Jesus Christ knows the worst about you. Nonetheless, He is the one who loves you the most.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.

One of the greatest foes of the Christian is religious complacency.. Orthodox Christianity has fallen to its present low estate from lack of spiritual desire. Among the many who profess the Christian faith, scarcely one in a thousand reveals any passionate thirst for God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.

Mans nature indicates that he was created for three things: To think, to worship and to work. But thinking is not enough. Men are made to worship also, to bow down and adore in the presence of the Mystery inexpressible.

The Cross is not responsible for God's love rather it was His love that conceived the Cross.

Judas Iscariot was not a greatly wicked person, just a common money-lover, and like most money-lovers, he did not understand Christ.

Most of us go through life praying a little, planning a little, jockeying for position, hoping but never being quite certain of anything, and always secretly afraid that we will miss the way. This is a tragic waste of truth and never gives rest to the heart.

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
The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!

Whom God would use greatly He will hurt deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

Any nation which for an extended period puts pleasure before liberty is likely to lose the liberty it misused.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In many churches Christianity has been watered down until the solution is so weak that if it were poison it would not hurt anyone, and if it were medicine it would not cure anyone!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Always, everywhere God is present, and always He seeks to discover Himself to each one
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have measured ourselves by ourselves until the incentive to seek higher plateaus in the things of the Spirit is all but gone.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Left to ourselves we tend immediately to reduce God to manageable terms.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I don't want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A Christian should put away all defense and make no attempt to excuse himself either in his own eyes or before the Lord. Whoever defends himself will have himself for his defense, and he will have no other. But let him come defenseless before the Lord and he will have for his defender no less than God Himself.

Any faith that must be supported by the evidence of the senses is not real faith.
