Be thankful, but be careful that you don't become so enamored of God's good gifts that you fail to worship the giver.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christian theology teaches the doctrine of prevenient grace, which briefly stated means this, that before a man can seek God, God must first have sought the man.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
O God and Father, I repent of my sinful preoccupation with visible things. The world has been too much with me. Thou hast been here and I knew it not. I have been blind to Thy Presence. Open my eyes that I may behold Thee in and around me. For Christ's sake, Amen.

Progress in the Christian life is exactly equal to the growing knowledge we gain of the Triune God in personal experience.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If I understand this correctly Christ taught here the alarming doctrine that the desire for honor among men made belief impossible.

The weakness of so many modern Christians is that they feel to much at home in the world. In their effort to achieve restful 'adjustment' to unregenerate society they have lost their pilgrim character and become an essential part of the very moral order against which they are sent to protest.

Worshipers never leave church...we carry our sanctuary with us wherever we go.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back then serve God with all your heart.

Satan hates God for His own sake, and everything that is dear to God he hates for the very reason that God loves it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A thankful heart cannot be cynical.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him. The heaviest obligation lying upon the Christian Church today is to purify and elevate her concept of God until it is once more worthy of Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No one can know the true grace of God who has not first known the fear of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Only the redeemed have the ability to like what God likes and to be pleased with what pleases God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
All the problems of heaven and earth, though they were to confront us together and at once, would be nothing compared with that overwhelming problem of God: That He is what He is like and what we as moral beings must do about Him.
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
The veil of money has never been about how much money you have but about how much money has you.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No matter what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The believing man does not claim to understand. He falls to his knees and whispers, God. The man of earth kneels also, but not to worship. He kneels to examine, to search, to find the cause and the how of things.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We get our moral bearings by looking at God. We must begin with God. We are right when, and only when, we stand in a right position relative to God, and we are wrong so far and so long as we stand in any other position.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
If Jesus Christ isn't the central figure in our lives and in our churches, we're only fooling ourselves.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's redemptive revelation in Scripture is necessary to saving faith and peace with God. Faith in a risen Savior is necessary if the vague stirrings toward immortality are to bring us to restful and satisfying communion with God.
