More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
In coming to Christ we don't bring our old life up to a higher plane we leave it at the cross.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The devil loves it when we say we believe then prioritize everything in our lives ahead of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We must do something about the cross, and there’s only one of two things we can do- flee it or die upon it!
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holiness has nothing to do with what we know and everything to do with Who we know.

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
Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.

If you do all the talking when you pray, how will you ever hear God's answers?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Man appears for a little while to laugh and weep, to work and play, and then to go to make room for those who shall follow him in the never-ending cycle.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The cross where Jesus died became also the cross where His apostle died. The loss, the rejection, the shame, belong both to Christ and to all who in very truth are His. the cross that saves them also slays them, and anything short of this is a pseudo-faith and not true faith at all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.

Coming before God in quietness & waiting upon Him in silence often can accomplish more than days of feverish activity.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God doesn't work through us because we're flawless rather, He works through us in spite of our imperfections.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find inward peace?
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
You are a mirror of the Almighty...this is the reason you were created...your purpose.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The average Christian is so cold and so contented with His wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness.

Christians don't tell lies they just go to church and sing them.
