More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Self is the opaque veil that hides the Face of God from us. It can be removed only in spiritual experience, never by mere instruction.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Love is both a principle and an emotion it is something both felt and willed. It is capable of almost infinite degrees. Love in the human heart may begin so modestly as to be hardly perceptible and go on to become a raging torrent that sweeps its possessor before it in total helplessness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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
If we try to obey without faith, we get nowhere. If we try to have faith without obedience, it ends in nothing.

The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
As Christians, we are not to be people without feelings.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There has been grave error. I do not mean so much error of doctrine as error of emphasis.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you will not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him one day a week.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The good news isn't that God is victorious. How can He not be victorious? The good news is we can be victorious, too.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The most important thing you think is what you think about God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Is it ever possible to overdo the talking about the glory of Christ? Is it ever too often to be in God's presence?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's plan will continue on God's schedule.
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
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?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.
