More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
What has the church gained if it is popular but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea that the Man Christ Jesus has absolute and final authority over the whole church and over all of its members in every detail of their lives is simply not now accepted as true by the rank and file of evangelical Christians
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If the envious, the defamers and the backbiters were taken out of the average church, there would be revival overnight.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If your Christianity depends upon a pastor's preaching, then you're a long way from being where you should be.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Honesty that can be trusted and respected is a very fragrant flower in the life of a Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The key to prayer is simply praying.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We know how God would act if he were in our place - he has been in our place.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Too often we are Christians by assumption, manipulation or instruction, rather than Christians by regeneration.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In Him (God), history and prophecy are one and the same.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
