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.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

His words are the essence of truth...Jesus never uttered opinions. He never guessed He knew, and He knows.

Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.

The kingdom of God is not in words. Words are only incidental and can never be fundamental. When evangelicalism ceased to emphasize fundamental meanings and began emphasizing fundamental words, and shifted from meaning to words and from power to words, they began to go down hill.

The blessed and inviting truth is that God is the most winsome of all beings and in our worship of Him we should find unspeakable pleasure.

But the sons of this world have not God they have only each other, and they walk holding to each other and looking to one another for assurance like frightened children.

Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.

Wise leaders should have known that the human heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn to the wine of the flesh....Christ died for our hearts and the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

The pain of sacrificing our old selves is nothing compared to the joy of Christ living in us in our transformed lives.

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.

If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.

Shall it be a religion or shall it be Christ? Shall it be churchianity or shall it be Jesus Christ? Shall it be pride or shall it be humility in Jesus Christ?

We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Religion today is not transforming people rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society it is descending to society's own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.

Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.

In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane we leave it at the cross.

The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Bible recognizes no faith that does not lead to obedience, nor does it recognize any obedience that does not spring from faith. The two are at opposite sides of the same coin.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.
