If your Christianity depends upon a pastor's preaching, then you're a long way from being where you should be.

The Christian is a holy rebel loose in the world with access to the throne of God.

Image
I have no doubt that historians will conclude that we of the twentieth century had intelligence enough to create a great civilization but not the moral wisdom to preserve it.

The man who comes to a right belief about God is relieved of ten thousand temporal problems.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
We Christians must simplify our lives or lose untold treasures on earth and in eternity. Modern civilization is so complex as to make the devotional life all but impossible. The need for solitude and quietness was never greater than it is today.

Image
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.

One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion. Were Christ to call a king from his throne to preach the gospel to some tribe of aborigines, that king would be elevated above anything he had known before. Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

God does not stop at rescuing us the purpose of that rescue is to enjoy fellowship with us.

If worship bores you, you are not ready for heaven.

In trying to count our many blessings the difficulty is not to find things to count, but to find time to enumerate them all.

Image
What then are we to do about our problems? We must learn to live with them until such time as God delivers us from them...we must pray for grace to endure them without murmuring. Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting. They harm us only when we resist them or endure them unwillingly.

It is doubtful we can be Christian in anything unless we are Christian in everything.

Image
Sometimes I go to God and say, God, if Thou dost never answer another prayer while I live on this earth, I will still worship Thee as long as I live and in the ages to come for what Thou hast done already. God’s already put me so far in debt that if I were to live one million millenniums I couldn’t pay Him for what He’s done for me.

Because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.

I'm not afraid of the devil. The devil can handle me - he's got judo I never heard of. But he can't handle the One to whom I'm joined he can't handle the One to whom I'm united he can't handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.

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.

The man or woman who is wholly or joyously surrendered to Christ can't make a wrong choice/any choice will be the right one.

Powerless religion may put a man through many surface changes and leave him exactly what he was before.

Faith is not in itself a meritorious act the merit is in the One to Whom it is directed.

It is no sin to doubt some things, but it may be fatal to believe everything.
