Every advance that we make for God and for His cause must be made at our inconvenience. If it does not inconvenience us at all, there is no cross in it.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.

For myself, I long ago decided that I would rather know the truth than be happy in ignorance. If I can not have both truth and happiness, give me truth. We’ll have a long time to be happy in heaven.

There can be no doubt that this possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the [christian] life. Because it is so natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic.

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.

Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they found Him, the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking.

Many Christians are satisfied with their destination but they neglect the journey.

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.

We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.

The gravest question any of us face is whether we do or do not love the Lord.

Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.

The devil is a better theologian than any of us and is a devil still.

I claim the holy right to disappoint men in order to avoid disappointing God.

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

The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.

You can't truly rest until every area in your life rests in God.

It is a high Christian privilege to pray for one another within each local church body and then for other believers throughout the world. As a Christian minister, I have no right to preach to people I have not prayed for. That is my strong conviction.

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