More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Truth is a glorious but hard mistress. She never consults, bargains or compromises.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its idea of God.

There are two classes of Christians: the proud who imagine they are humble and the humble who are afraid they are proud. There should be another class: the self-forgetful who leave the whole thing in the hands of Christ and refuse to waste any time trying to make themselves good. They will reach the goal far ahead of the rest.

Whoever seeks God as a means toward desired ends will not find God. The mighty God, the maker of heaven and earth, will not be one of many treasures, not even the chief of all treasures. He will be all in all or He will be nothing. God will not be used.

To me, it has always been difficult to understand those evangelical Christians who insist upon living in the crisis as if no crisis existed. They say they serve the Lord, but they divide their days so as to leave plenty of time to play and loaf and enjoy the pleasures of the world as well. They are at ease while the world burns.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If the Lord's people were only half as eager to be filled with the Spirit as they are to prove that they cannot be filled, the church would be crowded out.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A local church will only be as great as its conception of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Refuse to be average. Let your heart soar as high as it will.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Made as we were in the image of God we scarcely find it strange to take again our God as our All. God was our original habitat and our hearts cannot but feel at home when they enter again that ancient and beautiful abode.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christianity is hard when we try to serve God in man's way instead of serving God in God's way.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holy is the way God is. To be holy He does not conform to a standard. He IS that standard.
