opinion that the Christian conception of God current in these middle years of the twentieth century is so decadent as to be utterly beneath the dignity of the Most High God and actually to constitute for professed believers something amounting to a moral calamity.

The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.

Before there can be fullness there must be emptiness. Before God can fill us with Himself we must first be emptied of ourselves.

We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.
