More quotes by Aiden Wilson Tozer
Any sermon that is not birthed in prayer is not a message from God no matter how learned the preacher.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Let every man abide in the calling wherein he is called and his work will be as sacred as the work of the ministry. It is not what a man does that determines whether his work is sacred or secular, it is why he does it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
It is God who works in and through us, if only we would let God do His work.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our self-trust is such a subtle thing that it still comes around whispering to us even after we are sure it is gone.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Jesus calls us to his rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

Tens of thousands, perhaps millions, have come into some kind of religious experience by accepting Christ, and they have not been saved.

Love wills the good of all and never wills harm or evil to any

The world is perishing for lack of the knowledge of God and the Church is famishing for want of His Presence.

Complacency is the deadly enemy of spiritual progress. The contented soul is the stagnant soul.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
God takes that which is nothing and makes something out of it. When you become a Christian, you cannot patch your Christianity onto your old life. You are to start over. Accept God's call as a promotion. Burn the old bridges and fix it so you cannot go back then serve God with all your heart.
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.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
No matter what the circumstances, we Christians should keep our heads. God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and of a sound mind. It is a dismal thing to see a son of heaven cringe in terror before the sons of earth.

God dwells in the heart where praise is.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We wonder why we don't have faith the answer is, faith is confidence in the character of God and if we don't know what kind of God God is, we can't have faith.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Retire from the world each day to some private spot. Stay in the secret place till the surrounding noises begin to fade out of your heart and a sense of God's presence envelops you. Deliberately tune out the unpleasant sounds and come out of your closet determined not to hear them. Listen for the inward voice till you learn to recognize it.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
In Christ and by Christ, God effects complete self-disclosure , although He shows Himself not to reason but to faith and love. Faith is an organ of knowledge, and love an organ of experience. God came to us in the incarnation in atonement He reconciled us to Himself, and by faith and love we enter and lay hold on Him.

An honest man is strange when he is among dishonest men, but it is a good kind of strangeness.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The notion that the careless sinner is the smart fellow and the serious-minded Christian, though well-intentioned, is a stupid dolt altogether out of touch with life will not stand up under scrutiny. Sin is basically an act of moral folly, and the greater the folly the greater the fool.
