More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.

God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back then serve God with all your heart.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Religion is interested primarily in the One who is the source of all things, the master of every phenomenon.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We need never shout across the spaces to an absent God. He is nearer than our own soul, closer than our most secret thoughts
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you have believed but not obeyed, you have postponed your Christian life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The abuse of a harmless thing is the essence of sin.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Most Christians would rather be happy than feel the wounds of other peoples' sorrows.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We tend by a secret law of the soul to move toward our mental image of God.

There is more healing joy in five minutes of true worship than in five nights of revelry.
