More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
For millions of Christians, nevertheless, God is no more real than He is to the non-Christian. They go through life trying to love an ideal and be loyal to a mere principle.

Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies.
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.

Lord, how great is our dilemma! In Thy Presence silence best becomes us, yet love inflames our hearts and constrains us to speak.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Maybe God is calling you to do something extraordinary that isn't on your calendar something to revive your soul!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must never allow the majority to overrule the clear teaching of the Word of God.

The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Pseudo faith always arranges a way out to serve in case God fails it. Real faith knows only one way and gladly allows itself to be stripped of any second way or makeshift substitutes. For true faith, it is either God or total collapse.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men are free to decide their own moral choices, but they are also under the necessity to account to God for those choices.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man who would truly know God must give time to Him.

If you're not worshiping God on Monday the way you [did] the day before, perhaps you're not worshiping Him at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Among the plastic saints of our times, Jesus has to do all the dying, and all we want to hear is another sermon about his dying.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The shallowness of our inner experience, the hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all.
