Quote

The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.

What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.

God is more concerned with the state of people's hearts than He is with the state of their feelings.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
Constantly practice the habit of inwardly gazing upon God. You know that something inside your heart sees God. Even when you are compelled to withdraw your conscious attention in order to engage in earthly affairs, there is within you a secret communion always going on.

We can express our worship to God in many ways. But if we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.

God never uses anyone greatly until He tests them deeply.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.

Image
We must of necessity be servant to someone, either to God or to sin. The man who surrenders to Christ exchanges a cruel slave driver for a kind and gentle master whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.

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.

If the envious, the defamers and the backbiters were taken out of the average church, there would be revival overnight.

Listen to no man who has not listened to God.

If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.

What is needed desperately today is prophetic insight. Scholars can interpret the past it takes prophets to interpret the present.

Plain horse sense ought to tell us that anything that makes no change in the man who professes it makes no difference to God, either.
