Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aide to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.
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
Any spirit that permits compromise with the world is a false spirit. Any religious movement that imitates the world in any of its manifestations is false to the cross of Christ and on the side of the devil.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
But the sons of this world have not God they have only each other, and they walk holding to each other and looking to one another for assurance like frightened children.

We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.

Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

Spiritual Christians look upon the world not as a playground but as a battleground.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Those who seek the deeper Christian life and those who want the riches that are in Christ Jesus the Lord seek no place, no wealth, no things, only Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The purpose of God isn't to save us from Hell. The purpose of God is to make us like Christ.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Until self-effacing men return again to spiritual leadership, we may expect a progressive deterioration in the quality of popular Christianity year after year till we reach the point where the grieved Holy Spirit withdraws - like the Shekinah from the temple.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The heart of the world is breaking under this load of pride and pretense. There is no release from our burden apart from the meekness of Christ.
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
If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition you know that you are God's child, you know it by the text but you also know it by the inner light, the inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever reason you out of it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God is never satisfied with anything less than all.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
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.
