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

Thinking carries a moral imperative. The searcher for truth must be ready to obey truth without reservation or it will elude him.

Brother Lawrence expressed the highest moral wisdom when he testified that if he stumbled and fell he turned at once to God and said, 'O Lord, this is what you may expect of me if You leave me to myself.' He then accepted forgiveness, thanked God, and gave himself no further concerns about the matter.

No one can know truth except the one who obeys truth. You think you know truth. People memorize the Scriptures by the yard, but that is not a guarantee of knowing the truth. Truth is not a text. Truth is in the text, but it takes the text plus the Holy Spirit to bring truth to a human soul.

The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

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

To treat an imperfect brother (or sister) impatiently is to advertise our own imperfections.

Where God and man are in relationship, this must be the ideal. God must be the communicator, and man must be in the listening, obeying attitude. If men and women are not willing to assume this listening attitude, there will be no meeting with God in living, personal experience.

To great sections of the church the art of worship has been lost entirely, and in its place has come that strange and foreign thing called the 'program.' This word has been borrowed from the stage and applied with sad wisdom to the type of public service which now passes for worship among us.

We need to learn that truth consists not in correct doctrine, but in correct doctrine plus the inward enlightenment of the Holy Spirit.

Rules for Self Discovery: 1. What we want most 2. What we think about most 3. How we use our money 4. What we do with our leisure time 5. The company we enjoy 6. Who and what we admire 7. What we laugh at.

God is running the universe. We ought not think like scientists, but think like psalmists.

Walking in humility isn't focusing on what we are NOT rather, it's declaring what God is.

Man for all his genius is but an echo of the original Voice, a reflection of the uncreated Light.

...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The work of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We should discipline ourselves to read the Word until it comes alive...until we can almost feel the breath of God.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.

I believe that the imperative need of the day is not simply revival, but a radical reformation that will go to the root of our moral and spiritual maladies and deal with causes rather than with consequences, with the disease rather than with symptoms.

Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.
