More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Thinking carries a moral imperative. The searcher for truth must be ready to obey truth without reservation or it will elude him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worship, I say, rises or falls with our concept of God .... and if there is one terrible disease in the Church of Christ, it is that we do not see God as great as He is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must never edit God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We cannot enter into the presence of God while we are rebelling against God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.

Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

Breezy, self-confident Christians tell us how wonderful it is to accept Christ and then have a good time all the rest of your life the Lord won't demand anything of you. Yes, He will, my friend! The Lord will demand everything of you. And when you give it all up to Him, He may bless it and hand it back, but on the other hand He may not.

It will cost you everything to follow the Lord. And it will cost you even more to be His man for this hour.

May not the inadequacy of much of our spiritual experience be traced back to our habit of skipping through the corridors of the Kingdom like children in the market place, chattering about everything, but pausing to learn the value of nothing.

I'm not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me - he's got judo I never heard of. But he can't handle the One to whom I'm joined he can't handle the One to whom I'm united he can't handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.

God's purpose in redemption is to make worshipers out of rebels.

In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.

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.

A church can wither as surely under the ministry of soulless Bible exposition as it can where no Bible is given. To be effective the preacher's message must be alive it must alarm, arouse, challenge it must be God's present voice to a particular people. Then, and not till then, is it the prophetic word and the man himself a prophet.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The basic trouble with the church today is her unworthy concept of God... Our religion is weak because our God is weak... Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending on her concept of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God loves us for ourselves. He values our love more than he values galaxies of new created worlds.

Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
