More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage. He is rather ready to follow as well as lead.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

Our pursuit of God is successful just because He is forever seeking to manifest Himself to us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God spares us because He is good, but He could not be good if He were not just.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on our lives and our days long and often before the face of God and on the edge of eternity. For we are made for eternity as certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible moral beings we must deal with both.

Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
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
Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The average Christian is so cold and so contented with His wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God desires to reveal to us that His capacity to forgive is bigger than our capacity to sin.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The purpose of good works isn't to change us or save us rather, it's the demonstration of the change within us.
