More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's because God is good. From His goodness, His lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God does it! That's the source of everything.

The complacency of Christians is the scandal of Christianity.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

Quoting Scripture leads you to the fountain, but only if you plunge in and come up wet will I know that you are a Christian.

Perhaps it takes a purer faith to praise God for unrealized blessings than for those we once enjoyed or those we enjoy now.

Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.

Save me from the error of judging a church by its size, popularity or the amount of its yearly offerings.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Whoever will listen will hear the speaking heaven. This is definitely not the hour when men take kindly to an exhortation to listen, for listening is not today a part of popular religion. We are at the opposite end of the pole from there. Religion has accepted the monstrous heresy that noise, size, activity and bluster make a man dear to God.

We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.

If we cooperate with Him in loving obedience, God will manifest Himself to us, and that manifestation will be the difference between a nominal Christian life and a life radiant with the light of His face.

The most important thing about you is what comes to your mind when you think of God.

What now does the divine immanence mean in direct Christian experience? It means simply that God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. Ther eis no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

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

Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To know the Creator and the God of all the universe is to revere Him. It is to bow down before Him in wonder and awesome fear.

The man who remains in his sin will be damned just as surely as the sun comes up in the east and goes down in the west.

Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When the Spirit illuminates the heart, then a part of the man sees which never saw before a part of him knows which never knew before, and that with a kind of knowing which the most acute thinker cannot imitate.

Sermonettes make Christianettes.
