When our Lord looked at us, He saw not only what we were -- He was faithful in seeing what we could become! He took away the curse of being and gave us the glorious blessing of becoming.

More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
I think a new world will arise out of the religious mists when we approach our Bible with the idea that it is not only a book which was once spoken, but a book which is now speaking.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Until we believe that we are as bad as God says we are, we can never believe that He will do for us what He says He will do. Right here is where popular religion breaks down.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We are called not to adjust ourselves to each other, but to adjust ourselves to God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
You can blame circumstances, but backsliding always begins in the heart.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We're here to be worshipers first and workers only second. We take a convert and immediately make a worker out of him. God never meant it to be so. God meant that a convert should learn to be a worshiper, and after that he can learn to be a worker...The work done by a worshiper will have eternity in it.

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

To regain her lost power the Church must see heaven opened and have a transforming vision of God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
I wish that we might get back to worship again. Then when people come into the church they will instantly sense that they have come among holy people, God's people. They can testify, 'Of a truth God is in this place'
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.

Secularism, materialism, and the intrusive presence of things have put out the light in our souls and turned us into a generation of zombies.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
History is little more than the story of man's sin, and the daily newspaper a running commentary on it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A Christian expects to go to Heaven on the virtue of another.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God's justice and God's mercy do not quarrel with each other.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
And what kind of habitation pleases God? What must our natures be like before he can feel at home within us? He asks nothing but a pure heart and a single mind. He asks no rich paneling, no rugs from the Orient, no art treasures from afar. He desires but sincerity, transparency, humility, and love. He will see to the rest.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
What I am anxious to see in Christian believers is a beautiful paradox. I want to see in them the joy of finding God while at the same time they are blessedly pursuing Him. I want to see in them the great joy of having God yet always wanting Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
For this reason the gravest question before the Church is always God Himself, and the most portentous fact about any man is not what he at a given time may say or do, but what he is his deep heart conceives God to be like.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Wherever we turn in the church of God, there is Jesus. He is the beginning, middle and end of everything to us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is necessary for God to use the hammers, the file, and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood. It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have our ambition for the future and God. And thus we put God as a plus sign after something else we want.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.
