Where God is not glorified, that place is sick
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are often hindered from giving up our treasures to the Lord out of fear for their safety this is especially true when those treasures are loved relatives and friends. But we need have no such fears. Our Lord came not to destroy but to save. Everything is safe which we commit to Him, and nothing is really safe which is not so committed.

He had everything, but he possessed nothing. There is the spiritual secret.

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.

He (God) may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No one need fear to listen to the voice of God unless he has already made up his mind to resist it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Prayer is always in danger of degenerating into a glorified gold rush. How to get things from God occupies most [books].
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The sacred page is not meant to be the end, but only the means toward the end, which is knowing God Himself.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When people sugarcoat Christianity, arrange it all nicely, they have, in effect, taken away the Cross.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When I am praying the most eloquently, I am getting the least accomplished in my prayer life. But when I stop getting eloquent and give God less theology and shut up and just gaze upward and wait for God to speak to my heart He speaks with such power that I have to grab a pencil and a notebook and take notes on what God is saying to my heart.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The most dangerous trap is just living and forgetting that God exists.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The average Christian is so cold and so contented with His wretched condition that there is no vacuum of desire into which the blessed Spirit can rush in satisfying fullness.
