Men may flee from the sunlight to dark and musty caves of the earth, but they cannot put out the sun. So men may in any dispensation despise the grace of God, but they cannot extinguish it.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea of the divine-human friendship originated with God. Had not God said first 'Ye are my friends?' (John 15:14)
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.

Faith is not a once-done act, but a continuous gaze of the heart at the Triune God. Believing, then, is directing the hearts' attention to Jesus. It is lifting the mind to 'behold the Lamb of God,' and never ceasing that beholding for the rest of our lives.

The Christian church was designed to make sinners sweat. I have always believed that, and I still believe it. The messages preached in our churches should make backslidden Christians sweat. And if I achieve that objective when I preach, I thank God with all of my heart, no matter what people think of me.

I want to be in a place where I have to have God in everything I do . . . where God is indispensable to me.

We desperately need seers who can see through the mist- Christian leaders with prophetic vision. Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation. And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy.

God dwells in the heart where praise is.

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.

While we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we can trust the sufferings of Christ for our sake then we can trust Christ when we suffer for His sake.

It takes simplicity and humility to worship God acceptably.

I do not know why God does some things, but I am convinced that nothing is accidental in his universe.

Real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.

If Bible Christianity is to survive the present world upheaval, we shall need to have a fresh revelation of the greatness and the beauty of Jesus.... He alone can raise our cold hearts to rapture and restore again the art of true worship.

The old cross slew men the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh the new cross encourages it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The true Christian is one who is kind of sick of this world. If I find anybody who is settled down too snugly into this world, I am made to doubt whether he's ever truly been born again
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.

Christ dazzles me and stirs within me such feelings of amazement that I can never get over Him.

If we make provision for sinning tomorrow, we will be sinning tomorrow.

Where God is not glorified, that place is sick
