We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.

If you're not worshiping God on Monday the way you [did] the day before, perhaps you're not worshiping Him at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.

Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.

Religion today is not transforming people rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.

Pray and as you pray, surrender and as you surrender, believe.

God calls us to worship, but in many instances we are in entertainment, just running a poor second to the theaters. That is where we are, even in the evangelical churches, and I don't mind telling you that most of the people we say we are trying to reach will never come to a church to see a lot of amateur actors putting on a home-talent show.

An honest man with an open Bible and a pad and pencil is sure to find out what is wrong with him very quickly.

Go to church once a week and nobody pays attention. Worship God seven days a week and you become strange!

The greatest encouragement throughout the Bible is God's love for His lost race and the willingness of Christ, the eternal Son, to show forth that love in God's plan of redemption. The love of Jesus is so inclusive that it knows no boundaries. At the point where we stop caring and loving, Jesus is still there loving and caring

One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

Love is both a principle and an emotion it is something both felt and willed. It is capable of almost infinite degrees. Love in the human heart may begin so modestly as to be hardly perceptible and go on to become a raging torrent that sweeps its possessor before it in total helplessness.

History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.
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.

No man gives anything acceptable to God until has has first given himself in love and sacrifice.

Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I want the presence of God Himself, or I don't want anything at all to do with religion... I want all that God has or I don't want any.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
By nature, worship is not some performance we do, but a presence we experience.
