We are here to affirm, not to deny... when we affirm all that is God, all that is not God is automatically denied.

In almost everything that touches our everyday life on earth, God is pleased when we're pleased. He wills that we be as free as birds to soar and sing our maker's praise without anxiety.

The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy.

Speaking as a minister it is my strong feeling that no man has a right to preach to a crowd that he has not prayed for.

The church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

Self is the opaque veil that hides the face of God from us.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The church that can't worship must be entertained. And leaders who can't lead a church to worship must provide the entertainment.

If you want to be changed, read a good book.

Nothing that comes from God will minister to my pride of self-congratulation. If I am tempted to be complacent and to feel superior because I have had a remarkable vision or an advanced spiritual experience, I should go at once to my knees and repent of the whole thing. I have fallen victim to the enemy.

The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

God wants us to worship Him. He doesn't need us, for He couldn't be a self-sufficient God and need anything or anybody, but He wants us. When Adam sinned it was not he who cried, 'God, where art Thou?' It was God who cried, 'Adam, where art thou?'

The labor of self-love is a heavy one indeed. Think whether much of your sorrow has not arisen from someone speaking slightingly of you. As long as you set yourself up as a little god to which you must be loyal, how can you hope to find inward peace?

There can be no doubt that this possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the [christian] life. Because it is so natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The victorious Christian neither exalts nor downgrades himself. His interests have shifted from self to Christ. What he is or is not no longer concerns him. He believes that he has been crucified with Christ and he is not willing either to praise or deprecate such a man.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The impulse to pursue God originates with God, but the outworking of that impulse is our following hard after Him.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
We please God most, not by frantically trying to make ourselves good, but by throwing ourselves into His arms.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
The widest thing in the universe is not space it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world's greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.
