More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The widest thing in the universe is not space it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.

God is never impressed with what a man can do. He is more concerned with what a man is.

Father, may my song today be a sweet sound in Your ears-even if in Yours alone. Amen.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are in an age of religious complexity. The simplicity which is in Christ is rarely found among us. In its stead are programs, methods, organizations, and a world of nervous activities which occupy time and attention but can never satisfy the longing of the heart.

Christianity at any given time is strong or weak depending upon her concept of God.

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.

Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.

We who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on our lives and our days long and often before the face of God and on the edge of eternity. For we are made for eternity as certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible moral beings we must deal with both.

In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
To escape the error of salvation by works we have fallen into the opposite error of salvation without obedience.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When we have the Holy Spirit we have all that is needed to be all that God desires us to be.

Most Christians are satisfied living as common Christians, without an insatiable hunger for the deeper things of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit will have a worm in it.

Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is probably impossible to think without words, but if we permit ourselves to think with the wrong words, we shall soon be entertaining erroneous thoughts for words, which are given us for the expression of thought, have a habit of going beyond their proper bounds and determining the content of thought.

If you would follow on to know the Lord, come at once to the open Bible expecting it to speak to you. Do not come with the notion that it is a thing which you may push around at your convenience. It is more than a thing, it is a voice, a word, the very Word of the living God.

I am looking for the fellowship of the burning heart--for men and women of all generations everywhere who love the Savior until adoration becomes the music of their soul until they don't have to be fooled with and entertained and amused. Jesus Christ is everything, all-in-all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We may sing, 'Crown Him Lord of all,' and rejoice in the tones of the loud-sounding organ and the deep melody of harmonious voices, but still we have done nothing until we have left the world and set our faces toward the city of God in hard practical reality. When faith becomes obedience then it is true faith indeed.

Jesus will never qualify or compromise anything he has said.
