More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
The author squares man's depravity with still being made in the image of God with this word picture. A vase that has held beautiful roses though now broken, will nevertheless hold something of the fragrance it once contained.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus our Lord is Prophet, Priest, and King. The concept is not new, yet many preachers never preach it, and many congregations never hear it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age. The man who would know God must give time to Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Men who refuse to worship the true God now worship themselves with tender devotion.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Teach us to know that we cannot know, for the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Let faith support us where reason fails, and we shall think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When God would make His Name known to mankind He could find no better word than I AM. When He speaks in the first person He says, I AM when we speak of Him we say, He is when we speak to Him we say, Thou art. Everyone and everything else measures from that fixed point. I am that I am, says God, I change not.

We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We have become so engrossed in the work of the Lord that we have forgotten the Lord of the work.

If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.

Wherever we find Jesus is the perfect place to worship.
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
The burden borne by mankind is a heavy and a crushing thing. The word Jesus used means a load carried or toil borne to the point of exhaustion. Rest is simply release from that burden. It is not something we do, it is what comes to us when we cease to do. His own meekness, that is the rest.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Holiness, as taught in the Scriptures, is not based upon knowledge on our part. Rather, it is based upon the resurrected Christ in-dwelling us and changing us into His likeness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When we allow God to be exalted in our difficulties we are in the perfect place to smell the fragrance of His Presence.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
A church can wither as surely under the ministry of soulless Bible exposition as it can where no Bible is given. To be effective the preacher's message must be alive it must alarm, arouse, challenge it must be God's present voice to a particular people. Then, and not till then, is it the prophetic word and the man himself a prophet.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The grace of God is infinite and beyond our ability to measure. His grace has no beginning and therefore no end.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
When men no longer fear God, they transgress His laws without hesitation. The fear of consequences is no deterrent when the fear of God is gone.
