To have found God and still to pursue Him is the soul's paradox of love, scorned indeed by the too-easily-satisfied religionist, but justified in happy experience by the children of the burning heart.

Complacency is easy...and it is a deadly foe of spiritual growth.

What is wisdom? It is the skill to achieve the perfect means by the perfect ends
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We fear extremes and shy away from too much ardor in religion as if it were possible to have too much love or too much faith or too much holiness.

A local church will only be as great as its conception of God.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.

There is scarcely anything so dull and meaningless as Bible doctrine taught for its own sake. Truth divorced from life is not truth in its Biblical sense, but something else and something less.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God dwells in His creation and is everywhere indivisibly present in all His works. He is transcendent above all His works even while He is immanent within them.

The Christian woman should remember that she cannot buy true attractiveness that radiance which really shines forth in beauty is of the heart and spirit and not of the body.

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.

Our gifts and talents should also be turned over to Him. They should be recognized for what they are, God's loan to us, and should never be considered in any sense our own
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I accomplish more when I rest wholly in the labor of Jesus than I do when I frantically try to do the work for Him.

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.

Any doctrine that makes the world your friend is not your friend.

Nothing twists and deforms the soul more than a low or unworthy conception of God
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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 wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the church they will instantly sense that they have come among holy people, God's people. They can testify, 'Of a truth God is in this place'

When God brings all things to light, you will discover just how significant you've been in God's plan.

The doctrine of the Trinity...is truth for the heart. The fact that it can not be satisfactorily explained, instead of being against it, is in its favor. Such a truth had to be revealed no one could imagine it.
