More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
God cannot use a man or woman greatly until he wounds them deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation. If I am tempted to be complacent and to feel superior because I have had a remarkable vision or an advanced spiritual experience, I should go at once to my knees and repent of the whole thing. I have fallen victim to the enemy.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The way to deeper knowledge of God is through the lonely valleys of soul poverty and abnegation of all things. The blessed ones who possess the Kingdom are they who have repudiated every external thing and have rooted from their hearts all sense of possessing. These are the 'poor in spirit.'
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Perception of ideas, rather than the storing of them, should be the aim of education.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The cross stands high above the opinions of men and to that cross all opinions must come at last for judgment.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A true leader will have no desire to lord it over God’s heritage. He is rather ready to follow as well as lead.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A holy man isn't aware that he's holy..As soon as we begin to talk about how holy we are, we aren't holy any more.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
...popular fundamentalist theology has emphasized the utility of the cross rather than the beauty of the One who died on it... The work of Christ has been stressed until it has eclipsed the person of Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.

We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The man that believes will obey failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If you have believed but not obeyed, you have postponed your Christian life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Worship, I say, rises or falls with our concept of God .... and if there is one terrible disease in the Church of Christ, it is that we do not see God as great as He is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart that is constantly overflowing with gratitude will be safe from those attacks of resentfulness and gloom that bother so many persons.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If God gives you a watch, are you honoring Him more by asking Him what time it is or by simply consulting the watch?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The doctrine of the Trinity...is truth for the heart. The fact that it can not be satisfactorily explained, instead of being against it, is in its favor. Such a truth had to be revealed no one could imagine it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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
Prayer is never an acceptable substitute for obedience. The sovereign Lord accepts no offering from His creatures that is not accompanied by obedience. To pray for revival while ignoring or actually flouting the plain precept laid down in the Scriptures is to waste a lot of words and get nothing for our trouble.
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.
