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.

We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
Aiden Wilson Tozer

The great test of faith is to wait on God. . . not expecting to push a button and get whatever we want now.

Image
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.

Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here awaiting our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.

[Prayer] takes no time, but it occupies all our time.

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.

Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways He is the only way.

The experiences of men who walked with God in olden times agree to teach that the Lord cannot fully bless the a man until He has first conquered him. The degree of blessing enjoyed by any man will correspond exactly with the completeness of God's victory over him.

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane we leave it at the cross.

The importance of coming into God's presence is worth overcoming all obstacles along the way.

How completely satisfying to turn from [our] limitations to a God who has none.
