More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
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!

God formed us for His pleasure, and so formed us that we as well as He can in divine communion enjoy the sweet and mysterious mingling of kindred personalities. He meant us to see Him and live with Him and draw our life from His smile.

Listen to no man who has not listened to God.
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
Until the Bible begins to talk to us, we really have not been reading it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must break the evil habit of ignoring the spiritual. We must shift our interest from the seen to the unseen.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The true Christian is one who is kind of sick of this world. If I find anybody who is settled down too snugly into this world, I am made to doubt whether he's ever truly been born again
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If we possess nothing, God will allow us to have plenty.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What a blessed truth to understand that, in the middle of all of our difficulties and calamities, we have a refuge.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A local church will only be as great as its conception of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have full confidence in Jesus Christ. Our confidence rises as the character of God becomes greater and more trustworthy to our spiritual comprehension. The One with whom we deal is the One who embodies faithfulness and truth-the One who cannot lie.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man with a cross no longer controls his destiny he lost control when he picked up his cross. That cross immediately became to him an all-absorbing interest, an overwhelming interference. No matter what he may desire to do, there is but one thing he can do that is, move on toward the place of crucifixion.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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
God wants us to make Jesus Christ the central figure in our church--not just say that we do, but actually do it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.
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.
