We often try to put God in a box. The God who fits in our boxes isn't the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must have a new reformation. There must come a violent break with that irresponsible, amusement-mad, paganized pseudo-religion which passes today for the faith of Christ and which is being spread all over the world by unspiritual men employing unscriptural methods to achieve their ends.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The sovereign God wants to be loved for Himself and honoured for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him we have everything - we have all the rest.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To regain her lost power the Church must see heaven opened and have a transforming vision of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Yes, worship of the loving God is man's whole reason for existence.

Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.
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.

Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.

Speaking as a minister it is my strong feeling that no man has a right to preach to a crowd that he has not prayed for.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holy is the way God is. To be holy He does not conform to a standard. He IS that standard.
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.

Jesus is not one of many ways to approach God, nor is He the best of several ways He is the only way.
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.
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
We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread, And long to feast upon Thee still: We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.
