More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.

If faith is the gaze of the heart at God, and if this gaze is but the raising of the inward eyes to meet the all-seeing eyes of God, then it follows that it is one of the easiest things possible to do.

We can express our worship to God in many ways. But if we love the Lord and are led by His Holy Spirit, our worship will always bring a delighted sense of admiring awe and a sincere humility on our part.

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Because we have shut out the Holy Spirit in so many ways, we are stumbling along as though we are spiritually blindfolded.

The pain of sacrificing our old selves is nothing compared to the joy of Christ living in us in our transformed lives.

You are a mirror of the Almighty...this is the reason you were created...your purpose.

The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The idea that this world is a playground instead of a battleground has now been accepted in practice by the vast majority of Christians.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. It wears us out by multiplying distractions and beats us down by destroying our solitude, where otherwise we might drink and renew our strength before going out to face the world again.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Did you ever stop to think that God is going to be as pleased to have you with Him in Heaven as you are to be there?
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We operate by faith, which means that we have confidence in what God says, whether we fully understand it or not
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Christians must understand most emphatically that the world around us is in conflict with the Word within us.

If you never mention the Lord in conversation with each other,isn't that proof that you aren't so concerned about Him?
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?
